Matt, after returning from some last minute Christmas shopping, says: "The mall was crazy today! You wouldn't believe how many people were there. Luckily, no one seemed to want to shop in the store I was shopping for you in."
hmmm....can't wait to see what it is!
Then our conversation continued...
Matt: "I saw the funniest thing I almost got you. It was one of those--I don't know what you call it--it's kind of like a shirt, but it's really long and it's pajamas."
Me: "A nightgown?"
Matt: "Ya, a nightgown. And it had a big teddy-bear on it, and it said 'Cute and Cuddly' across the bottom."
Well, if that little treasure was passed up, I really can't wait to see what it is!
Merry Christmas!!!

Happy Late Thanksgiving!
Sorry...just haven't been in the blogging mood lately.
We had a great Thanksgiving this year! Since everyone at Platinum went on the company cruise, Matt had extra time off, so we headed to Montana. Savannah was spoiled with lots of books to read and Max was spoiled with someone to hold him at all times! It was nice to just have time to relax and hang out with family. Matt is from the cutest little town. I keep wanting to take lots of pictures there, but when I pulled out my camera, the battery was dead...so no pictures of the whole trip!
The kids did okay in the car. We split up the drive into 2 days which helped. On the way there, we stayed in a classy little place called "The Sundowner Inn" in Dillon. Was it nice? Well that all depends on if you are picky about having clean sheets and towels. On the way home, we drove through a snow storm. The drive to Idaho Falls should have taken us about 5 hours and it took about 9. Add to that a crying baby, and a toddler that drops everything over and over just so you can keep reaching back to pick it up...and you have one fun filled drive! Despite the stress of traveling with kids, it is always worth it, and we had a great time! Highlights of the drive included a little MC Hammer, Billy Rae's 'Achy-Breaky Heart', and some Johnny Cash. Who can complain when you have classic music like that to listen to? I make fun of Matt because he could listen to "A boy named Sue" over and over. He makes fun of me for busting out my Hammer time moves. He is just jealous that he never owned a pair of Hammer pants growing up. Mine were pretty sweet!
