Temple Square!

around Christmas time they put a ton of christmas lights all over temple square and have a cool Nativity skit thingy. i got to go to temple square twice this year. once with my grandparents and my cousins and the other time with a good friend from my home town thats attending University of Utah, Ryan Wright. i loved going to temple square it was so pretty and just fun to walk around and see everything that they had set up. i love christmas time. i love christmas lights, christmas music, and getting in the christmas spirit.

SOO pretty!

Thanksgiving Break!!

well Thanksgiving Break was so so good. it was such a good break from school and no homework. it was so great to see all my friends and to hang out with my family all day every day. it was so great to have a day set aside to remember everything you are thankful for. i ate a lot food.. well a lot of food for me. haha i did many many puzzles. and just hung out. it was a great week. i miss my family so much and am excited for Christmas Break to spend more time with them.

Last Football Game

BYU had there last football game before Thanksgiving break so me and Kar stuck through the cold weather and went to the game. i brought some hot cocoa and had fun with the Finches. the football games were fun to go to. but i'm glad there over with. haha

state football!

James was in the state championship for football and i wasn't able to make it to the game so i made him a cute shirt and watched his game online. it was actually really fun to watch! it was such an intense game. they ended up losing.. but they played very well and never gave up.

FHE

we made a thankful tree for FHE the other day. it was such a cute tree. and was a fun FHE.
