The next day I got to go to lunch with my best and longest friend ever.
Aidan playing on my Ipod Touch
This picture cracks me up. All these boys into playing with some kind of gadget.
It has been over 4 years since I've seen my friend Brooke. I have known Brooke since we were 5 years old. She now lives in St. Louis, MO with her beautiful family. They moved there so her husband Brad could go to school. Every time I was in Utah she had already been there or hadn't gotten there yet. We would just barely miss each other. FINALLY we were both in town and able to hang out. It was so much fun to hang out and catch up on our lives. I seriously felt like we just picked right back up from where we left off. We of course went to lunch at one of our favorite places, Red Robin. Unfortunately we only got to hang out for a little bit because I had other places to be. I wish I could have hung out more. I did get to meet her darling two boys that I have never seen. They are very cute.
Here we are!! Brooke is due in 5 weeks with her third boy. Thanks for hanging out Brooke. Miss you tons.
After lunch with Brooke she dropped me off at the movie theater. There I went and saw New Moon with my sister, mother and sister-in-laws. I loved it!!
That night we met at Lara's house, my sisters, for a Chard family get together. It was a Birthday/Christmas party. So Aidan, McKenna and Stephanie got birthday presents and Christmas presents.

It was SOO much fun spending time with my family. I loved it. Seriously wish I could have stayed so much longer. I am SO blessed to have so many people in my life. Especially people I love and who love me back.
That was totally cheesy, but true.
