It's the Best Time of the Year

On my way home 

Becca drove me to the airport. The only sad part of winter break was leaving this girl for three weeks :( Becca and I went to lunch at Zuppas. It was my first time ever eating there. It was pretty delicious!! At the airport there was a gazillion missionary homecomings. Of course, Becca and I acted as if we knew them. We got a few weird looks, but it was worth it!!

We bought each other 50¢ parting gifts. When we fill these up with change... we will go to the gas station and treat ourselves to something that's really cheap :)



Reunited <3

It was so nice to be home! I never knew someone could miss their bed so much. The only down part is I had to leave my poor car in freezing utah! The weather hasn't been anything but nice. December weather is 80.. I can take that.

The first day being home I was stranded at home, because my parents worked! Luckily Emalee Banry came to save me and we got to spend the day together. We went to Chayse's soccer game, helped organize candle orders and went to chillys. 

Anyone that knows Emalee and my friendship would know that when we are in the car together...we get crazy. Everyone that drove by heard the most beautiful duet ever known to man :)

Lauren invited me to a Christmas party! There was yummy food, but we did not know a single soul. Instead of trying to make new friends we decided to laugh at her hilarious dad!! 

Miss Madi is SO big! She loves school! She tells her mom that she doesn't like me going to college and thinks I should stay at home and have my mommy and daddy drive me to college every day. She is the cutest :)

Sunday's Best

This was my first Sunday back at my home ward! It was nice to sit with my family. I never realized how much I missed that! Also, it felt a little weird to hang with the old folks the whole time. I still feel like I should be going to Young Womens! 

~Merry Christmas~

This year we went to St. George. It was great to have the whole family together. This Christmas was very small. I think this way is better, because we focused on being a family and enjoying our time together. Which Christmas should be about!! We all enjoyed ourselves. Brian, Ashley, Ryan and I all got addicted to Mario Brothers. My family is the best. 

Also on Christmas Ryan got the best gift! He received the priesthood. We all went to his ward to support him. It was great to see the change in him. So proud of the huge steps he is making!

Great another Brother in law that can pick on me... OH JOY :)

 Brian tried turning on some Christmas tunes and we got a remix station! It turned into a dance party and it was definitely one to remember!!

The day after Christmas we had to go to the airport to pick up NY mami, my cousin Mat and Gregory. I hadn't seen them in YEARS! It was really nice to see them again and hangout with them for a couple of days. 

Christmas always makes me thankful for all that I have. I have lucked out with a fantastic big family, great friends, nice things, the gospel and the list goes on.
