Christmas Eve!

At the Starts! Everyone is at 5 o'clock mass and me, Emma, dad and Grandma are sitting around. Dad and Uncle Phil are playing Tiger Woods PGA wii game. Anyway, we found out this morning that our boxes with ski clothes and all of our presents that were supposed to be shipped to our hotel were shipped to Chicago. And, there is no way we will get them in time for Christmas. ): But on the bright side we will have presents to open when we get back from Utah! Emma, Mom and i are going skiing tomorrow after we visit Ty and Jacob in the morning. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
