A Christmas weekend!

Well, we made it to Mass! but before I explain our travel adventures, I would first like to talk about the weekend!

The weekend was pretty fun! We were supposed to be picked up by my mom on Saturday to go to her place for the weekend, as we had a flight in Salt Lake on Monday. Well, she found out that there was supposed to be lots of snow on Saturday so she came on got us Friday around 3. They brought us 2 chairs, 2 DVD holders, and our big Christmas present. We decided to wait until we got back from vacation to open that. :) After we got Matt's stuff packed up and our packed up we left. We had pizza from Little Caesar's on the way. It was delicious! When we got home mom had to go straight to work and so we did the usual night routine and then went to sleep. Saturday was pretty fun. We woke up to it snowing and it snowed most of the day. Luke, Joe, and Darin went out to shovel the snow while I did who knows what. Matt just ate cinnamon toast crunch. We all played crazy canasta and that was pretty fun. It was too long for Matt though haha. Mom, Joe, and I beat the other team, but we like to let them think that they won. LOL. Joe and I went to the mall and walked around. We ate quarter pounders and fried from McDonalds and then Joey got a blizzard with reeces (he ordered it with m&m's too, but the big slows didn't put them in there) and I got an orange julius! It was delicious! Sunday was pretty great also. We woke up to almost a foot of snow! So we were racing around trying to get to church on time. Church was great. Sadly, mom was sick so she couldn't make it. When we got back I shoveled with Joe and Luke. It was actually kind of fun! But I guess if you had to do it everyday it wouldn't be so fun anymore. Joey grew shoveling the snow. haha. I did not. and I am glad. I do not like the snow anymore. LOL. It's pretty though. A little while after we were done with that, we had a delicious ribs, mash potatoes, and green bean caserole! Look at my mom's blog for pics of that. haha. ---Joey just found out that he got the highest score on his business law final and set the curve for the class! woo go Joey!--- So anyways, after that we played hollywood rumi. It was fun. I lost. LOL. After that mom made some delicious fudge while we packed up for our travels. We later opened our individual gifts from Mom and Darin! It was really sweet of them! Joey totally loved his scripture case and I totally love my sweater!!! Thanks guys! there are some pics below. haha Monday morning we got up at 5:30 and got everything ready. We left the house by about 6:45ish maybe earlier, and got to the airport by 7:15. It was great. No line to get our tickets and check baggage. No line to go through security. It was great. Totally stress-free. We also noticed that everyone was so nice. Usually there's someone pretty moody in the security line.. I tend to take a long time to get my stuff in and out of bins. We think it must be the Christmas season! We stopped and picked up a sandwhich and chips because we'd be starving from flying all day. We flew to vegas and stayed on the plane to fly to New York. That flight was PACKED. it was kind of annoying, but it was okay. Everyone was so nice. These people had baby boy twins behind us. And behind them there was a lady with a baby boy. They were pretty quiet for the almost 4 hour flight. Once we got to New York we got off the plane and then got back on to go to Boston haha. We were surprised how warm it was here and in New Work compared to Vegas! It was almost in the 60's last night!!! It's colder today though. So it took over an hour for the last flight to take off. We were in a long line of planes that had to take off. We were like the 17th. It stunk. We hadn't even lifted off yet and my lower back was killing me and my knee was too. I think it was because we had been sitting almost all day and it needed to be stretched and moved around. It wasn't fun. We were finally lifted off and the flight went by quick. It was a LONG travel day and I was glad when we finally arrived at Joey's house with some chicken fingers and fries from Nick's Roast Beef. It was delicious. We went to bed at almost 1, and slept in til 10:30. It was great. We're having fun so far lol. Joe is going to the dentist really soon, so that is why I am rushing and probably not making any sense! haha! Merry Christmas everyone! PS don't you love our sense of bedtime fashion below?? haha JK!!!
