Christmas Party

So Saturday was our ward Christmas party. The theme this year was Christmas in Zarahemla, it was neat because prophets of old came and told stories of the coming of Christ, the kids got to make projects and collect special stones, and as always the dinner was great. They asked everuone to dress up in biblical times (hence the costumes) and I just have to say, I wasn't planning on doing much because the kids don't usually like to dress up but Brian gets really excited about things like this and he actually came up with all the costumes and made them himself! Isn't he wonderful! Brian and I were asked to be Mary and JOseph and Kate was baby Jesus. She slept through the whole thing and was just precious! The boys LOVE Star Wars and lucky for us they thought their costumes were Jedi costumes so they were excited to go.

This week has been great Brian has been home finally for the whole week and we are loving having him home. He has been traveling a lot to interviews for residency. His top choice is Pocatello followed by Boise, Provo, and maybe Wyoming. He still has an interview in Washington. He is going into Family Practice. Good news is he will graduate from medical school in May!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooooo excited to be moving on to a new section of life for us.

I'm posting pictures of Kate mostly for the family that reads the blog but also because she's so stinkin cute!

Football fan

So for those of you who don't know I am a HUGE Steelers fan. I have been able to convert Brian to cheer for my team also. In my obsession I have added a sidebar where I can keep track of my team . I'm hoping they make it to the superbowl. I know for a fact that the cowboys won't make it to the superbowl( that's for my brother in law). So go Steelers!!

Nothing but dull news...

Ok for the last few days or weeks I should say Brian has been in and out of town on interviews for residency. Last week we had him around for Thanksgiving which we went to my grandma Phillips house and had a great time. Thanks grandma! After Thanksgiving Brian decided to venture out on black Friday and of all places, WalMart. Needless to say, I don't think he'll do that again.
This week he is again gone, this time to Utah to interview. He's almost done with the interviews the last are in Washington. Then he'll be home for CHristmas. Its been a long few days already.
We blessed Kate on Sunday and had a great dinner afterwards at Becky's (thank you so much Becky). Her house was the only one big enough to hold our families. Our house is barely big enough for us. So a huge thanks to all who helped with that, it was great.
