Girl Stuff

Here are a couple friends gettin together for Danielles birthday.
She's the center on the right.
I really love those girls.

And this is Britni's Favorite Things Party, which was so awesome.

We all brought our favorite thing and shared it with each other.

And then Britni gathered gifts to share with every one else.
It was so great.

Every girl was cute and nice.

These are Katie and My gifts

Katie

The food was abundant and delicious, these girls are very talented.

The gift I brought was wrapped in news paper adds haha.
It was Dry Shampoo from Bed Head, love it!!!

I'm thankful for some great, sweet and fun friends.
Thanks Britni for inviting me to the party of the season!

Winter post

Back in December, Dave had an opportunity to go on the White House Christmas tour and see how they have decorated everything. These pics are the ones he picked out of his array of photos.

Lincoln

Washington

The official white house Christmas tree.
He was pretty lucky to get those tickets and I know he really enjoyed himself.

In the Christmas season I thought it would be a good thing to do to join a church holiday orchestra. It was so nice to practice festive songs leading up to the General Presidency Christmas devotional. These pics are at a practice for the strings. Not everyone was there just yet btw.

Just in case you can't tell, I'm the viola right behind the four violins you see in front.

I really love my viola. It looks beautiful and sounds beautiful... When I practice, that is.

Back in Utah with the fams!!
This is cute lil Sophia. We love love love our new nephews and niece.

New years eve with a couple of the Lees. It was a pretty funny night!

Hello sweet boy!

I think its funny.

Temple lights.

My first time meeting this sweet cutie.


It was so great being able to spend time with all our family this December.
Sorry to everyone who we left out in this post. I need to get better at being more consistent in my picture taking. But we love you all so much and can't wait to be reunited again!!!

Thanksgiving!

So here's the Thanksgiving blog.
Dave an I went over to the Oats house and celebrated with a couple more friends.

I made Apple pie and Key Lime pie. Nothing compared to my moms annual seven or eight pies, but it's a start haha.

Between the four couples bringing stuff we had SO MUCH FOOD!
We had candied yams, green bean casserole, potatoes and gravy, salad, rolls...

Two kinds of stuffing...

Turkey of course, special juice, red jello, and more!!

Everything was so delicious! Seriously, I could have eaten it all for Days and Days.

The boys watching the game. These boys are so enthusiastic, I especially love Joes face on the left. He looks like a hungry zombie.

Here are the two cute sisters from Texas. I loved getting to know them better and also their fun girls.
I tried bringing a couple of my families Thanksgiving traditions to the gang. Some of them worked, some of them didn't...

Like the Turkey Treats!!

We try to do different types of turkey treats each year, and the ones we tried this year did not go over so well, as you can see.

More football.

Love my goofy guy :)

Then we all played The All Beloved Skittle Game!!

The lil girls kinda tried to play too, but as usual, the adults got too competitive and played right over the cute faces.
And to keep the record going, Dave used his signature cheat tactics.
(sorry love, gotta tell it like it is!)

The one time they got to play

Someone get those doubles!!!

I might have gotten too many skittles.

Joe got pretty intense too.

This was one of those traditions that worked out pretty well :)
It always does!!

Thanks Ellen, for Hosting the Feast!!
You always have such a loving, welcoming home and I'm thankful for your hard work in making this a great holiday.
