Christmas Part II

After spending a week in Orem, we headed up to Pocatello on Christmas Eve to spend Christmas at Annette's parents home.


(Sellers Family Christmas Tree)

It was tons of fun as you can see in the pictures. That night we had a great Christmas dinner at her sister Laura's home, due to Annette's mom still recovering from her recent surgery and not wanting to add extra stress.

Christmas morning was filled with the usual gift opening and the what not. Tessa got supremely spoiled but was very cute in the process.

A few days later Annette and her first friends held their first annual (hopefully) Christmas party. The party was great! The turn out was a little low, but hopefully next year with better advertising more people will be able to make it. New years was Ok. As tradition in the Sellers family they all hook up with the Merzlocks (Laura's family-in-law) for games and junk food all night long. News Years Day, I had to head home to Logan to get ready for the coming semester, leaving Annette in Pocatello. She stayed with Laura to give her mom a break. She stayed busy helping her friend Sara plan her wedding, and playing games with her niece and nephew, and every thing else. Tessa had lots of fun while I was gone she learned about dress up, and now its one of her favorite things to do.

I went back to Poky the next weekend to pick them up. We all got home safely but unfortunately brought home a little viral friend that took a little while to kick out.

I love the stroller! I bet Tessa pushes that around all the time. Good practice for the new little baby. Poky looks fun! Even though we missed you in Orem.

Annette! Do you remember me? Lisa Syndergaard from high school? Well, I just found you through Kristina's blog and had to say hi! Congrats on your cute little family (and the new one on the way!). Kids are lots of fun!
