Christmas Events

Christmas was a fun, busy time.  
I loved being close to family and being able to do all the fun traditions that I grew up doing!  Here are just a few pics from the holiday season! 
I went with Adam to Las Vegas to visit his Brother and his family.
 Adam and I with his niece Sammie! So cute.
 Our annual Christmas Eve Goofy PJ pictures.  I love my family.
Normal??? 
Now that is more like it! 
Mom wanted the attention on this one.  
A WHITE CHRISTMAS!  That never happens.  It wasn't too cold though... seeing that we were fine wearing our shorts and slippers. 
I love you Whitney..... Sisters and Friends Forever. 
After Christmas I headed up to SLC to hang out with Adam. :)
-Adam's Brother Brian and his wife Julie got sealed in the SLC Temple to their cute little Sammie.


I always love going to Salt Lake because I get to see and hang out with some of my USU college buddies. It was so good to get together with Kim, Whitney, Sabrina, and Melissa.  Thanks Sabrina for letting us come chill at your house.

From SLC I headed out to SAN FRANCISCO to party it up with JO and BLAIR for New Years. More to come on that!

when it SNOWS in Dixie....


...you build snowmen!

So the past 6 years of my life I have lived in areas that get a lot of snow. In both Logan and Boston, the winter months correlated with a blanket of white snow. But I think in all those years I built but one little snowman. So why build snowmen now? Well you see, it rarely snows in St. George like it did the past few days... (the last it snowed like this in Southern Utah was over 10 years ago)... So when you see the snow sprinkled on the red rock and red sand, you have to go out and play in it. The opportunity might come just once a decade.... the public schools even shut down... gotta love that you get a snow day for a few inches of snow!
So anyway back to the snowmen, I talked my little Sister Whitney into helping... so we got to work. It was great fun. My Mom then got to dressing them. Don't they look good? I thought we did a fantastic job.



This is my backyard! I'm not sure if I have ever seen it this white and snowy. So pretty.

I have also loved being home during the Christmas season... and can't wait for Christmas!
This is the night the big storm hit! I think this is as close to a white Christmas we are ever going to get.

This is my little bro Jordan and I getting in the Christmas Spirit.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
