I love how in addition to old traditions, new ones get thrown in too! For instance, the adult Goodman party has made its second appearance this year and I hope it is here to stay!
This year we played a game in couples where you have to unwrap presents one handed... with a snow glove on to reap your reward. Of course there is always a bonus gift and this year it came down to the wire of sudden death. Valerie vs us. We came out victorious with some extra x-mas cash:) But let me tell you she is a tough cookie to beat!
We have been in cousin heaven! Collin and Weston are here from NY so it has been non stop play time. I don't think these boys ever leave each others sides when they are together.
We had our annual Udall cousin gift exchange and Lane was so excited to be in the big kid group and exchange presents! There is a rule that you must hug when you swap gifts.
Can you tell Lane had some anxiety over hugging a cute girl cousin. Hehe.
Ok, pressure is off. I can look at the camera and smile now.
Thanks for having a birthday Craig so we could celebrate at Amazing Jakes!
I am happy to announce that these 2 love birds are engaged!! Whoop Whoop! (sorry your eyes are closed Austin)
I entered a blog give away a few weeks ago, totally knowing I wasn't going to win. Because I never do. ever. Much to my surprise I received an email that made my day. Scratch. Made my the rest of the year!
Check out what I won!!
We made arrangements to meet at Hobby Lobby so she could give me my prize. Um, I would have been happy with just the box!
I rushed home to open it up.
I think the banner adorns my "dinning room" quite perfectly.
I have the anthro card tucked into my wallet waiting to be used on our (new) traditional
girl Scottsdale shopping trip next week.
Pretty sure I am wearing the scarf tonight.
THANK YOU Jilly and Mia from
Who loves Christmas cards? I do! I love walking by my card wall. I catch the boys stopping and checking them out daily.
CHEERS that:
Goodman progressive dinner is tonight. Smiles.
Rusty calls oranges peaches or pumpkins.
Lane play's the Mr. Grinch song over and over on you tube.
my new flat iron will arrive (hopefully) before Christmas.
It will all be over way too soon.
However:
I will not miss the TJ Max/Marshalls/HomeGoods commercial with the teens
who didn't make the Glee cast.

Sooo looks like my Christmas present will be pretty good this year considering you have an anthro gift card :) Seriously I wish you could have put up the home video we have on our camera of all of us on the roller coaster at amazing jakes. I have NO clue how your boys did it! I was freaking out! I'm excited for our second annual girls scottsdale shopping trip. Oh and I love that Rusty literally did walk into my room the other day eating an orange slice and told me it was a peach. I about died he cracks me up!
