Christmas EVE

We had a wonderful Christmas this is what we did on Christmas eve........ We played minute to win it where we had to bounce all the balls out of the tissue box that was strapped to our butt. We had our grandparents come over and had a nice dinner and program. We got in our warm christmas PJS and the best of all was the present my dad gave my mom on christmas eve. My mom lost her wedding ring while she was up here watching my kids when Brynlee was in the hospital and in order to get into the NICU you had to take your jewlry off and in the process she lost her wedding ring. So my dad came home from droping my grandma off on christmas eve and he was holding a box and he said 31 years ago i asked your mom to marry me on christmas eve and i want to ask her agian and he opened the box and there was a ring it. He had her wedding ring remade. It was beautiful!! That made the whole night it truly was the best present given!!

Bowling league wanna be

Well I can officially check off one thing on my "Things to do before I die list"For those of you that don't know I LOVE bowling, when I grow up I want to be one of those old ladies that has the shirt with her name on it and heads out every Thursday night to meet up with the bowling league ladies. Now you are probably asking yourself is Chantell any good...... No i am not a good bowler but I am very much obsessed with bowling. I do have my own bowling shoes and bowling ball with the fancy bag, now I am just waiting for the shirt with my name on it! Today I went on a tour at the storm bowling ball place here In Brigham. My friend was taking her girl scout troop to tour the place and she knew how much I love bowling and invited us To come. I was in heaven it was like I was a kid on a candy shop I learned so much! It was indeed very interesting!! So here are a few random facts about the Storm bowling ball factory they only make high quality balls.....

They paint the color in the letters by hand!!

Me so excited to be there
