'Tis the Season...of getting fatter

Does anybody else kinda dread this time of year for that reason? I mean, I like to eat, but the continuous treats from little gifts, church activities, work parties, friend parties, family parties...it's enough to kill someone! Or at least make it impossible to button the pants and I start to kind of fell sick all the time and half of it I want to just throw away. I'm a big time sucker for the salty stuff like the crackers and dip and finger foods yada-yada...the cookies and pastery crap don't even appeal to me for some reason. Anyway, on another note, I've gone to see the Christmas lights a couple times at Temple Square already and it has been such awesomely "warm" weather here until about 2 days ago and then the snow hit. So what I'm saying is, it was soooo much fun to go see the lights with a jacket and gloves and to feel cozy the whole time instead of freezing! Thank Heaven above for the late start to winter here!!!
This was the first trip of the season with Lisa and Brittany :) I also went last weekend with Amber, John, Kyle, and MJay (Cedar City boys), but Am took pictures that time. It was MUCH more crowded last weekend!

Nate

He did great! They are pretty sure they got it all and are waiting the testing on it, but they said it is low grade so it has a very small chance of growing back whatever it is. He may have some peripheral vision impairments apparently, but shouldn't be too bad. And he looks great! I saw him last night and he was pretty with it and had an awesome cotton helmet!

Prayers

My cute cousin Nate (the one with the glasses in the white shirt with red stripes) is having brain surgery to remove a tumor in about an hour. Any extra prayers would be very sweet of you! Thank you! Love you all!

Thanksgiving...no, Christmas...wait, Thanksgiving...

My Brother's fam come down from Oregon and we had an absolutely perfect Thanksgiving weekend! It was such a needed break and it was sooooo much fun! I only wish we had had a lot more time together! But our three days were awesome! I hauled Lisa all around on Friday shopping, starting at 4:30 a.m.! I bought a lot of things for great deals and spent way too much money- the largest purchase was my new pair of ski's and ski boots! We were going strong for like 6 hours...that's probably what caused her to wake up with the flu the next morning :( Since we won't be with them for Christmas, we did a little early Christmas exchanging...
