Sorry for the blogging hiatus…things were just busy over the break. Plus I was waiting to do a post about Christmas til after I got a picture from RaeAnn ( RaeAnn:“You look like a real Christmas girl” Paul: “Don’t I look like a Christmas boy?”), which I forgot to ever ask her for….so here we are :) Anyway, Christmas break was awesome.
First week: Ashley and Nolan came to Boise for a little over a day, so we got to play with them a little bit. Mostly I spent the week holding Jenna and cooking…both favorite pass times. Christmas Eve and Day were super fun. We went to The Cheesecake Factory (Dad, RaeAnn, Paul, Jenna, and I), which is always way yummy!! Then we went to RaeAnn and Paul’s for the traditional Christmas story reading and PJ present giving :) Then we watched Scrooged (Never heard of it? Most people probably haven’t). If you want to see my absolute favorite part, here’s a short clip:
Christmas day we got up early (9) to open up presents. I was even more spoiled than normal this year!! Ha ha. I got a crock pot, 7 books, a stuffed dog (name: to be decided), boots, some winter clothes, new jeans (sort of…it’s a long story), a cook book, and some unmentionables…. :)
Second Week: Went to the bookstore with Shelby, a coworker from Blue Sky (where I spent my gift card from Kelsey and added two more books to the Christmas count), went to breakfast with some girlfriends from high school, Tori and Elly, went to New Moon and Panda Express with Shelby and Stacie, played a lot of Super Mario with Ashley on the wii, rang in the New Year with a rousing game of Hoopla, played Buzz Word with my Aunt Mae, Dad, Ashley, Nolan, and Grandma Heaps, and went to J. Bear’s baby blessing—which was awesome, amazing…precious…hahaha just kidding Razzor. I also had a lot of fun playing with Gracie (we put make up on in Grandpa’s bathroom) and Thomas (tickling, tickling, and more tickling). I sure love all my nieces and nephews- I wish I could’ve seen then all over the break, but it was such a blessing to be with family for two weeks. When I got back to BYU on Sunday I definitely felt homesick and sad that it’ll be at least 3 months before I see most of my family again. One lesson that was reaffirmed over the holidays? Families are the best.

oh wow. other people have no idea how much you love seeing Bill Murray fall. Thanks for all of your help this break! You made our Christmas so great. J. Bear misses you!!
Phew, I am glad that my abusive language didn't make the blog post. I am sorry that Mario Kart, and the wii in general make the crazy come out in me. I miss you too, break was too short.
