Christmas Spirit

Saturday was my birthday! Saturday birthdays rock. We weren't in a rush and we got to spend the day together. Austin made breakfast, then I did have to go to choir practice, then we went sledding in our backyard, and then we went out to lunch/dinner at Hamilton's Steakhouse. Austin had gift certificate for it, but we went at 3 p.m. so it wouldn't be too crowded. It was great. Austin gave me a spa package where I get to go to a spa for 4 different visits (haircut, manicure, skin care, and massage). A lady came to his school to sell them to the teachers. I was so surprised/excited. My family also gave me a sweater and an exercise mat.


Hanna is a daredevil sledder. She likes to stand up and she always says that reindeer pull her sled, she says "Let's go Rudolph." Carly's first sledding experience.


Plus I had an early birthday lunch with Hilary (thanks so much - it was fun and tastey and I also enjoyed my leftovers). And tomorrow I am going to lunch with a friend whose birthday is December 19 so we call it our pity lunch. She doesn't like having her birthday so close to Christmas either.
My new birthday shirt/sweater.


My family has a tradition to sleep under the Christmas tree for one night before Christmas. Austin only made it until 1:30 a.m. when he decided the couch wasn't too comfortable.




Austin and I got asked to be Mary and Joseph for the nativity at our ward Christmas party. Carly wasn't a very cuddly baby Jesus.

That's such a fun tradition, to sleep under the Christmas tree! I love it, and think I might adopt that when I have a family of my own :) (and, happy birthday!)

Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had a great day. The spa package sounds awesome. Nate paid for me to get a massage the day before we got married. I thought I would hate it (crazy, I know), but it is the best ever. If I had a million dollars, I would get one every week.

Hanna is awesome. You'll have to come boating with us again. Those skills will come in handy if she wants to learn to ski.

Hi Kay! Happy late birthday! I usually always think of you on the 20th, but forget to call. It sounds like you had a great day! I'm jealous of your spa package. Your girls are sooo cute!! Austin is 35?? Old fart!! ha!ha! I'm not too far behind him!
