Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!!! Today was such a fun and relaxing day. Nick and I got up, drank some Apple Cider, opened our gifts then went to my parents house to eat some WAFFLES and talk to Alexis on the phone! We were lucky enough to talk to her for 2 whole hours. It was so much fun! She sounds like she is doing well, and thankfully not changed. She has a stronger testimony and is more confident for sure in the gosple, but she is still the laughing, smiling, loud ALEXIS!!! We love her and miss her a lot. We ate a really good lunch with my Grandma Dillon and her Fiance Jim, then took naps and watched " The Hulk"....in blue ray I might add, which is so awesome! Then we went to Uncle Kenny and Aunt Susie's house to hang out and visit and then went to a movie with them! Nick and I are not watching 007. Today was such a great day being spent with family and most importantly my husband Nick! It was our 4th Christmas together since we met...time does fly!!!

Happy December!

I guess it is about time I blogged a little huh? All the blog templates for Christmas are so cute, it was hard to pick a new one out! Well, I for one am SO happy it is December and almost Christmas. I am even HAPPIER that school is out in 2 weeks! I am ready for a break. Lucky Nick gets out for GOOD in May 2009...so he is totally looking forward to that. He didn't get the internship...which we feel is a blessing in itself. I don't think Kristen could live on the income we would be making...which would have been NOTHING! Really though, we are very blessed to have a Heavenly Father looking out for us and keeping us safe and where we belong. This whole season of Christ's birth puts so much more spirit of love and giving in my heart. I can tell it does the same to others. I am so excited for the Christmas devotional coming up on Sunday, the Temple Lights, Winter Haven, Larry's Festival of Lights, Live Nativity staring ours truly...EVERYTHING! We are heading to Seattle on New Years Eve Morning. We are spending a couple days doing some touristy things and then going to Yelm for our niece, Ryenn's, baptism. We are excited.

Thanksgiving break was nice. Well, anytime we are away from work and the stresses of that is a good break in itself! I think MY favorite part was being able to feel my new little nephew's ( i think that is what he will be, cousin's baby), little foot kick his Mommy's, Katie's, tummy! It was so amazing and I am so excited for Katie and John to be new parents!

Here are some pictures....Nick and I are already done shopping for each other, the decorations are up....now where is the TREE??? We are going to get it this weekend, hopefully!
