Devotionals

So, obviously, the gospel is an important part of the Christmas season.  Church today helped me reflect on the blessing Christ has been on my life.  And tonight, after a delicious dinner prepared by my roommates, we get to watch the 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional.  I hope you all get the chance to watch it and remember the true meaning of Christmas :)

Christmas Miracles!

Today, I decided to tackle one of the hardest parts of the holiday season, Christmas shopping.  But while I was engaging in the endeavor, three Christmas Miracles surprised me!

First, I was able to get everyone's presents (excluding my dad.  If you have any suggestions let me know)
Second, I didn't get in a wreck in the parking lot full of mass loads of shoppers.
And third, I found this gem in my wallet that I had completely forgotten about.

Good Luck on your shopping!!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Even the weather has decided to jump in on this December action.  Here are the beginnings of the second real snow fall we have had all year:

It doesn't look like much, but no worries the snow is still working on it.  In case you're wondering, sitting by the fire with my roommates and watching the snow is a quite lovely way to spend the afternoon :)

Turkey Day!

I decided to skip a couple days of school and give myself an extra-long Thanksgiving Break.  And it was totally worth it!! I did SO much that I didn't even have time to take pictures! haha But here are some of the highlights of my week.

Addison's Ballet
Black Friday
Food, food and MORE FOOD
Celebrating my birthday very early :)
Watching a bazillion movies
Putting up and sleeping under the Christmas tree
Partying with friends
Festival of Trees
Santa turning on the lights at the Square
LOTS of family time :)

Only 2 1/2 weeks until Christmas Break!!

ADDISON!

In case you haven't met my sister, she is just about the most adorable thing in the whole world.  And when I was home this weekend, she was cracking me up! Here are just a few of the hilarious things she said:

Her heater was broken in her room so she was sleeping in my parents' room.  When my dad wanted all of the kids out of his room she said, "It's MY room TOO!"

After ballet practice she said, "It's annoying because none of them pay attention!"

Blake asked her how many states there are.  "Fifty Nifty"

She was upset after ballet practice and when my mom had the audacity to suggest going into JC Penny's before getting lunch she ranted, "But I wanna eat something now and I wanna eat in the store, and I'm HUNGRY!!!"

She said I couldn't be her friend because I was her sister, and I got offended until she said, "Sisters are BETTER than friends!"

She's so cute :)

Happy Halloween!

Even though it feels like I have been celebrating Halloween for WAY too long, I most certainly had a "spook"tacular Halloween weekend haha.
On Friday, my roommates and I went to the USU basketball game and were scared out of our minds by some pranksters.
Saturday consisted of cheesy Halloween movies and then a halloween party :)
These are the people who had the best costumes :)

I was Rosie the Riveter if you can't tell

On Sunday, we listened to President Monson as part of our stake conference broadcast.
And finally, on the actual Halloween, Kota and I made a wicked awesome Halloween cake,

And then I got to watch HOCUS POCUS!! :)
(Throughout the weekend I also received a bucketload of pictures of these little cuties)

Happy Halloween!!
Get ready for Christmas!!
