So I haven't posted in a while because we've been playing and having fun with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. I know that we were just in Utah visiting them, but my parents got a really good deal on airfare and couldn't pass up the chance to come see us. It was so nice to have them here, it's really sad that we live so far away and don't get to see them as much as we'd like.Mostly we just hung out together at the house, talked, and played with Brianna. My parents watched Bri one night and let Justin and I go on a date night. It was so fun and very much appreciated. We first went on a little four wheeler ride where I got to try out my new four wheeler that Justin won for me. And then we went to the Turtle Club and had prime rib and their sinfully delicious cheesecake - Yum-O!!! It was kind of weird though not having Bri with us, we almost didn't know what to talk about without her. But we had a really good time stuffing our faces until we both thought we were going to pop.
Later in the week we drove down to see Denali National Park, it was cloudy so we couldn't see Mt. McKinley which was a bummer, but it still was a nice and pretty drive. We also went to the Santa Claus House and took Bri's picture with Santa, bought some cute Christmas ornaments and checked out the reindeer. Bri became one of the tourist attractions as we were leaving, a bus load of Asian tourists came in as we here heading out and they all started snapping pictures of Brianna. At first I was a little annoyed having strangers taking pictures of my little girl, but after talking it over with my mom, we decided if we were in a different country and there was a cute little kid we would probably take a picture of them too. So I guess I should be flattered that our girl is cute enough that strangers want a photo of her.
All in all we had a really nice visit with grandma and grandpa. They of course spoiled Bri again - which she truly enjoyed! :) Although we're having a little power struggle with her wanting so much attention, but we wouldn't change her fun grandparents for the world - we LOVE them! It was really sad to see them go because we know we won't see any more family for awhile. :(

It must be really hard with how far away you are.

so wait a minute, why isn't the Santa picture a family picture? I think we would have all loved to see you and Justin in there with Santa and Mrs. Claus :).
the spoiling never stops... we just came back from a weekend and grandma and grandpa's and Max is a monster because of it! Connor got a bit more mouthy with me while we were there but is old enough to know the jig is up and it has to stop! :) I think it is the grandparents job to do that. I don't know how it would be if they lived close enough to do that once or twice a week though... maybe it is different when they are around all the time?
