Wow, it's definitely been awhile....sorry. I'll catch you up. I was lucky to have Christmas off of work, so I was able to spend all of Christmas with my family, both Aaron's and mine. It's tradition to have breakfast at my parent's house and then open presents.
In the afternoon, we always go to Grandma's enchilada dinner. She is 100% Mexican and man can she cook! Everyone looks forward to her enchiladas every year because she only makes them on Christmas day. She's 85 years old and she makes everything from scratch, including the tortillas. She's incredible, but it is really hard for her to do all that work. We appreciate it very much though!
The food was fantastic and what made it even better is that I got everything I wanted for Christmas!!! My most favorite gift this year was from Aaron. I finally got my kitchen aid mixer!! I've been wanting one for about 3 years now, but we've always been too poor to buy it.

Aaron also surprised me with the watch I've been wanting for months too. It's a Nixon Vega watch in the Mirror style. Apparently that style has been discontinued. On Christmas Eve, Aaron was able to get out of work a little early and he called all over Utah to try and find this style watch. Finally he found one in a shop up in Park City. On Christmas Eve at 6 pm, he drove clear up to Park City to get this watch for me. I think that was one of the sweetest things he's ever done for me.
