Christmas Re-cap

This Christmas season was a great time. It was so fun to be with family, watch all the snow come down, ski in that great snow, and just relax. Here is a quick re-cap of our last week.....
Christmas Eve night we went to my dad's house for the annual Cannon pajama party. We had delicious food and played "The Newlywed Game", needless to say there were a lot of laughs between all of us couples. The poor single people had to be the "question askers" and I'm sure learned a little too much about us all.

Christmas Day I unfortunately had to work until noon so it didn't seem like Christmas until those dreadful hours were over. We met up with Scott's family and saw Valkyrie. Then we went back and had a delicious dinner with Scott's family and then opened our presents. Scott's mom made us girls these darling glass necklaces with our first initials on one side and a picture on the back. Love them.

Scott and I are the new proud owners of a photo printer! Woohoo!
Brace yourselves....the best present of all from Scott.....a dishwasher! This was by far the best gift of all. It has already done wonders for our marriage! It's a great portable one that hooks right on up to our sink and has a nice wooden chop block on top to use as more counter space. Our place in Omaha doesn't have a dishwasher so we will most definitely be taking this with us! It is too good to be true! Thank you Scotty!

The best part of Christmas (even besides the dishwasher) was talking to this guy...My little brother Joe is serving in Charleston, West Virginia and he got to call me on Christmas night and the time talking to him was the greatest part of Christmas. That kid is milestones ahead of me as far as knowledge in the gospel and doing what's right. Listening to him talk about his love for the Book of Mormon and his knowledge of it was such a testimony to me. We all sent him packages for Christmas and he gave everything away to the people there. He loves them dearly. He is in the poorest part of WV and his stories are absolutely incredible. I am so proud of him.

Sunday morning we headed up to Midway and spent the next couple of days up at my moms. There is so much snow up there! My mom and I spent a day baking delicious homemade wheat bread, cinnamon rolls, and caramel popcorn. It was fun to bake in her new kitchen. We definitely made a mess but had great success!

and while we were baking in our cozy little house, this was going on outside.....Scotty and I took my little brothers up to Soldier Hollow to go tubing. It was a great time, and the best part of all is that instead of walking up the hill you can do this.....

Isn't that great?! We were all about the tow rope for sledding.

And last but not least, lots of this!Yesterday we went up with our great friends Spencer and Lisa. It was so nice to not have it be freezing freezing cold for once. Has anyone else noticed how FREEZING it's been up there all year? We even got some sunshine and if I may say, it was well deserved!
