2 weeks ago John and I were asked to speak in sacrament meeting, that same day i had to teach Young Womens too, it was a crazy weekend, and i was very stressed, but so relieved when it was over. Our computer had a virus so we didn't get to use it as a source, we just had to use all the books as references but it ended up being great. 
Emily, Peter, and John and I went snowboarding at brighton on the food pantry day for $15 and a bag of canned foods. It was a blast, but it sure was cold that that day, the sun was out but the wind was blowing, good times....
I made this spagetti squash spagetti for dinner a few nights ago and it was amazing! We loved it, and i wish i took a picture while the salad was still on the plate, it was gorgeous ;).
We went to John's family Thomas Christmas Party last weekend in Provo and this was the drive up, it was a beautiful sunset (you really can't tell in the picture but it was). The party was fun, it was fun to be with family because it had been a while.And we're sure not waiting for snow any longer! We keep getting dumped on. After Christmas we came home to 8 new inches of snow, it was wild and we couldn't even get into our driveway because of the snow plow. 
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Christmas was awesome, we spent Christmas eve with John's family in Ephriam, Christmas morning with mine, then Christmas morning with John's (They wake up later then mine do) and then the rest of Christmas day with mine until that night and then we headed back to John's house. It was fun to be with everyone, although jumping back and forth got a little old, i think next time, we'll just spend more time with one of them and then switch off years.
For Christmas i got snow boots from my mom and a pair from John (thats the only thing i could think of that i wanted) i got decorations for our house from John parents which i love ;) and my mom made the cutest aprons for all of us girls, there's a picture of debbie in her's down here somewhere.....John also got me the most beautiful picture of the Manti temple which he and a friend made, I love it! John got a sleeping bag, bullets, beanie, money, a flashlight, a couple movies and i gave him a recurve bow and snow pants.
Here's our matching beanies from John's parents, we love them!
Here's John and i with our stockings Christmas morning ;)
Debbie was hilarious, everytime she opened a present she could put it on, she's got a pair of new clothes, her cute apron and her gloves on for this picuture...
Peter got mostly clothes i think, and Dane got this awesome Ripstick, we've been riding it all week.
Christmas night we headed over to Jay and Lauries for a potluck dinner with the Pili's who came to visit. It was fun to see them!
Anyway, there's a little catch up of us, i'm so grateful for family! We love them all so much and it was so good to be home and with family. Merry Christmas everyone! And a happy New Year!
