We had such a fun holiday season in good old IDAHO!On Christmas Eve we went to the ever famous Beck Bingo. Everybody eats delicious food catches up with all of the Becks (there are LOTS of them...:)) and everyone wins 2 prizes while playing Christmas Bingo. Jared had the opportunity of being the "bingo caller" this year, he did a great job. Jared's parents got some super cool disco-ball headbands...I got a really cute picture frame and some much needed hand towels. (As you'll notice, Jared had a little TOO much fun growing out his facial hair on his break from the strict BYU grooming
standards.) Beck Bingo was so much fun, I am so blessed to be married into such a fun, festive family!
On Christmas Eve we played indoor soccer in the church gym with my whole family....a new tradition that we all LOVED, the adults and the kids. In the evening we had a big dinner all together. It was a delicious steak and shrimp feast, and for dessert a yummy chocolate fountain with so many things to dip in it, I couldn't keep up! The best part of the night was when my family went around the circle and told our favorite things about each other. It turned into such a fun, memorable night I will never forget! Jared and I opened our Christmas Eve p.j.'s and went to bed so Santa could come!! It was so great being with little kids (my neice and nephews) for Christmas morning again. They were running around screaming and looking at each other's presents. 
Jared got me the best present of all: a new sewing machine!! I can't wait to learn how to use it now :)Christmas day we went to the Jones family party which was also full of food and fun. Deb made everyone a really special book about the Jones Reunion that we just LOVE!
We really treasured being home and wanted to stay forever. We also loved seeing most of our friends from high school and spending time with them...it's nice being able to just pick up right where we left off, we LOVE you guys!!
We wasted no time in having more FUN. We went with Trae and Melissa to the Webb's house in Ogden canyon. We played games, watched movies, lounged around and just got to relax. We spent the night there during a CRAZY storm (it sounded like the house was going to blow down)....when we woke up it was SOO snowy outside! We got on our snow stuff and went jumpin'! The snow was up to our belly's! It was a nice relaxing weekend before heading back to the stress of school and work...only 11 more months until next Christmas! :) I hope your holiday was as wonderful as ours!

I too loved visiting with you. I think my favorite was seeing that we haven't lost our "silent talking" with our eyes! That was awesome:) We'll have to stay in good touch over the phone and blogs for the next few months til we can see eachother again.
