The Godfreys: Christmas Party

On Monday I started wrapping presents and I was so proud of myself. I figured better get that done so I don't stay up late on Christmas eve wrapping presents. As I finished wrapping the few that I brought in my room I realized I still had a lot more to wrap, blah. I am determined though to bake some scrumptious Christmas goodies and give away to some friends and neighbors. I will try but I'm not going to promise anything.

We went up north last weekend for the Petersen Christmas party and we stayed at my mom's house. On Saturday morning I woke up early and headed to Honeyville to meet a friend so that we could go on a run. I told my friend that I would call her whenever I'm up and we would arrange a time to run together outside. What a day to run outside I tell ya. It was cold and foggy. The whole way to Honeyville I kept my eye out for any animals because I didn't want to hit a deer or whatever happens to hop out in the middle of the highway. As I am driving to Honeyville I started going down old memory lane. It had been forever since I drove the highway and couldn't believe how many new houses have been built out there. I get to my friends house and we head out running and I was FREEZING. My face was that is. As we are talking and running I look over at my friend and was thinking to myself wow she is starting to get a little gray. A 1/2 mile or so later it got a lot whiter and I told her I thought she was going gray and realized it was from the fog. She thought the same thing with me too cause she say a little white on my hair. After we ran 6 miles our front of our head was covered in white, eyelashes and eyebrows were white too. Who runs in the cold and fog, apparently Joanna and I do. It was fun and I'm glad that I have someone to run with during the cold season to keep me motivated. I will see her early in the morning the day after Christmas for another 6 mile run, and it will be a lot colder then that it was that day.

After I had showered and somewhat thawed myself out we headed to the Petersen Christmas party. It was fun we ate a lot and Santa came to visit. I was excited for Brock to see Santa cause I wanted to see his reaction and he did great. He didn't look at Santa in the eye but he sat on his lap and Santa asked him if he wanted a truck he nodded yes and then Santa asked him if he wanted candy and he nodded yes got his candy and orange and off he went. No screaming no crying. What a little trooper.

On Sunday we went to Uncle Curt's house in Clearfield and hung out with Aunt Sheree and Bruce and other family. It was fun being able to visit with Sheree since we don't see her too often. When it hit 5pm we all went to temple square and walked around to see the lights. Brock was so excited to see the lights and I was proud of my little kiddos being tough and bearing the cold weather. It was pretty cold and by the time we went home Jazmin started to cry cause her hands were cold and Brock's poor little wrist were cold because his coat would show a little skin.
