Christmas in Bountiful, Utah We flew to
my parents' house for Christmas. My Grandpa Eyring was also there from
California. |
|

My parents, my brother Kenny, and Dave and I all went snowshoeing
Friday. It was a first for some of us, and Dave admitted that although
he hates snow, he liked "tromping" through the drifts. We hiked up for
2 hours; Dad made us hot chocolate. Then we walked down. It was a
beautiful for it. |

Friday night we went to Temple Square and had dinner at "The Roof" at
the top of the Joseph Smith building. It's a gourmet, buffet style
restaurant, and so popular we had to reserve it weeks in advance. We
stuffed ourselves--delicious! |

Saturday we drove with Dave's sister Julie and husband Mike to Dave's
grandparents near Logan, UT. We talked, hung out in Grandpa's workshop,
ate Grandma's food, went Christmas shopping after, and were treated to
Aggie ice cream. Danny and Karen especially kept us entertained with
their dreams of "the compound": housing lots/hunting fields, complete
with underground bowling and a helicopter. The Robertsons are such
crazies! |

On Christmas Eve, my mom's family came over and we had dinner, a
mini-program, and watched "Muppet Family Christmas", an Eyring family
classic. Christmas Eve I borrow a Robertson family tradition of making
funny presents. Kenny and Chris got a "How to Get Married" book, ('how
we met' stories from the whole family.) Dave gave me a guitar pick, to
mock my only Christmas wish. Mom got a funny pair of Christmas earrings,
but she had to open 17 layers of wrapping paper and tape. Grandpa, who
grows nuts on his farm, got the biggest nut of all, a coconut. Dave got
"Just add water" magic snow, since he hates the cold white stuff.
Dad got a box wrapped in "Have a Happy, Non-Denominational,
Capitalist, Wintertime Gift-giving Season" and filled with old credit
cards. (Funny because Dad complains about secularists who say "Happy
Holidays" instead of the religious "Merry Christmas". |

Christmas morning, I got what I'd been begging for for months: a guitar.
And Dave has learned how to not give me any hints, and I was really
surprised! He bought it in Florida and had it shipped. I carefully
carried it home on the plane. Woo-hoo! Dave tests out his new
headlamp. Chris made a big breakfast, played new board games, and talked
to family. Happy Christmas! |

The morning we left, we went to Temple Square to see the new Joseph
Smith movie. Sooooo good! We came back to the sunshine. Here is our
little shell-and-snowflake Florida Christmas tree. |
