Christmas in the Snow!

After Jenna's wedding we finally hit the road home to Washington! We left at 5 am and didn't get home until midnight! It was a twenty one hour drive!!!!!! Oh my gosh, yah it was NOT fun. It was snowing almost the entire time, and we almost did not make it through all the passes! Luckily they opened up and we made it home safely.


Here's Chewy attempting to restart their car.


Michael and Chewy at work.


Once we finally got home Chewy got so sick. He did not get to enjoy one single day at home. He ended up getting strep throat and almost had to go to the hospital. Poor kid. He missed out on almost everything, cheesecake factory, movies, New Years...he spent most of his time in bed. We used my mom's heating pad...I think it looks pretty good on him.

Monica is the best boss in whole wide world. With the cutest kids in the whole world as well. Look how amazing she looks!!!

And here they are--Bronson and Emory. Icing some cookies on Christmas Eve.

Making funny faces with Chewy

Christmas Eve with Michael and Chewy. We joke that Michael looks like the little brother in this picture. We all got matching pajamas, it is a tradition.

It is also a tradition for some Christmas music playing. So we all played some Christmas carols on the piano and guitar.

Jenna's Reception

Jenna had the most beautiful reception. It was in the Joseph Smith building on the highest floor. Her cake was beautiful, her dress was beautiful, and it was so fun just being with friends and family.

Me and my Dad waiting for the party to start!

Jenna's Wedding

Before we made it home to Washington for Christmas we made a little stop in Utah for Jenna Dunns wedding. She is a good friend of the family and one of Michelle's best friends. We got to go to the bridal shower, sealing, and reception. Each event was so fun and she looked absolutely beautiful! Here is Michael and Michelle at my parents hotel in Salt Lake. This one of the biggest gingerbread houses I have ever seen. And people were actually eating candy off of it...disgusting!




Leaving the grandparents house to the temple. Michael and Michelle's car wouldn't start...again! Poor little boys working in the cold while we stayed nice and warm inside!


This is at Jenna's bridal shower. It was so fun seeing everyone again. Here the sisters (Michelle, Jenna, Lindsay, and ME)

Me and the Bride to be

Two of most beautiful girls in the world, and closest friends. Mallory Leale and Lindsay Evans. These girls are so hilarious and fun. I can't wait to see them again.

A WeeK Before Christmas With Nothing To Do!!!!

After fall semester ended we had almost a whole week of NOTHING!!! No, homework, tests, quizzes, finals, work, projects, presentations...it was so nice, and then kind of boring. So we decided it was time to pull out our fondue set we got at our wedding! As you can see we are REALLY excited. We decided to make cheese fondue and dip in bread and sausage! Something must have gone wrong because we only had a couple of bites and the rest went in the garbage. We thought we followed the directions, but it was chunky and just tasted weird. I will be sticking with chocolate from now on!


Getting ready to cut up some delicious cheese!


Look how good Chewy cut up the bread and meat! He is about to take the first bite...

Yah, that was pretty much our faces once we tried it. At least the bread was good!
