Farewell Dinner!

One of my best friends, Heather Burton, is going on a Mission to New York! We have been friends since Junior High! A few of our friends all got together and went to the Spaghetti Factory as a farewell dinner! It was so much fun hanging out with my old friends! I love these girls! Brandie even brought pictures of all of us in Junior High together! We all went bowling after, which is always fun!! I am extremely proud of Heather and I know she will be a great missionary! I will miss her but she will be back in 18 months!

Disneyland was so much fun! Jaxton and Presley were so excited to be there! My parents, Nick, Andrea, Presley, Matt and I got to have lunch with all of the princesses the first day we got there! Presley was soooo happy and Ariel dubbed Presley the cutest kid of the day! My parents, Preston, Amber, and Jaxton got to have breakfast with all of the characters the next day!! Matt and I rode every ride at least once! My favorites were the Hollywood tower of terror in California Adventure and Space Mountain in Disneyland! Both Parks were decked out for Christmas! Even a lot of the rides were redone to be Christmas themed! It was a great vacation!! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Christmas 2008

Christmas was so great! On Christmas Eve night Matt's mom and sisters came over for dinner and since the weather was too bad for them to drive home they spent the night and had breakfast with us in the morning! It was so nice that we were able to spend time with them on Christmas! After they left Matt and I had our own little Christmas and opened the presents we got for eachother. Matt got me a gorgeous Dooney and Bourke zebra handbag that I love and a bottle of Gucci perfume! I got him a Louis Vuitton tie, a tie rack, and 3 new wallets! After that we got dressed and headed up to my parents house for lunch. My mom made a Ham and salads, it was so good! My parents decided that for our Christmas this year they would just get us all tickets to Disneyland!! California here we come!

Tis' The Season For Lights And Decorations!

Well I'm a little slow on posting these pictures considering we had all of this up a week before Thanksgiving but better late than never right? Matt spent the whole saturday two weeks before Thanksgiving putting up all of the lights on the house (I think he was too excited to wait)! He did such an amazing job, they look like a professional did them! Then we drove to Tai Pan Trading and bought our very first Christmas tree and decorations together! I spent the whole saturday the week before Thanksgiving putting all the decorations up! We are however missing one important decoration........The Star for the top of the tree! We are in search of the perfect Star and we just haven't found "the one" yet! I love Christmas lights and decorations! I am so excited we have a house of our own to decorate now and I'm thrilled Matt enjoys it as much as I do!
