Getting Ready for Christmas!

Well earlier today I wrote 2 really long, good paragraphs about our weekend in Wyoming with out dad and I somehow screwed it up and I didn't save it, so here i am retyping everything, which I am not looking forward to. So I am just going to sum it up! ok? Well over the weekend we went to Alpine, (where my dad is living) and we had some fun activities planned. We got to decorate gingerbread houses! My dad thought for sure his would be the best, but i thought my little sisters looked better than his! Liz (a family friend) who we love to hang out with and was with us over the weekend, did an awesome job on hers. It took her forever and she told us she is NEVER going to take that much time and put that much effort into a gingerbread house again. But everyone thought it looked pretty cool. We watched a little football..well actually a lot of football. Even though we really don't like Florida college teams we watched Florida vs. Alabama and we were really excited when Florida took the victory.We also got a Christmas Tree and decorated it! Kamryn went a little crazy on the tinsel, but it was a fun activity and we had a good time listening to Christmas music and hanging out as a family. The living room looks a lot better with a cute tree now! Another thing we did over the weekend was count all the change my dad had! After counting them for what seems like forever we came up with the grand total of...$312 bucks!! We aren't quite sure what to do with it, we are thinking maybe buying an Xbox. Any ideas? All in all it was a fun weekend, and got me in the christmas mood! Christmas is on its way!
