Some Holiday Cheer!!!!



We hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Christmas and Happy New Year! We had 2 weeks off from school and spent the first week with my fam in North Dakota. We went ice skating, sledding, shopping, and to a few movies with them, Bedtime Stories and Yes Man, which were both really good! We went to my Mom's on Christmas morning and she gave us some great decorative items for our home, clothes, and some bath stuff. We spent the rest of the day with Dad and Judie. They gave me some really nice jewelry,perfume, religious CDs, a digital picture frame, and of course...money!!!! All sets of Grandparents sent good sums of money this year, too, so we feel very blessed! Even Judie's family sent us stuff this year...we were like, "who's Grandma and Grandpa Pearson?" Haha. So that was really nice of them!! Preston gave me a lot of clothes from Aeropostale, some fun scrapbooking stuff, a couple new pairs of boots (yay!), some new ski gear, and best of all...A New Keyboard! He was really creative in the way he gave it to me since he couldn't take it up there! I gave him a lot of clothes for winter, and.....A New Guitar!! So we've been having so much fun recording some songs together, since the keyboard can do a lot of cool stuff like that! We had to come back to Utah for the 2nd week of break, since we both had to go back to work (bummer), but we were able to spend New Years with Preston's fam, which was great! We saw a few movies with them as well, 7 Pounds and Valkyrie, I highly recommend both! We had Christmas with them on New Years eve! They got me some jewelry, a jewelry box (a very nice one!), a statue of the Salt Lake Temple, new bed pillows, pajamas, a genealogy poster chart, food storage stuff, and best of all.......a spanking nice GPS! We love it! So, the holidays were great this year! Sometimes its fun to get 3 Christmases, but its also sad because it reminds me my parents are divorced. Before Christmas, we went up to Salt Lake to temple square, with Preston's fam, and saw all the lights and ate at The Roof Restaurant, a Nate family tradition! So, that's what we've been up to! Hope all is well with all our friends and family! We love you all! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

You guys have too much fun! We are living in our hometown in Eastern Utah. We have a love hate relationship with this place. The biggest perk is being close to family though. It was great to hear from you. Hope you are well! Take care...
