CHRISTMAS 2016

 It's the most wonderful day of the year!! My absolute favorite tradition... the Christmas snowman! If you're unaware of the tradition, every year the neighborhood gets together, drives up to Mt. Charleston (or wherever the closest snow is), gets a truck full of snowman supplies, take a billion pictures, sled, etc. then bring it back down and build a snowman in the middle of the road. Also kind funny keeping the tradition alive, last year Han had just gotten her wisdom teeth out when we built our snowman. This year it was my turn so please excuse my chubby cheeks in all these haha!
Also, I put together the funnest little vid of all the festivities that have been going on the past few weeks to be found at the bottom of this post.
In case you feel like reminiscing with me...
rollin' up to da club
 
 ask me how it feels to have models for best friends...
fave freshman duo
 
 
 
 
 
 also part of the tradition... sitting in the car after being out there for 45 minutes and getting all the pics we needed.
 even more of a tradition... Bishop Jim treating us all to in-n-out
 I wanted to make it cute but Dad wanted it to look like it was eating a person... I guess since he's the one that ends up doing all the building he gets to choose
 CHRISTMAS JAMMIES ARE MY JAM
 
 
 Christmas Sunday! How wonderful it was to get to celebrate Christ on His day. As bishop pointed out, the next time we get to do that is 2022 and as I pointed out to Hannah on the bench in front of me, we might have husbands by then
 REPPIN'
The most precious part of Christmas this year was when Drake handed out the presents he bought at the student store with his own money for the fam. Mom better keep this necklace forever and ever.
Annnndddd to top it all off.... The best present I could ask for! SUITCASES & A TRIP!


Take a trip down memory lane with me...

HELLO WINTER BREAK

 Without a doubt I've been neglecting this little blog but for good reason! Finals week whipped my bum but I'm officially done with my first semester of college! I'd absolutely consider it a success but I'm relieved that I finally have winter break to relax and enjoy some time at home. Here are a few pictures that have accumulated the past month. (That perfect house you see above sadly doesn't belong to me but I couldn't resist stopping to snap a picture of it on my way home).
Before we got crazy selfishly busy studying for finals, light the world started off really strong! Day one we gave out free compliments in the student center. Brightening people's day brightened mine the most.
 Basic UT date. Saw the lights & had a blast before going to the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional. La luz es muy bonita.
 
 
CAIT! 
 
^^ apparently how John really felt about taking me to the lights... 
 The first snow! I'm surviving so far!!
 In case you missed it, our apartment had the most bomb Christmas card ever.
the mail has clearly been poppin' the past few weeks 
 
SO many gingerbread houses. Sadly neither counted for my interior design final but I still had so much fun making them! 
 
 
 Ice skating and tree farm dates are fun!
 
Mostly just happy that finals are over!!!! Hello winter break!
