Let it be Christmas.

This year as always was a special Christmas. I especially enjoyed being back at home and with my family. That is my true Joy during this time.

Grandpa is my sweetheart!

The snuggies were a HIT :D

What kid gets a 12 gauge shot gun at the age of 9??? He does!

.Best of wishes to you all.

Happy New Years

What an Event!

So here it goes....

Miss Kaylen had tickets to the M0-tab Christmas concert w/DAVID ARCHULETA :D

What? I have never been to the Christmas concert before, and the great friend she is I got to pick a date and go along, fun right???

I have never had such a struggle in my LIFE to find a stupid date....rrrr! (i'm really over it BTW)

I thought, I looked on FB, through my phone, Kaylen thought...hmm! NO ONE.

I could have taken anyone, but I wanted to take someone new and fun, right?

Wednesday night comes along and I decided it had to be done. I had to ask someone (the concert was on Friday). Well my roomie Kelsey thought of a guy who I was suppose to get set up with 3 months ago and thought I should ask him. Seriously? We met once, pretty much complete strangers :/ I did know that he was a great guy and well....why not?

So, I asked him on a date :) lol

First real official time asking a boy on a date...oh yay!

I will still leave that up to the boys as much as possible though ;)

The conclusion to this story is traffic was INSANE to SLC. We literally sprinted to the doors and we were to late, they wouldn't let us in. I was the saddest little girl there :( So, off we went with our heads held high and watched it in the Tabernacle. To make it even better, we ran into our home town girl Kaitlyn Sprouse in there and they missed it too lol :) And how can you go wrong with Mo-tab Christmas music, David Archuleta, Temple lights, running into Vernal peeps around every corner and Settebello pizza. All around we had a wonderful time!

I come home and I get to see my girls Celest and Rachie.

I sure do Love them!

HELP!

This picture is cute right?

Well while I let them watch the Grinch on my lap top they tapped on some buttons

and now my computer talks to me :/

I have a little black box

that types out EVERYTHING that I do on my mac and then repeats it back to me.

If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE let me know!!!

Merry Christmas,

This weekend a couple of our friends went to this lounge called -Spark- for Ms. Alex's birthday. It's more of like a mormon lounge ha! They serve all non-alcholic drinks and it's actually pretty fun!

We were pretty impressed by our Shirley Temples

And yes...thats cotton candy :D

The Christmas Child

"There is magic in Christmas. Hearts are open to a new measure of kindness. Love speaks with increased power. Tensions are eased...

"Of all things of heaven and earth of which we bear testimony, none is so important as our witness that Jesus, the Christmas child, condescended to come to earth from the realms of His Eternal Father, here to work among men as healer and teacher, our Great Exemplar. And further, and most important, He suffered on Calvary's cross as an atoning sacrifice for all mankind.

"At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us now forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life"

Gordon B. Hinckley

Happy Holidays!!!
