Christmas Day, Hooray!!!

My new Camera, Yeah!

I am a spaz!

Here we are Rockin' out to Dakota and Chase's Rock Band. Gigi was singing "Mississippi Queen" it was Halarious!

Christmas morning is so much fun. My mom makes us all line up from oldest to youngest on the stairs and come down one at a time to see what Santa brought us. We have been doing this since I can remember. EsDee got an Ipod and Guitar Hero that we have been just a rockin' out to. It is such a blast! McCall got a new mattress and a darling bedspread for her new room. I got my XT Cannon camera that I have wanted forever. Watch out, I am constantly going to be taking pics. My mom also made me a huge silk blanket. Garrison got an Iphone and a down comforter. My mom got a huge picture of "The Last Supper", and my dad got some new shoes, some clothes, and a George Foreman. We all got so spoiled!

The rest of the day we went around to a few houses and chilled the rest of the day. Later that evening I went to a party with Shad and his family. We had a fabulous holiday. It was a very Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We are all just a matchin in our new p.j.'s, some things never change.

I love Christmas Eve. We have the funnest traditions! My parents cooked a huge dinner and my Grandpa and Grandma Brems came over to eat and open up a few gifts with us. This year we had prime rib, and about 10 other things to go along with it. It was delicious! After we ate we opened our gifts from the person of the name we drew. McCall gave me an Ihome for my Ipod and a darling black pearl necklace. I had Garrison and gave him an Ipod shuffle. We also opened up our p.j.'s and just enjoyed each others company for the rest of the evening, until it was time to go get in bed for Santa.

Soldier Hollow...

A few days after Christmas my sisters and I all headed up to Soldier Hollow with Shannon and her kids to go tubing. It was kind of cold, but so much fun. We took the babies down twice, but they really didn't enjoy it, maybe next year they will have more fun. Afterwards we went to Chilis to warm up and stuff our faces with some delicious food and dessert. Yummy! We also went back to Shannon's and jammed out on their Rock Band, which I am terrible at. I failed out with singing 3 times, which is a huge concern.

Welcome Home to Me!

I am back once again from Maui. We had the funnest time ever. It was gorgeous there, and the weather ended up being great. We swam, hung out at the beach, went to the spa (which is always interesting with all those other women, if you know what I mean), went to a Luau, shopping, got a ton of sun, and just hung out in Cory and Shannon's gorgeous condo. It was an amazing get-a-way! Thanks so much Cory and Shannon. Love you and your family a ton.

Aloha again...

I am heading back to Maui for the second time in the last 2 months, how lucky is that! This time around I am going with Cory, Shannon and their 3 amazing kids. I am so EXCITED! It has been a chore to get ready to go, I had to take all my finals early and work every night this week, but it is so worth it!!! I will miss you all and see you when I get back!

Making Gingerbread Houses

Tonight we got together with all the Hansen's to make gingerbread houses, which is a tradition my mother started quite awhile ago. It is so much fun. All the kids love it, and so do I. It is another fabulous tradition for our family during the Holidays.

1st Presidency Christmas Devotional

My family, Shad and I went to the 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional. It was Fabulous. President Hinkley is so darling. They all gave amazing talks and there is such a powerful spirit that comes with those men.




Afterwards we walked around Temple Square with the rest of the millions of people that had the same idea. It was a bit cold, but tons of fun. They don't have as many lights this year, but it is still a great Christmas tradition. I just love going up every year with my family, it is one of my favorite family traditions.
