Our mattress and our Car!!!

So funny story time......

We were able to get a new bed recently. We were way excited and couldn't wait until we had a new comfy bed, so much that we decided that there shouldn't be a problem with getting our mattress and box spring back to our place by putting it on our car. Mind you we have a Subaru. The picture tells the rest.

Sorry it is little blurry. It was taken in front of our apartment. The journey to get it to this point is quite funny. We strapped it on at the place we picked it up at and we may of driven only about a half a mile and it started to fall of. We had to pull off and re-strap the mattress. We got it back on and drove about 10 miles per hour with our hands out the window keeping the bed steady. We couldn't help but laugh as our car looked like a clown car. All to get our mattress as fast as possible and to save ourselves 30 dollars on delivery!!

Christmas 2011

The holidays are some of the best times of the year and this year is no different. We were spoiled by our family and friends. Of course the best part was just being able to be with them. Christmas usually is a month long holiday. The first event went to was our Ward's Christmas Party.....

It was so much fun to see the kids come up to Curt aka Santa and how comfortable they were with him. I was even able to tell "Santa" what I wanted for Christmas. 

The next event we went to was the Humphrey Family Christmas party. This year it was at Beth and Ryan's. As always it was great food- homemade chicken pot pies, salads, and homemade pumpkin cheese cake. SOOO Yummy!! We eat and opened presents. Of course we also opened lots of presents.

After the Humphrey Family Christmas, we went to the Sheffield Family Christmas party on Christmas Eve. Again more yummy food and presents. 

It was so good to spend so much time with family.

For our Christmas, we started the day at church. Afterwards we came home and opened presents. Curt got me so many wonderful things. We have a tradition that we spend a certain amount on each other and we have to be creative on how to spend that certain amount. It is so much fun to see what we were able to come up for each other. We did have a first this year. We had our first live Christmas tree. We had it up and decorated the weekend of Thanksgiving. We loved the smell of pine that it brought into our house.
