Chirstmas 2010

Our Chirstmas Tree!!! Just the beginning of the Perfect Christmas of 2010!

My first Ginger Bread House! Whoopty Whoop! Spencer was a very good coach. It was good times!

Well we had quite the Chirstmas vaction this year! Right after we got to back to the best state ever, we had the traditional Tingey Progressive Dinner. It was so much fun! We missed our cute missionaries, Sid and Liz's family and Val, but we rang our bells hard for them.

We also went to a McConkie family party but McConkies are pretty awesome and we don't like to take pictures. We don't want everyone knowing our little secrets I guess. Anywho... we had dinner and went and saw the lights at The Hogle Zoo. It was fun to be with all of the kids! We miss them so much!

We had the pleasure of spending Christmas Eve with the McConkies and Chiristmas Morning with the Tingeys. Again McConkies don't want you to know our secrets. This is the traditional Tingey Pajama Chirstmas Photo.

We were able to go to a Jazz Game while in Utah! GO JAZZ! They were bums and lost but oh well. GO JAZZ!

While Spencer was playing Call of Duty with his friends from his old ward I was hanging out with my best friends! Our group is so fun and awesome.

We also did some ice fishing at Scofield Resevoir with Rachel and Tyler. It was so much fun. I was nervous about the whole drilling holes in ice while standing on the ice but it worked out ok. We caught about 12 fish. Now when I say we I mean Rachel, Tyler and Spencer. I caught one right before we left, off of Rachel's line....I think the fish felt my frustration.

On New Year's Eve we went to The Market Street Oyster Bar and tried our first oyster shots. I like them and AMAZINGLY Spencer did too. All who know him would be very impressed with his growth in West Virginia. HE EATS SALADS!!!! I know that has nothing to do with Christmas or New Years Eve but I had to add that in. My mind is still boggled.....anyways... We ate oysters and they were tasty.

We woke up the next morning to this little monster in our bed.

Yay for the traditional burning of the tree! Thanks to all of the Tingey neighbors for not calling the cops!

While we were in Utah my dear grandmother, Beth Merrill McConkie, passed away. She was 92 almost 93 years old and one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She was such a sweetheart and I miss her so much! I know she is so much happier now!

That was Christmas for us! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
