Finishing the year off right!

Merry Christmas!! We had a wonderful holiday going back and forth between Burley, American Falls, and the cabin. We spent the 23rd and 24th in Burley watching movies, shopping, and catching up with my siblings.It was so fun to have Sam, Megan, Liza, and Abi all home from BYU :) On Christmas eve we went back to American Falls in time for NACHOS and to watch the Grinch.
Blake got a present that night from Eric's parents. He loves his rocking chair :) Christmas morning we headed back to Mom and Dad Sorensen's.
Blake's first Christmas!! "Did Santa come last night?"
"He DID! And he brought me lots of presents!!"
Blake had been yanking the bows off presents all month....the time had finally come!
Santa brought Blake clothes and a choo choo train :)
Santa brought us a NEW BEDSPREAD, clothes, games, and lots of other fantastic doo-dads!
The whole Sorensen family got together that weekend and headed to the cabin to play for 4 days!! On Wednesday we went with Holly and the Bone's to Logan for AGGIE BASKETBALL!!!!!
Blake enjoyed his first college basketball game!
We beat Hawaii 74-66! UTAH STATE HEY AGGIES ALL THE WAY!!
And back to the cabin after the game....brrrr! Snowmobile ride at 11pm are freezy.
"I can't put my arms down, Mom!"
We played and played and played in the snow!! Eric even snowmobiled his name on the mountainside!
And here's our trusty fleet of sleds! On New Year's eve we went back to Burley, and I went snowboarding for the 1st time in 4 years!!! It was pretty rough, to say the least. I'm still SO sore, but it was fun to play on the slopes. We had our Christmas there (Thanks Mommy and Daddy) and ate our traditional black-eyed pea soup. Each bean = one day of good luck in the new year! The time spent with our families was priceless, and we're so excited to see what 2011 will bring!
