I've become small town!

Anyone who knows me well, especially during college will get a kick out of this! I have become a small town girl! Yep, I love good ole Morgan Utah, the city without one traffic light!
All through college I said if I was still single when I graduated I wanted to live in New York and give the publishing world a try. I lived in London for 4 months and absoutely loved it!!
But there is something great about small town life. Yes, there are frustrations here and there, but overall, it is awesome! I love that most everyone here knows each other by name. I love that the bank tellers know me by name and don't even ask for I.D. I LOVE that there is no traffiic or parking trouble! i love the close knit community. I think that thing that set this all off was my several trips to downtown Salt Lake and outlying areas during the holildays. I had the worst time finding parking and just dealing with city stuff!
This is all ironic because I am a Salt Lake city girl and SLC is not even that big compared to New York or London!
Here and there i miss the city and just drive to Salt Lake, but overall I am glad I love living in small, good ole Morgan! This is an aeril view of morgan from a website i found called soarwest. I thougt it was pretty! For all of you who do not know where Morgan is (that was me once) it is east of Ogden up I-84 eastbound. On the other side of Ogden canyon and Pineview. the population of Morgan as of January 2009 is estimated 8,000.

playtime with the blankets

During our sunday rest time, Steve and I came out to find the boys had dragged all our blankets and sleeping bags out to the front room. We didn't know they could pull them all, some are pretty heavy!

the boys love their new rides!

Well, Santa's gifts were a hit! We took them down to the unfinished basement to drive around until Spring. Steve had to give them a lesson in 3 point turns. They love their new rides!

The boys visit Santa

The boys got to sit on Santa's lap at Fisher's Christmas program. This was especially fun since Santa could sign. Fisher was able to tell Santa his name and what he wanted for Christmas without an interpreter.

Tucker too got to sit on Santa's lap and could hold his own signing to him as well.

Merry Christmas!

Tucker enjoying USDB's program:

USDB's Christmas program..proud moment!

The last 2-3 years Fisher has been going to USDB they have a Christmas program. It is so cute, and for the last 2-3 years Fisher just sits or stands there with his classic "Stone Face"...not this year! This year Fisher actually participated in the program. Here is video for proof! Enjoy!
In case you can't make out the music..it is the reindeer hokey pokey.
Fisher is in the center with the green shirt and antlers and mittens! It takes him awhile to warm up to performing...but he does do it!

Some of it may be a little blurry..sorry about that!

Christmas time at Temple Square

For the last ten years or so that I have been home from my mission, my companions and I have talked (or atleast wished) about starting a tradition. Well..this year it happened! My first greenie, Sister Soderstrom, or Storm as she is more affectionately called, and her cute family met us at Temple Square to see the lights. After we all freezed our toes and fingers off we went to JB's next to Temple Square for hot chocolate.

Thanks Storm (and Ben and kids as well) for helping me to follow through with this!

Sorry this is the only picture I had. I guess we were too cold to get one of us all.

I just elfed our family and added more post
