Some December Pics

Busy December

For us as I am sure for everyone December flew by without us even realizing it! We had three big celebrations this month. We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary, Dane's birthday and Christmas! On the 19th we headed to Vegas to spend the holidays with Dane's family. I have to admit it was really nice to wave goodbye to the cold weather even if it was for only a week :) Friday was our anniversary so we went to see the 2nd National Treasure (way good, if you haven't seen it yet) and spent the night at a hotel. Funny thing about it is it ended up being the same hotel the BYU football team was staying in for the Bowl game they were playing in on Saturday. We even were on the same floor as them :) We were able to meet Bronco Mendenhall and get his autograph - amazingly enough he is a REALLY quiet talker, all I thought to myself was how in the world can you couch football and speak so softly :) My experience from watching Friday Night Lights has taught me all football couches yell. Monday was Dane's birthday, he opened presents, had a delicious turkey dinner and got to blow out all his candles. Later that night we headed to the strip and watched the water show at the Bellagio, it was to Christmas songs - I didn't know they did that until that night. We were a little hungry after that and we had to make a special trip to In and Out for Bones dad so we finished our night with a good fattening snack :) Christmas was exciting and relaxing. Dane was lucky enough to get his big Christmas present in October (USU season basketball tickets) and Dane got me a really cool picture that is 1/200 and signed by the photographer! We drove home from Vegas on the 26th and got a day or two to relax until back to work. Other exciting news that happened this week - Dane got another pilot rating. He got his CFII (Certified Flight Instrument Instructor) he can now teach students for their instrument rating. Fun Stuff!!
