Mo Tab and stuff

We were so lucky this year and we got tickets to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas concert with guest star...DAVID ARCHULETTA! It was so good. And, I have to admit...David Archuletta is pretty cute. He's just so endearing and genuine. He did a great job, as did the choir. We had a really fun time. with my parents, dan's parents, and my sister and brother in law. Afterwards, we walked around temple square. The lights are beautiful, and the temple is exquisite. It really got me in the spirit of Christmas.

Monday was the annual Schofield family Christmas party. It was, as usual, full of food, laughter, singing, and of course, KIDS! Dan has 20 nieces and nephews, and only 4 were not in attendance. (we missed you Matt & Dano) It was a blast as usual. We had a cute little program complete with nativity. Watching the kids open their presents was so cute. The little girls all got pjs and pillow pets...which were a huge hit, and the little boys all got BB guns. They were ecstatic!

After the party, for some reason, the boys always have a contest to see who can touch the fan in the family room. It always starts with some one trying to convince Dan's brother Peter to try. He is probably the worst jumper of the bunch, (no offense, pete) which is why they always want him to do it. Then they all take turns running from the hall into the family room to see if they can touch the fan. It is absolutely hilarious. Sadly, my camera is not super great. So i couldn't capture everyone in the air...and some people not at all. But here is the majority...

Dan & Jake

Peter & Tom

Brad & Josh

And, yesterday, we woke up to this winter wonderland outside. I'm pretty excited to have snow for Christmas. It's just not the same without it. We got about a foot. Sadly, it was rainy today, so it is sort of mushy now.

PS) Christmas is just around the corner...today is Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve. Haha, remember when you used to do that in elementary school? ...ok, who am I kidding? I still do it. (obviously)_

Tis the season

I can't believe it's already December 13th. Christmas is in 12 days. WHAT? When did this happen? I am almost ready for Christmas, which is good, but why does it always sneak up on me? I remember being a kid and Christmas couldn't come soon enough. December dragged on an on, and it seemed to last for months. Now, it's exactly the opposite. Why does that happen when we get older?

Well, here's what we've been up to since we talked last. We went to Carl Bloch's exibit "The Master's Hand" with my parents, sister, brother-in-law and nephew. It was really cool. The exibit was at BYU, and was really interesting. Here are a few of my favorites of his work. Also, Jack should probably be in a Cold Stone commercial.

The sucker was supposed to keep him quiet, but only lasted for 3 minutes.

We went to A Christmas Carol at Hale Center Theatre. They did a really good job and I was impressed. Definitely a good reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

We rocked out at Trans Siberian Orchestra at Energy Solutions Arena. It was pretty cool. They sure do know how to rock out to Christmas tunes. They put on a great show. We had a fun time.

Also, just an FYI, you will be getting a holiday card from us this year, just not before Christmas. Because it was so sneaky this year, I totally forgot about them until about 5 min ago. So, you'll get a new year's car. :) Yay. But I still want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!!

Thanks for the comments on the last post. Chloe felt really loved. Keep 'em comin!!

*leave me your address so i can send a card your way.

Birthday Girl

So today I woke up and Danny said, "Car, do you know what today is?" I thought for a minute and couldn't think of anything special, so I hesitantly said, "um, Saturday?" And he said, "yes, but it's also Chloe's birthday!" I can't believe it almost slipped my mind! Our little puppy is 2 years old today! And to celebrate, we got her a new toy - without stuffing so she can't rip it apart and drag it accross the house. She loves it!!

There you have it, I am officially "one of those people" I just blogged about my dog. What have I become? :)

PS) Don't forget to comment, i've been lacking in those lately and it makes me feel lonely. :)
