There was a big blizzard on the night of his birthday. We had reservations at PF Chang's, but they called us that afternoon and told us that they were closing down because of the storm. We tried about 5 other places before we gave up. Both of us were kind of blown away, we had never seen anything like that happen in Utah before, even with all the big snow storms they get there.
We had a fun Christmas by ourselves, although it was sad to be so far away from family. We tried to do most of the traditions from both of our families...We went out to look at Christmas lights, watched a Christmas Carol, and made a bunch of yummy appetizers on Christmas Eve...I made so much we ended up eating it for about the next week! It was nice to be able to talk to both of our families on the webcam on Christmas day, just not quite the same as being home.
On New Year's Eve, we drove out to Salisbury, PA to visit some friends back for the holidays from BYU. Jeremy had a great time doing manly things with Matt...playing with a chainsaw...burning an 18 foot Christmas tree...lighting off fireworks. We're so excited that this fall, Matt and Kim will be moving to the Washington DC area, so we'll get to see them more often!
