Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas!

December the twentyfifth! Oh what a lovely day! :) i got so many good gifts and was so happy to watch others not only open the gifts i got them but get excited about all their gifts. It was also nice to read my scriptures before i went down, it was cool because the chapter i was reading talked about Christ greatest gift. I was reminded before i went downstairs to the toys, clothes, and books. that Chirst was the best gift given.

Christmas dinner is always one of my favorite, even with Seafood night, and Chinese food night the nights before. Everyone is gathered around the table which looks magnificent with all its trimmings and gold, red, and silver shining brillantly at you. And the food! mmm. that honey smoked ham with brown sugar glaze...ah!!! a symphony for my tastebuds. to team up with ham we had cheesy potatos, green bean stir fry with bacon bits, brussel sprouts (which were really good), fluffy rolls, and a sweet fruit salad. And never. EVER forget the apple cider! oh my!

After dinner after i had treated myself to some sticky tofee pudding the phone kept ringing and ringing (it was in the trash can outside) it turned out it was Craig and them. Kerri finally called them back on my mom's cell phone and guess what we played for the millionth time...tag! though we did switch it up and play Zombie, and i thought that was kind of fun.

To end i would just like to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope it is a good one!
p.s. the chinese food was really good to!

Turkey Day

Mashed Potatos, Vagatable Dish, Rolls, Roasties, Stuffing (oh yeah), Green Bean Cassarole (sweet mama!), and of course TURKEY!!! Don't even get me started on Pies :). Thanksgiving is even more than that though! It is a holiday to be with family and realize all that we were thankful for. This year the thing i was most thankful for was that i could ACTUALLY eat. You see there are several reasons why this was my biggest one. One of course because i love food, two was because i was sick monday and tuesday with a stomach bug which meant i couldn't eat unless i wanted it coming back up in a not so pleasant way. and the smell of that Ham that day...oooh man...the third is that poor Aubri McKee (srry about spelling) couldn't eat for almost a whole month...correct me if i am wrong...she is such a brave girl and so strong. i was complaining for being on the coach two days whereas Aubri has been hospitilized for two months. i am such a complainer and she is such a survivor. I love you Aubri and hope that gravey tasted good. :) because you actually got to eat. ;)

A FUN FILLED WEEK

WOW!!! this week was way crazy, but way fun!!! i almost Can't remember it all. So let me start with what i remember. Monday i headed to Katie Coon's house where we talked and realized that the bonds of friendship are strong.Tuesday Ashley and i went over to Justin Ashcroft's house to tutor him in math, but since he forgot to write down his homework Justin, Ashley, Craig, and I just talked and threw around a football, the next day was similar but we actually helped with homework and instead of football we jumped on their Trampalene. each day i was late for pratice :/ haha. Mutaul was that same Wednesday and we had the Wall their and a scavenger hunt. mucho fun. Thursday i had a meet which i did okay in, and that night Craig, Justin, Holland, Mckenna Ashcroft, Joselyn , Ashley and I went to a haunted house. the highlight was prolly when they learned Ashley's name and started calling for her. Friday i had an all day meet in which Garrett Baker gave me the greatest back massage i had ever been given. Thanks Garrett! After my meet i slept and watched Smallville, with no energy. Saturday came and my energy regained i painted fire hydrants and played in the mud totally dunking Katie head in the water and smearing mud in her hair, once there was even a worm in her hair.irrigating the pasture, 50$ (I Dont't really know) hot chocolate afterwards a dollar, seeing Katie's face when i pulled the worm out of her hair and showed it to her....PRICELESS! That night we had burgers and a magic show! way cool! then it was off to a bonfire where Hot chocolate and smores were served, yum. we opened our fast with President Larson and a Bagpipe guy and hung out by the fire with Bishop till it was too much to keep our eyes open. Today we began Eight O' Clock church and the primary program was adorable. Great Job Elijah! 3:30 came along and after my nap, we went to our own Youth Sacrament Meeting, it was a break the fast because we fasted as a youth for the youth so sweet pork borrito salad things were served with the choice of milk, water, root beer, or lemonade to choose from. I has a refreshing cup of Lemonade. Cupcakes for dessert with the option of two or one. I was only going for one but accidently ate two...my bad. Off to home where i winded down from the week and realized how wonderful it was. Well that was a lot, but that was indeed my week! :D and it was ALL INSIDE! (our theme)

Toast and...Jumpstreet?

Tuesday night my ward boys Jacob, Caylor, Craig, and Justin came over for some home made bread and jam. Made quite a mess in my kitchen but made up for it with some oreos! it was quite boistrous fun. very loud, but fun. After trying to argue that we should go to the haunted house over by Sunsplash we decided to go to Jumpstreet, the turkeys.
BUT i will admit i had lots of fun. it being my first time and hopefully not my last.
Everyone but Kerri and me were doing backflips, Craig even managed a double flip, i was blown away. Caylor demonstrated how good he was at pegging oppenents at dodgeball Jacob and Caylor did fun little summersault flips, Crazy. And I, I got in the way several times. even hurting people, on accident of course, because i have no balance and i am such a clumsy goose.
But i again say it was quite fun! We even got Circle K slurpies. Craig bought, us all, even though i hurt him the most....sorry!
Mucho Fun!

Game Night!!!

Even though our football team is cliche and we lose all the time i love going with my gals and making a scene.

Karla and i especially enjoyed this going over to the Queen Creek side hooting and hollering. i got a few "go back to your side!" so i waved cheerfully at them and asked them how they were doing even telling them i loved them a few times. We also danced to all the music at half time. we felt so tough with our war paint.

Before hand Katie Aubrey and I even made cute little flip flops. Ashley Joselyn and Aubrey made shirts. Karla helped us all out and painted her face with Ashley and me. Overall it was a great night of errands, crafts, squealing, cheering, and laughing.

What a joy senior year is!
OUT SENIOR!
