...and loved it! Thought I would share
"Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy." Gordon B. Hinckley

Oh my GOODNESS!
So here's a little back ground for this post! First thing you need to know is that I have a brother who is in med school in Arizona. Second thing you need to know is we have a couple Christmas traditions in this family that we look forward to more then opening presents. Lets start off with our Christmas Eve traditions. We like to go to this German delicatessen downtown called Siegfrieds. It's so good! Then on Christmas morning after presents. We eat pigs in a blanket. Not literally pig but little smokies wrapped up in biscut dough. So last year at siegfrieds Brinton was saying that he will fly up long enough to go to Siegfreids and then fly home. Totally joking right? Right!
Yesterday coming home from shopping my mom, we were talking about how Brinton is just going to have to deal with eating pigs in a Blanket at home in Arizona. But Becky being the good kind loving wife that she is tried making them when they lived in salt lake on Christmas morning one year. Brinton didn't like them. They weren't the same as the ones at moms house. Even though they were the exact same thing. I was saying how seigfreids is going to be dull this year as well with out them here. And left it at that because they are in med school and everything.
Well today I was saying to my mom and Micah how cool it would be if they were to just show up and surprise us for christmas! But knew it wouldn't happen.
Tonight Brinton called my house phone, which in its self is kinda odd. But my mom had gone to the Christmas concert so her phone wasn't on. So I guess it's not that weird for him to call the house phone. But when I was talking to him he was unusually happy sounding. Not that he isnt every happy because he is, but he just is sidetracked ALOT with med school. So talking to him is kinda boring. (don't worry I already told him this) I though it was odd he was that happy sounding but left it at that.
Me and Micah went to go see Hugo, which by the way was so long and boring, I don't really recommend it, I got a text from Brinton asking what movie we went to see so I told him. And he asked why I was texting in the movie I said cuz he texted and asked me. Odd incident with Brinton number two tonight. I then eventually get a text from Becky and it said "dane needs a haircut, wish you were here to cut it for us" and then I had a picture message from her and figured it was a picture of Dane and his long hair. But it was captions and I mean here as in your house. I was a little confused but didn't think much more of it. The picture was of my mom and the kids. I was kinda more confused because my mom had on the sweater that she wore to the concert but figured it was a just a coincidence. The. I caught on! BRINTON AND BECKY REALLY CAME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. I had literally said how cool it would be for them to show up and surprise us just hours before! Little did I know....they were already in town!!!!! They were up at Becky's family party in Layton since noon. I texted Becky and said "ARE YOU GUYS REALLY HERE????????????" she said yes!!!!! I freaked out a little in the movie haha. I'm sure Micah thought I was a little crazy!
Anyways so the movie ended and I got home and the kids were just going down to bed. But I pulled them out to give them hugs and tucked them back in bed. Ha oh my BEST GIFT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have really missed those kids lately like crazy so for them to be here right now is beyond excitement!
They are currently asleep up in my room and I am kicked out, luckily we have a spare mattress now so I can zonk out on that. Dane let me know that I wasn't sleeping in my room and that grandma was haha cute kid. I could not get mad at him for saying that. Lol as much of a bum deal that it is. Lol
Anyways it's two in the morning and I am wide awake from excitement! Watching 19 kids and counting! Too bad Micah's not here to enjoy it with Me! Ha jk he HATES this show!
Well wish me luck in trying to sleep!
