Christmas break...finally.

Ok ok ok...
I know.
I haven't blogged again for like a week.
But the excitement has sorta worn off.
Nothing new. Nothing to write about.

Another semester has come and gone and I am so thrilled for it to be over.
We are here in San Diego visiting my family and it is just lovely.

We went to church yesterday, and baked most of the morning today.
And tonight, we are having a little Hawaiian Christmas party with some of our friends and family.

I love it and am so excited to be hanging out and doing nothing but celebrating the Christmas season!!

For now, enjoy this new Jimmy Kimmel clip:

Alex is 25!









This is late. I apologize.
But, I've been busy with school...ya know, the important stuff in life. HA!

We did have time to celebrate Alex's 25th birthday last weekend though.
During the day, we watched the BYU vs. Oregon basketball game at the Jazz stadium in SLC
and then we went out to dinner with some friends at the Cheesecake Factory.
I don't care what people say, I love that place.

Can you say peppermint bark cheesecake? So good.
I've said this already countless times, Alex, but happy birthday!
You're the bestest! ;)

SANTAAAAAA!!!! -Elf






A few days ago, we put up our Christmas tree.
I love Christmas.
It's my favorite.
Anything remotely related to Christmas is my favorite actually--
the lights, the music, the stockings, the trees, the presents ;)
Hope you all are getting into the spirit, as well!
Have a good Saturday everyone!

family







My family comes in tonight from San Diego!
I'm. so. excited.

We haven't seen them since the open house in Oregon so it has definitely been too long!

I know they're not too excited about the drive, but hopefully they will have a smooth, safe drive up here with no accidents and no snow, please.

I cant wait to see you guys!!
