Forsberg New Year

Well in hopes of keeping up with my blogging trend I am blogging (really soon) about the Forsberg New Year. As many of you know Maren is prego with baby #2 (which is the work title for the baby) so she didn't feel comfortable driving anywhere for Christmas. Well we all understood so we volunteered to come to them instead of making them come to us. Brent and I got there on Tuesday night, we were planning to go to the tri-cities temple but with out Utah ignorance we though there would be a session every hour or something and there... wasn't. So basically we missed the time by a lot so we ended up in Pullman a few hours earlier than expected.

Well, lets face it the main attraction was Braden, so when we got there it was mid nap. When he work up he ran downstairs took one look at us and ran away. He didn't warm to us to quickly but as soon we gave him his present he warmed to BRENT right away... notice that only Brent part. He is definitely a boys boy.

Braden continued to be adorable for the next two days while Maren took us on the ten minute tour of the town and we got Brent addicted to Ticket to Ride (thanks Maren I am not sure we needed another addiction to ANOTHER GAME, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WII). When the rest of the family arrived (after a terrible drive through a snow storm, presents were finally passed out!

Braden kept grabbing ever wrapped item and would start to rip it open until we told him who to give it to. Most of the presents were for him but it was so cute watching him run around handing out the Present. Maren and Blake are in for a surprise next year because Braden definitely understand who Santa is now.

We got Mom and dad what they wanted but opened nothing ourselves since we opened the wii in Boise and that was basically the ultimate present. For the rest of the week we did a lot of relaxing. The movie that we went to was Sherlock Holmes. It was a good thriller and in true Holmes fashion only explained all the tricks after you were completely convinced.

One of the highlights of the weekend was sitting in the hot tub at the hotel and claiming we wouldn't leave until we had a name for Baby #2... well we failed and got out. I swear it isn't our fault that Baby #2 is being so difficult. Frankly this baby is becoming a little bit particular and Blake and Maren will probably have their hands full in a little under a month.

It was a really relaxing weekend. Nothing amazing happened and I didn't work out but I am so glad that we got some time to unwind with the family. Plus Blair had a big announcement, he officially got his mission call to

TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA!!!!

I can't be more proud of my little brother! He is about to embark on a great great experience and will have such a great time with the opportunity to serve and love the people of Florida! It was a good Christmas and it absolutely sucked to have to rejoin the working world! YIKES WISH ME LUCK!!!!
