Merry Christmas! (from Idaho this time)

Be grateful your getting this post, and the last one (The Cruise) for that matter! I sure am grateful that I could post these! You see a few days after Christmas my phone fell in the toilet and was ruined! It wouldn't even turn on, and yes I even tried putting it in rice. So I took it into the store to get a new one and they said if it wont turn on there is no way they can get the pictures off of it! :( I thought that I had lost ALL my pictures and ALL the pictures from the cruise! I was VERY sad! Lucky for me I had icloud turned on to back my phone up (I didn't think I had it turned on), and it had backed it up the day before! I was SOOO Happy!! So anyways.. at least I'm grateful! ;)

When we got back from out cruise Tommy's sister came and picked us up from the airport (it was Freeezing!!) and we stayed in Utah for a couple days.
 
Monday night we went to temple square since Tommy had never seen the lights and since that is one of my favorite places ever! Especially at Christmas time! I was so excited we finally got to go!




Even though I knew it was impossible, this is what I wanted our wedding pictures to look like, except with snow on the ground! Just because I love Christmas lights so much! But instead we were blessed with 50 degree weather (and no snow :( ) and I'm thankful for that, so we didn't all freeze :)



Our attempt to take a picture with a tree that seriously looked like the tree of life, it was Sooo pretty! But as you can see, it didn't work out that well.. in fact none of the pictures did :/

Just the tree.. this picture didn't work out either

After walking around temple square we attempted to go see the Christ, but there was a huge line you had to wait in so we just looked at it from outside.
 
That night we drove to Tommy's brothers house and spent the night there so we could spend some time with them. We went shooting the next morning, in which the bullets were forgotten so we shot what we had, came back and ate lunch and hit the road to head home.


Tommy helping Hunter shoot.. What a good uncle!





I absolutely love the Utah mountains! And the Payson temple and clouds were beautiful too!

But trying to get a good picture with my phone, in the back of a van, going 75mph doesn't turn out too well..
this is the best I could get

We came home the Christmas Adam (the night before Christmas eve ;) ) because Tommy had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day again this year (he's worked them and Thanksgiving all 3 years we've been married! :( ) So I spend Christmas Eve with his parents at the grandparents and he came over that night. That night I sent Tommy to Twin so he could go to work the next morning and I went to Gooding.. I guess you could say I have separation issues! Even thought is was just for one night, I did not want to let him go and send him home without me.. That was not fun at all!! :( Haha So we celebrated Christmas on the 26th this year.


We had a good Christmas! And with Tommy's chocolate daughter in the background ;) Tommy's main gift was a bunch of fishing lures and my main gift were new running shoes!! I had been needing them for a long time! I had been using the same ones that I used for working out and CNA'ing for 4 years! Oh and graduation ;)

Yep those are the ones haha

Ooop there's his girl! haha
(Sorry a few random pictures added in.. I have a little time on my hands..)

Tommy and me last year and this, I just liked these pictures side by side because first of all, even though he's still Hot as ever.. Tommy looks like a mountain man in last years (he looks much better in this years!) and second, my hair looks a lot healthier and longer this year! Yay!

 Merry Christmas from the McMurdies!
