::Seeing Santa::

We took Bryson to see Santa at South Towne mall on Saturday afternoon. He seemed to like it but didn't really say much about it. I hope he had a good time. We weren't able to get a picture with him and Santa on our camera b/c they have policies against that, but I will try to get the picture they took scanned in and uploaded but for now here is a picture of him standing in line!

Merry Christmas to all and FYI the mall is already out of control busy so good luck with your Christmas shopping.

::The Jazz Game::

For Jeremy's birthday Bryson and I took him to the Jazz game on Saturday vs. the New Jersey Nets. We had a good time there even though the Jazz pretty much sucked it up and lost it was still a fun time. This is a small tradition that I have done every year for Jeremy since we have been together. He is a HUGE Jazz fan and I love that every year we have this small Sutherland tradition to look forward to on or near November 27!

We are crazy

So much fun at the game!

::My favorite day of the year::

I love love love black friday. Now I know some of you are reading this and thinking that I am a total nut but let me tell you I have scored some major deals by waking up at 3 am to fight the crowds.

This year though I am sad to say I had to work at 5 am and literally fight the crowds as an employee. It was awful but fun all at the same time. I was SO sad not to get to go shopping with my mom and sister but don't worry I made a list of stuff for them to get me and they didn't let me down!

On a different note:

Since we had such a relaxing Thanksgiving b/c it was Jeremy's birthday I ended up getting all of my inside Christmas decorating up. I have pictures and I will post them later but I loved having our own home to decorate.

Jeremy and I have been together for about 6 years now and every year his mom has given me a nutcracker so that I can have a collection like her's and I have NEVER been able to display them b/c I never had anywhere to display them. Well let me tell you this year they are out in full force and I love it.

Also, I have to share this with you all (and Jeremy thinks I am totally nuts) but we have 2, yes 2 full sized Christmas trees up at our house. One is a huge green one that we will put our presents under and the other one is a medium sized white one that I have a Chirstmas village under. The village is what my mom has given me to put together and that is my favorite part about Christmas is putting up the White Christmas tree with the villiage.

Well, I hope you all had a wonderful "Black Friday"

::Happy Birthday Jeremy::

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY!!

Today is Jeremy's 29th birthday and to have to celebrate his birthday on Thanksgiving pretty much sucked for him because he hates, yes I said hates, Thanksgiving. But I told him today was his day first and Thanksgiving second and we would do what ever he wanted to do, so he opened presents and then layed on the couch all day until it was time to go to his mom's to eat dinner!! So I just wanted to take a sec and tell him how much I love him and respect him, to tell him how great of a husband and father he is and I couldn't imagine my life with out him in it!

So here's to you today Jerm's hope it was everything you wanted it to be!

::12-0 ... BCS ... Sugar Bowl::

Gotta love the Utes baby. This was the BEST game of the whole season (and yes I have been to every home game including the camp out for these coveted tickets.)

I was so stressed out that our wonderful Utes were going to have a repeat of the last 2 years, but our boys pulled it off and are taking us to the Sugar Bowl (not fully decided but we are pretty positive.)

Jeremy, Josh, Mikey, and I all attended this game and had a great time. It was so much fun to be there amoung the true Ute fans. Even if they don't show up for any games except this one, this is the one they needed to be at.

This picture to the right is how the game started out. Utah vs. BYU on the field before the first kick off. This is how serious this brawl is to everyone including the players.

This picture to the left is of most of the people that rushed the field after the game. I stole this pic from my cousin b/c Jeremy and I were down on the field and I forgot my camera. It was awesome to be down there amoung the players and to watch Brian Johnson get our trophy for Mountain West Conference. What a game this was to be at. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Hope if you didn't attend the game that you at least watched it somewhere.

GO UTES

::Twilight::

LOVED LOVED LOVED IT. I went into this movie very skeptical because I thought the trailors and the previews looked so dumb and didn't even go with the book at all, but boy was I wrong. It was so good and I thought things went pretty well with the book. I would totally see this movie again and it made me want to read the book all over again!

Every one needs to go watch this movie you will love it I know it.

::Go Utes::
