Christmas Break

After spending a week back at school, I miss being home already. I had so much fun this Christmas with my friends and family. I am so blessed to have such loving people in my life. Thanks to everyone for making the season so special!

Every year on Christmas Eve the "pajama elf" visits and brings us all new PJs. This year Danica and I matched while Drew and Matt tried to blend in.



Christmas morning was great. Our family opened the presents from Santa and from each other, and then James, Abby, Cyndi, Reese and their babies came for breakfast, which was delicious. After breakfast Sarah, Rob and their kids came over and we opened the cousin presents. Then we had a lot of fun playing with all the new toys and just enjoying the privilege of spending time together.

The Sunday after Christmas was my friend Amy's birthday...the big 2-0! Kristi, Amy, and I celebrated by eating at Cheesecake Factory and watching Mamma Mia...and a few episodes of John and Kate Plus 8. haha I'm so glad i got to spend time with these fun girls.


The second week of break my family got to spend some more time together skiing and snowboarding in Brianhead. I loved spending time with my family and boarding with my brother. I'm so impressed with how good Danica is getting at skiing. She and my dad had fun ripping down all of the black dimonds while Drew and I worked on the medium courses.

My mom had a little trouble with the camera pretty much every time she tried to get a picture of me on the mountain so this one isn't very exciting but it proves that I was there. haha
