Meet Nonac

'Twas the week before Christmas

And all through the house

Not a creature was stirring

Not even a monkey

The presents were given two weeks in advance

In hopes that Bryson would come back super fast

tyler's present wrapped up so nice...

don't worry, it was just a watch

The children watched Star Wars instead of sleeping in their beds

We all tried to forget about how much she missed the boy

this is actually my "stop taking my picture" face

Basically, here's what it all means:

Bryson is in Brazil for two weeks. In a beach house. On the beach. In Brazil. BRAZIL BEACH HOUSE. For Christmas. Where it's warm. In Brazil on the beach. He wore shorts to the airport. Lil' punk. Sigh. I'm over it. I get Europe in April. With cute little girls. When he's in school. Ha. So really, we both got/get our dream vacations and everyone is happy... and lonely.

Tiff and I had a Star Wars marathon which began with driving around Lehi looking at the fabulously decorated houses. Following which, we took many pictures. And then we got tons of blankets and fell asleep before we even finished the first movie so the whole marathon thing kinda didn't happen. Still so much fun with my little turkey cupcake.

Oh, and the funny story. Bryson (and Tiff) had surprised me at school (which I will talk about in an upcoming post) so I had to be a good girlfriend and get him something before he left for his beach house. (We're having second Christmas when he gets back) Trip to Walmart. Huge Hershey kisses in the front which couldn't be passed up. Originally went in for mistletoe. Found that stuff. Mission accomplished. Except I'd look really weird going through the checkout with only those two items so I start searching around everywhere. And then the Holiday Pringles started singing and my two presents became three. And I looked totally normal going through the checkout.

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"
