Christmas is in the air and I just can't get enough of it!



I opened one of my Christmas presents early (at the request of the gift giver), so that I could enjoy it for the rest of this season... AND I love it!!


We had a Christmas party one Friday night and my roommate Melissa was sporting some festive reindeer gear.





All these pictures are all jumbled in here and I can't figure out how to move them. Anyway, these couple of pictures are from the Festival of Trees. There was a fancy glass blown tree that was rumored to have sold for $40,000.



The snow was dumping out of the sky one night, so I thought I would take a picture. We get way more snow now that we moved up closer to the base of the mountains.

Ho Ho Man

I was recently called to the activities committee in my new ward and quickly given the assignment for our ward Sub for Santa. In an effort to rally the troops, I sent a sign-up sheet around church so that people could volunteer to help with the shopping and had a pretty good response. Unfortunately, when I called all those that signed up, everyone (except one girl) bailed on me. I begged my roommate to come along and help so that the shoppping wouldn't take forever. Even though our numbers were small, we acutally had a great time buying presents for a family of 6girls.

Tonight we got to deliver the presents we purchased. We showed up to a humble home and were greeted by 6 smiling faces. The littlest girl (she was about 3)was dancing around the room with excitement. She told us all her favorite things about Christmas. She was smiling and I was too, especially when she pointed to Santa and said, "Ho Ho Man!"

Hooray for Christmas and getting to spread some Christmas cheer this season.

Christmas Fun



I enjoyed a christmas concert downtown this last weekend!











My roomates and I had some friends over for dinner Sunday night!












We tried out a new frozen yogurt shop in town called Red Mango. It was very tasty... I can't wait to go back!

















Decorated our Christmas tree!
