December started out by Jamon going back to Folk Dance. It was the 50 anniversary to they called everyone back. He got to dance in the beginning number and hold a flag at the end of the show. You can't take pictures of the actually performance so here are some after. He got to dance in the beginning number and hold a flag at the end of the show.
Jamon really wanted to make treat plates to take to his primary class so we went shopping and whipped everything out in just over 3 hours. We went easy, except for the fudge and Jamon really wanted to try making it. It tasted great, but didn't ever set up.
For Christmas we went down to Enoch to spend the week with my family. We got there Tuesday afternoon and didn't leave until the next Monday. We did a lot of game playing and movie watching. Christmas was fun. My family still gets up at 6:00 am. Jamon got piano lessons, sweaters/jackets, and playstation controllers. I got a remote for my camera, a GPS system, a nice coat/jacket, and a cozy warm house robe that is turning out to be the best present!
One of the kids my mom babysits likes to play with this marble set. I'm pretty sure Jamon had more fun with it. If you've never played with a marble set you are missing out. It really is quite fun and entertaining. Jamon built this one all by himself, with no help. Good Job!
The day after Christmas we woke up early and went Ice fishing. My family loves to Ice Fish and Jamon has never been. We bundled up good because it was SO COLD. We drilled our holes and droped in the poles. Jordan caught the first fish, but it was too small to keep. Through out the morning I think 10 fish were caught, but I'm not sure how many we could keep.

We cut our Christmas Vacation a little short because my good friend/roommate/gym buddy got married. We drove through the snow Tuesday morning to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It was a good and short ceremony. We went outside in the freezing cold for pictures. Then later that night we met Scotty and Dave for a movie and then the reception. It was a good day and I am so happy for her. I will miss her since she moved to West Virginia. Jamon is now my gym buddy.
Jamon and I have a picture similar to this from our wedding.So the next day Wednesday, we woke up early and left our house around 6am to drive to the Ranch in Idaho for New Years. It took us 8 hours to get there, 1 1/2 hours longer than normal. It was very snowy for the first part of the trip. Up at the Ranch we enjoyed more games and movies and tons of sledding/tubing/snowboarding. We had an early New Years with the kids and then when the New Year really rolled in I was sound asleep in bed while Jamon and others were watching a movie. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've slept thru New Years.
I told you this post would take forever. Almost a month. I'm not even going to promise to try and do better in the future. I'll just get to them when I can. Sorry to those who want updates more frequently.
