Nick and Jen Lloyd

Nick, Jonah and I spent Christmas in Utah with Nick’s family. We had a great time hanging out with everyone and spending time together before Nick leaves. We went to Nick’s grandparents’ house for a Christmas dinner the week before Christmas, which was of course traditional Swedish style including Santa Lucia. Jonah scored big time with lot’s of toys and cloths (thanks everybody).


Jonah managed to get another tooth (he has his bottom two front teeth) and has gained some mobility. He started out just doing pushups at the beginning of our three weeks in Utah and by the end he could get wherever he wanted. It’s not crawling per say, but he’s moving!




Nick and I went skiing, went to the arcade, went to the dollar movie and the last night he was there we went to “The Pie” in Salt Lake and went bowling. We tried to cram lot’s of dates into our last week together!

So far this year has not started out so great. But we are hoping that it will end better. I guess I kind of feel like I just want to get this year over with…and get Nick back and go back to living like a normal family. As normal as we can.

We went to Pioneer Village for their Candlelight Christmas with Nick’s family. We wandered around the little village, saw a live nativity, real reindeer and Jonah got to sit on an old style Santa’s lap.

Sending everyone good wishes from here in Utah! We were going to put one of these pictures on a Christmas card but it simply didn’t happen. So here ya go.

It has been VERY cold here in Moscow for the past week. Resulting in a several inches thick ice on the pond. You know you’re from the country when it gets cold and you drive the four wheeler out onto the pond! Oh Idaho…in some ways I suppose I’ve missed it.

So this year for Christmas, all I really want is my two front teeth. Seriously. I am having my fake teeth replaced because they are stained and people tell me I have stuff between my teeth all the time, and I don’t.
BUT apparently I’m not the only one that asked Santa for teeth…today my Mom noticed that Jonah has the beginnings of a tooth, bottom front right. You can’t actually see the tooth yet but there is a hole where it will soon appear…AAAAAAAH!
