Almost a disaster

Last weekened we took the kids downtown to stay at Shilo Inn and let them swim. Well we start checking in and Jason and the boys go to check out the glass elevator. And of course it's broken . So Jason is a little irritated that sucks .......whatever. Then as we are heading to our room we ask which way the pool is and they inform us that the pools are not working either. But we can go across to the Hilton to use their pool. So I'm not thrilled by the idea of walking back in the cold with wet hair but, I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and not have Jason anymore upset that his big surprise for the kids has fallen apart. So, we got to the room and it's not so good the t.v. is like 16 inches and Jason is not happy . So long story short The Shilo Inn said screw you ! So we reserved a room at the Hilton and then went to check in at the wrong Hilton ( there are 2 hiltons down town ) an hour an half later we finally arrived and it was so worth all the drama . We had a great time and I have to say it was one of the best hotels I have stayed at.

Chillin in our room !

Jumping on the beds totally allowed when we are staying at hotels.

Having fun in the pool . We had it all to ourselves for awile !

The boys thought room service was the coolest thing ever . Yummy !

OMG ! December went by so fast. I didn't get into the Christmas spirit like I usually do. I think that part of the reason is my kids are getting to that age where a little of the magic is lost . I'm so not ready for that .. I wish they were still toddlers( my favorite age ) easily amused and bewildered by everything. I wonder some times if I'm going to look back and wish they were 9 and 7 . They are at a tough age constantly crazy, wrestling , rolling their eyes at me. Becoming independent and not needing Mom so much. Will I miss this to ..
Anyway it was a great Christmas they both received Nintendo DS and Cole got a ripstick I hope we don't regret that. They are little more dangerous than I realized.

New Years was awesome we spent it with the best of friends and I was so glad they wanted to ring in their New year with us ! And so grateful that we have been blessed with awesome friends ! We did the usual dinner, played games, danced and of course lots of laughs ! The next day we went Park City with Phil and Tiffany. It was so great to get away from our lives for a minute and just chill. Surprisingly the best part of the trip for me was swimming not sure why .Maybe it was all the hot Europeans (I'm assuming they were Europeans ) running around in their speedo's with all their fur exposed ! YUCK !!!!!!! Anyway pictures of Park city later Tiff was our photographer this year. Hopefully I'll get them and post at a later date ! Ok I have to go it's time for me to play the Wii!
