The last week and a half felt like a blur, I was so busy. To start off the wonderful month of December, I traveled back to Utah for work.

I spent three great days in meetings, catching up with fellow employees, and working hard. It was a lot of fun going out to dinner and seeing everyone. However, I didn't sleep well, so I started off my long and busy week off very tired. Fortunately, on Friday my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Shari were driving up to Ogden from Cedar City, so they swung by to pick me up in Provo on their way. I went up to Ogden to spend the weekend with my mom before traveling back home to Florida. Thanks to my Uncle Kevin who took care of Grandpa, so mom and I could get out on the town and go shopping.
We picked up Grandma Tolsma and had a great, but busy day shopping. I couldn't seem to find any jeans that I wanted to buy. Luckily, at the last store I found them! Now, I have a cute new pair of jeans. After our eventful day out shopping, we stopped by at this Nativity event being held at one of our Church's facilities.
It was beautiful. The people who put it together did a fabulous job. I loved seeing all the unique Nativities. Some came from diverse parts of the world. They had beautiful Christmas music playing in the background and it helped to really bring the true spirit of Christmas.
It was a quick trip, but we had some down time too. We had a make-over night, where I showed her how to style her hair and we learned some make-up tips.
Before I could leave, we had to get the tree(s) up. We had a peaceful evening decorating the tree and listening to Christmas music. Even Grandpa had a great time rockin' out.
At the end of it all, it was time to go home. However, I misread my ticket (darn red eye flight) and missed my real flight. Luck was on my side though (minus the flight change fee) - they had just enough room to still get me home on the itinerary I wanted, so I avoided a major disaster there and made it back to Florida just in time to unpack...
Then pack up again, this time for Orlando. Robert had just completed his final when we headed over to the Baseball Winter Meetings. He was invited to attend the events and meetings as part of his new job at Minor League Baseball. It was a fun event to watch all the sports announcers report on the events and trades occurring, etc.
Needless to say, Robert was in heaven and had a wonderful time attending the meetings and trade show. The only downer was that he had to drive back and forth each day and night, but I think he will say it was well worth it.
After getting back from the meetings and unpacking, we packed up again and headed back to Orlando for our annual Disney trip with the Fountain family.
We had a fun filled weekend park hopping and celebrating the season together.
Brotherly love. Austin sure loves his Mickey Bars, his favorite treat at Disney.
What could be better than a hot and fresh Turkey leg? A free hot and fresh Turkey leg. That's right we scored this Turkey leg for free. Of course, we had to gobble and act like Turkeys in front of everyone, but it paid off. Robert was happy!
Best part of the trip - strolling down Hollywood Studios streets watching the dancing lights and playing in the snow. That's right, even in FL they can make it snow. :)
We had lots of luck on this trip, we received free fast pass tickets because I was wearing a BYU hoody, got right onto the Rockin' Roller-coaster, free parking, and more.
Merry Christmas!
Phew! That was one busy week and a half. Now onto the Holiday rush. I hope you all are enjoying your Holiday season.
