Happy Late Christmas and Merry New Year!

Well we went on an ice fishing trip so I didn't blog about Christmas! Usually our Christmas tradition is the whole family gets together and we have this nice dinner, and there is music and dancing. Then when the clock hits 12 we all open our presents since it's Christmas all ready and then we wake up in the morning and play with our gifts and clean up our mess. BUT no one wanted to folow that tradition this year they just wanted to go bed. So I made them open my gifts. Lili was so excited when all the little kids got here, she was dancing the whole night that as soon as it was time to eat cake she was just shoving the cake in her mouth (mind you it's like 10:30) way past her bed time! She finished eating her cake and played with the kids. We put her Christmas Pj's on and she passed out at 11:00 pm and didn't move the rest of the night lol. I went in at 1:00 am pretty sure the both of us didn't wake up until Rob bursts the Bedroom door open. I'm so tired but when I look at the clock it was almost 10:00 am. My parents where sitting on the couch drinking coffee and they were like wow you guys had a long night. Not really mom you were there! So Lili was spoiled out of all the peoples in the house. I got a a Flat Screen TV! Really nice from Rob. I had asked for a camera and kit but in order to get it everyone in the family had to chip in $200+ I couldn't ask that so I have 1/3 of the money saved up to get it myself lol! Rob got new hunting gear! He was pretty excited about that. He's really hard to shop for since he hates everything. My mom got lots of monies to just spend wherever she wants; she's a bad one to shop for too. I got Jerry a Camping coffee mug and campfire blend coffee he loved that, but I think he loved his birthday present more.. my mom got him a BYU wind Jacket which he couldn't wait to open cause it had his name on it.

On saturday we took off and went Ice fishing at Piute Resevior. We stayed at Big Rock Candy Mountain ( Seriously middle of nowhere.. the people who live there run the businesses. That's how small we are talking) Anyways mom and I and Lili stayed behind the first day while the boys took off fishing. We had fun in the hotel a little bit. We ate at the cafe for lunch and then just chilled in the room. Keep in mind it's like 0 degrees the whole time. I couldn't get good pictures because I forgot my boots next to the couch. Well the boys came back and then we got all dolled up and went to dinner at Hoover's... not Hooter's..... Hoover's! SO GOOD! I had the all you can eat Crab Legs and I was just in heaven! Everyone know's how much I enjoyed that! Rob had the fish and chips (all you can eat) My momma had Prime Rib and that was just amazing too. It was a huge piece of meat and she got the smallest cut! Jerry was like me and got the Crab legs. It was just fun! The next day we go up had a good breakfast and then went ice fishing!
