Who Wears Short Shorts??

Kim, Brenn, and Rich came into town for the holidays, so we all decided to get together last night. Needless to say, it lasted till the early hours of the morning, 3 am, and the guys got a little crazy. We had a fun time watching old high school videos courtesy of Jason, singing, and laughing. 

Christmas Funtivities

Gotta Love the Holiday Gifts!!

We had such an awesome Christmas. We were able to spend lots of time with each of our families. We were able to talk to Dan in Denmark for a while and he seems to be doing great. He is out of the office and loving being out in the field again.
Instead of telling you every last detail of our Christmas holiday, you can just watch the slideshow. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Twilight Before Christmas

Warning: This may only be funny if you have seen TWILIGHT :)

We had our annual gingerbread house making contest. Well, it's not really a contest, but a few of us think it is :) Spencer and I are never as creative as my siblings, but that's ok.  It was fun as always. We all ate a lot of candy and then Mom pulled out the homemade pies!! So yummy!! She even gave me my own pumpkin pie!! Thanks Mom and Dad, you are the best!!

Twilight #3

Last week I asked Spencer if he would go out on a date with me on Friday night. I told him I was going to plan the whole thing. First we went to Paradise Bakery for dinner (Spencer stopped by Chipotle and met me in Paradise), then we went to Dave's b-ball game against West, which was such an awesome game- except for the outcome :( Dave played awesome though. Then we went to see the lights on temple square and then went to Twilight at the Gateway!! Spencer actually really liked it. I was surprised, but I'm not complaining. I think it was the best the 2nd time around. Needless to say, we had a really fun night together.

Gobble Til You Wobble

Well, another Thanksgiving has come and gone. We ate our Thanksgiving dinner with the Richins and it was delicious. I attempted my mom's infamous rainbow jello (which takes forever) and it actually turned out. I was pretty proud of myself!! That evening we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Egan's and Morgan's for desserts. It was fun to be able to see everyone. I am so glad our grandparents live so close. That night we stayed up playing ping pong and Scattergories with Annie, Josh, and Marsha.

Black Friday morning rolled around a little to quickly, but I was so excited it didn't matter. Em and I got up early and went to Taipan, Rodworks, and Target. We got some pretty good deals. Then we went to the Gateway with Mom, Lin, and Brett. Mom gave all the girls our pre-christmas gift, the stable animals for our Nativity!! We all went our different ways to shop for a bit and then all met up to go to Twilight #2. I actually loved it the second time!! I now want to take Spencer to it for my third time. I think I enjoyed it more because I wasn't constantly comparing it to the book the whole time. I could have watched it again right after it was over!!

When I got home from shopping Spencer had put up all the Christmas lights and he did an awesome job. Saturday he went up to Pine with Ryan and Karter and cut down our perfect, huge Christmas tree. I love it! We spent the night listening to Christmas music, decorating the tree and the rest of the house. We are officially ready for Christmas! Thanks for all you hard work Spencer.
