After a pretty tough semester, Christmas break was full of much needed relaxation. I finished up finals, did some snowboarding with Jess, and packed up enough clothes for a week in Las Vegas and a week in Brain Head (completely different climates) then went home and did absolutely nothing productive. It was beautiful.
I love the way my mom decorates for Christmas - the tree is always beautiful, the house smells delicious, and the whole place makes me feel so warm and happy. Here are some pictures of our Christmas Eve dinner I stole from Abby because I was still camera-less (thanks!).
See what I mean about the beautiful tree?
The place-cards were my mom's famous sugar cookies.
The dinner was followed by way too much dessert, a live version of the nativity story directed by Danica and Matthew and starring all the other little kids, and spending much appreciated time with family. Christmas morning brought fun gifts, but more importantly everyone was home and happy to be together. That feeling is one of my favorite parts of Christmas.
For three years now my family has enjoyed spending the week after Christmas in Brian Head. We ski/snowboard, eat at delicious steakhouses, play tons of games, and enjoy the time together. This year we threw some snowmobiling into the mix. It was a blast.
My first time on a snowmobile...I might have got it stuck in a few feet of powder within the first couple seconds. {but just maybe}
The whole gang. I know all of the drivers loved it, but I think the little kids got a little cold riding in the back.
Me and Dani on a very long lift ride.

Dani, Drew, my dad, and I on top of some of our favorite runs. We had great powder and beautiful weather. It was some of the best boarding I have done.
Danica, Matthew, and my dad.
Since I was the one taking the pictures there aren't any of me, but I took a shot of my best friend on the mountain - my board. Isn't it pretty?
