heres some other pics.. I posted that other blog way too fast! ha ha

Ok, so all this blogging stuff is still so new to me and I don't really understand it but I'm going to try my best! ha ha! This past week has been so much fun! On Wednesday I had my last final and then packed up all my stuff and headed for home! On Thursday I ran errands with Kaylyn and for school and then we went to visit her mom in Manti so that we could see the place she now works at. While we were there we visited some of the little shops on main street and I decided that Manti is such a wonderful place! I reallly like it there! When we got home my aunt Ej was at my house!! So, my Mom, Ej, Kaylyn and I all went out for pizza and had a girls night! It was so much fun laughing at all the stories my Mom and Ej told us from back in the day! Then on Friday I got to spend time with my Dad, Mom and Ej again! My Dad and I put new tires on the suburban and then headed up north for some Christmas shopping! Then I met up with Whitney and Kaylyn and we headed for Temple square to see the lights and find all our friends that we were meeting there! I haven't been to the temple in the longest time to see that lights! I was so excited, we took so many pictures while we were there and had so much fun! Ej met us there as well and then we all went to Crown Burger and ate!

Kaylyn, Tab and I then went and stayed at Ej's Hotel with her and it was so much fun! We woke up to Snow on Saturday morning and it made my day! I love snow so much and it sucks that we haven't really had any this year! Whats Christmas time without snow? ha ha..

On Saturday Kaylyn, Tab and I all went to Aubree's house! Her husband was shopping up north and none of her family was home so it was just like the old times! I miss those days so much! Growing up and getting married just isn't the cool thing to do these days! Well maybe for some people, but I'm having fun right now and I love where I'm at in my life! Anyway.. we watched Harry and the Henderson's on Aubree's parents new 60 in tv and all fell asleep.. ha ha! Then we got ready and went to Ft Green for Laney's wedding reception! It was very beautiful, Might I add! I loved her colors!

On Sunday Kaylyn and I made it to sacrament a little late! But we heard Zach Morin's homecoming talk which was great! After him a man spoke (I feel really bad cause I don't know who it was, but do you blame me? I haven't been to my home ward a lot in a long time!) He read us a story about a man that owned a service station and he didn't really celebrate Christmas. He never said that he hated Christmas but he just didn't see the point since his wife had passed away. Well throughout the day of Christmas eve all of these things happened and he helped out all these people just to be nice. He gave a stranger that was dressed in raggy clothes food and the stranger dissapeared. He gave a man a car to drive so that he could get to the hospital because the mans car was broken down. He then fixed this man's car and put new tires on it that he wasn't going to be using. A cop got shot and he pressured the wound all up with duct tape! (I loved that part!) And he gave a kid that needed a job because he had lost his other job and he had a wife and a kid to take care of. After all this stuff happened the stranger returned and he asked the man why he didn't celebrate Christmas.. The man told him and then the stranger told him, but you have celebrated the spirit of Christmas. Giving! The stranger then went to leave and his raggidy old clothes turned into a white robe and the man said thank you lord or something like that. I can't remember the story exactly but it was something like that! But it was a really good story and it really touched me! I love Christmas time so much! It really is the best time of the year! I love the whole spirit of Christmas and getting together with all my family and just enjoying eachother's company! I love my family more than anything in the whole world!

So after church, Kaylyn and I got on a kick to head to Fillmore because it was Ej's birthday! They were having a party so we called Maverick and told him to stall so we could make it for Cake and Ice Cream and Presents! So he told him mom that he was going to the store to get the ice cream and he was there for like 25 min! So when we finally got there we hid and walked in when Ej was in the room! She was so excited that we came down! I love going down there! It's my favorite place besides, Fairview!

After dinner we all decided to decorate the tree since it hadn't been done yet! So after many hours of fixing lights and putting like 5 sets on the 10 ft tree we started the decorating part! Might I add that I put all the lights on the tree!! ha ha... It looked amazing though! After the lights I helped Ej decorate the piano room and the front entrance while Kaylyn, Mav and Chyann decorated the tree with the little cowboy hats, sheriff badges, balls and the rope! It was the cutest western Christmas Tree ever! We all took pictures afterwards!
