Christmas at the Tracy's

Merry Christmas! I'll start with Christmas Eve, Spencer is ready for bed in his "a little nice, mostly naughty" shirt. I think he may be too excited to sleep (even though he knows all the 'tricks' of Christmas). Good thing he took a sleeping pill...lol It's Christmas morning and Spencer patiently waited till 8am to open his presents. Of course, he woke us up at 7am but, we stayed in bed for an hour, trying to wake up. We stayed up till after 2:30 am the night before watching Mamma Mia. He was sooo excited to run down and see all his presents. He was super excited to get an iPod shuffle, and a wii Nerf game

Not so excited for a men's grooming kit. (but seriously, he is about at that age where he needs it! And glad to get some snow boots, finally, so he can sled with out frozen toes,

Of course, he got some other things, stuffed in his stocking, but all the important things are documented. Except the presents he got from his grandparents.

He got a really cool, super grown up electric powered Razor scooter from his grandpa Jones and Laura. He is extremely excited to put this together and charge it so he can ride around the neighborhood. He also recieved some neat world record books too. (I've been reading these all day)

He also got a really neat tool set from his grandpa Ed, (just in time to help dad build shelves in the garage) and a wii game that he has been waiting for for ages, Thanks grandma Lorilee! Aaron was really sweet and thoughtful this year and although we PROMISED we wouldn't get presents for each other (except for guitar hero, world tour) he gave me 2 pictures sketched by a friend of his. One is of Spencer, the other is of me on our wedding day. They are really amazing pictures. They look so real and lifelike. It was very unexpected and very much appreciated.

I hope you all had a wonderful, marvelous christmas this year. I know we did.

The Holidays...

We started the holidays off with a bang! (of chocolate, that is)... This is me and my mom making our Christmas chocolates and pictures of how they turned out.... Quite delicious if I do say so myself. We started in early November, and have been working like mad women ever since. (We made over 200 boxes...crazy)

YUM!

We also went to our annual Thanksgiving party in Phoenix, AZ, where we stay with the most wonderful, fun, and amazing friends anyone could ask for! We also got to go to a hockey game out there, where Amanda totally hooked us up with a game suite, special dinner passes, (for only the most important guests)

and F-U-N, FUN!

We had a delicious turkey and all the fixin's for Thanksgiving dinner, and as always a great time, visiting and watching our kids really get along!

Merry Christmas to everyone of our family and friends. We have been so busy this year, I didnt quite get to Christmas cards, but we love you all and wish your holidays are as good as ours!

This is me and Aaron at the Neil Diamond concert last week. It was AMAZING and wonderful and sexy. Such a great voice, and a wonderful, entertaining concert!

I was Tagged!

Okie dokie, I was tagged by my friend Shannon. I have to post my 4th picture in my 4th folder in my pictures file on my computer... It is of Spencer during one of the many trips we took to Yellowstone 2 years ago. We had such a great time! If you haven't been, you should really put it on your list of things to do. You could literally spend days and days, hiking, driving around, seeing the amazing animals and watching the beautiful waterfalls and water pots around. Now I tag Lori, Mindy and Ali!
