December from my phone





Funny Story- My Mom sent me a Halloween box with treats and decorations (Because my Mom is the BEST) In the box was a black and an orange light bulb so we put the orange light out on our porch and our landlords, Tim and Rebecca, kept telling us it looked like the Orange-light district...

Then for Christmas we asked them if we could hang Christmas lights on our house (I've NEVER had Christmas lights on my house before because my Dad=Scrooge) and they said YES!! Tim even said that if we provided the lights that he would hang them. (Tim and Rebecca have 4 sons so sometimes they spoil us like pretend daughters) Then as he was hanging the lights he was teasing us that we better not put a red light on our porch because then it would be the red-light district... Ha ha.

When we got home that night he had installed a GREEN light bulb on our porch!

Isn't he the sweetest, funniest landlord ever? Cute. Now it looks like Alien Christmas.





Bryan took me to the Clark Planetarium to watch the U2 laser light show. And then we walked on Mars.





Lights at Temple Square. Perfect.





This is Charlie the Christmas tree. It is the cutest, most precious little tree I've ever see. It even has little baby ornaments and a mini string of lights. I can't even describe how happy this tree makes me. Santa knew I really needed a tree this year.

I love it. And I love Santa.

Thanksgiving in Dixie


We went to the park...


We Snuggled.


We had a fire in the fire pit.











We took family pictures!




It was too much fun being together. And despite what I like to call "The Entertainment Center Crises of 2011" (ask mom about that one...) we loved:




watching movies on the new big screen


playing at the park


eating around one GIANT table


roasting marshmallows


swimming at the rec center


wrangling 4 scream-y grand kids (or going to my room and reading with the door locked... Hey, they're not my kids)


and going to the movies.




I love Thanksgiving. It is by FAR my favorite holiday. Family, food and turkey coma, what else do you need?

Don't Tell Brigham...







I went to a U of U football game... in the snow.


2 things I profess to hate. Oops. I even wore red pants and wrapped up in a Utes blanket...





I'm not sure what else to say. It was fun.






My blood still bleeds Blue.
