Christmas break!!!

I thought it would never come!! I love Chritmas break!! Jon is home for a good 3 weeks and we get to go home to St. George to be with the most awesome people around, Our families! Oh I love it! We had a great great great time! Hated to leave! Thanks everyone for making it such a fun and memorable Christmas! We started off the trip with a round of bowling with Jons family but my pictures didn't turn out at all. :( Here are a few pictures that did work out of what went down...

Here is Jon and I with baby bree... she is our newest niece
Allie cat with her Christmas present, her new puppy named Lucky!

Arden just being cute... she's good at that.

Jon and I went on my favorite hike up in Snow Canyon. It is one of my very favorite places, it's so beautiful up there! The pictures of the view didn't turn out very well at all but I am gonna post them anyway.
Just being silly. We do that a lot.
It was really cool on this hike because there was still snow and ice left over from the storm so the contrast of the snow and desert landscape was really neat. Jon took these cool pictures... if you click on them and make them big they are even better!


This one was REALLY cool. You cant tell from the picture but there was big bubbles of water slowly running under this little frozen watefall. It was so cool to watch, it didn't look real.
THE VIEW! (and the foggy picture, use your imagination because the color is AMAZING)

So it was an awesome Christmas break! We had so much fun with everyone! Thanks again!

PARTY!!!!

So Jon and I had our big Christmas party at our house last night with some of our neighbors! yay! It turned out so great!! Everyone brought amazing food, we played some games, did a white elephant gift exchange, laughed a LOT! Thanks everyone for coming and making it so fun!!!

This is the whole group! Minus Jon and I, taking the pics! Notice the coveted statue that Zach was blessed to recieve...

Here is a closeup of the 1st prize best white elephant gift! I'm sure it will be "re-gifted" for many years to come!

So we played this game where you had a green piece of papar, put it behind your back and had 1 minute to tear out the perfect Christmas tree! These two did NOT win, but the bribery was tempting to the judge.

Here is Jon attempting Guitar Hero... He and I were first timers so we didn't look very rock'n'roll but it was still fun! Also notice little London in the middle... she was so cute!! She was bouncing and dancing the WHOLE time they were playing that game! She is a party animal, she could have gone all night!

This is the guitar hero master!! I had video of him doing it but it wouldn't upload! Anyway, this is Stephenson and Katie, they are so cute and he definately won "most Christmas spirit"

And last but not least, me, Katie and Tara, attempting blue steele, don't know where that came from but they are cute girls! I should have had one with ALL the girls! Grrr... Thanks again everyone!!!

Stir Crazy...

So Jon and I had been cooped up in our house all day on Saturday so we decided to go play in the snow... and that is where Fluffy, the snow penguin was born.




We also attempted to make snow angels... didn't work so well...

This is right before I rolled up Jon in the snow.

Then I made a little present for our friend next door. He was very excited as you can see.

FINALLY!!

I know I have been really bad lately with updating my blog... shame on me... I have all these fun pictures and no excuse for not posting. I hope you will all forgive me and enjoy these pictures from the past month!
