i love sundays. today was our ward christmas
program and it was wonderful. i love
singing in my ward choir. it is one of my favorite
things. the spirit was so strong. our savior is real.
later that night we went out and looked at
christmas lights. it has been a tradition
for as long as i can remember. i love it and look
forward to it every year.

i spent my day shopping and relaxing.
i had a couple last minute christmas gifts to get
and afterwards i spent the day doing
pretty much nothing. i don't like shopping at all so
i was totally ready to relax after.
december 22, 2015
i pretty much spent my entire day cleaning.
but it was actually really great. i found so many
special and memorable things, and it felt
so good afterwards. i love having my room clean.
then later i made snowflakes with my friends.
it was such a blast.
((i was looking through all of my old cards & letters & felt so loved & blessed))

can you ever have too many cookies?
i don't think so very often, but after cooking 6
dozen sugar cookies i decided that yes you can
have too many cookies. but they turned out great
so it was okay with me. even if they took me
all morning to bake.
later that evening i went up to temple square with a
group of friends. i had such a great time.
i love temple square it is such a magical place.

((merry christmas))
the tables had turned this year. instead of me and
my brother waking my parents up. they came
into our rooms to wake us up. truthfully i
wanted to roll over and go back to bed...
christmas was absolutely wonderful. i couldn't
have asked for a better day. i spent my day
with extended family having a grand time. my cousins
and i went night sledding and it was fantastic.

chaos was in my house on christmas eve morning.
so i was really grateful that our evening turned
out a lot better. that night my family and i
spent time at home just the four of us. we played
games and just hung. i was so stoked to look
outside and see all the snow. just before bed
we opened up our christmas ornaments for the year,
our christmas pajamas and read the night before christmas.

eight degrees and dropping. it was freezing cold
when i went sledding again with some of my family.
but it was tons of fun so it was worth it.
((sledding, part two))
december 27 & 28, 2015
i spent hours on the phone with a few of my friends.
after hanging up i realized that i am blessed with
amazing friends and family. i honestly don't know what
i would do without them. i also feel so so so
grateful for the gospel. it brings me so much peace,
comfort and joy.

star wars was great, even if i don't have
any clue about the old ones... disney did a great
job with it! i really enjoyed going to it and
spending time with my crazy family. wonderful
friends, old traditions. doughnut runs and mcdonald
runs at 9:00. sign me up. and with the best
bunch of friends it makes it all the better.
i'm grateful for chris, trevor and dana.

staying up late has become a habit of mine
over break. and it's really starting to hit
me. i am soo tired. my schedule has consisted
of staying up late and sleeping in. kind of wonderful
but it's going to be a shocker getting back into
the school schedule. yikes... today i watched a
movie about horses with my family. and oh my goodness
it made me miss riding soooooooooo much.
***someone please take me riding***
i would be forever grateful.

today was seriously grand. i spent my morning
around the house relaxing and spending
time with my family. then me and my friends
headed up to temple square again. i looooove it
up there. it is one of my favorite places.
((what a great bunch of people.))
((i love the christus. it brings so much peace.))
