Our first Christmas tree...



Even though we are going to be up in Price for a couple weeks, we still got a real Christmas tree. Brett didn't want one, but I don't think Christmas feels like Christmas til you have a Christmas tree. However, it isn't decorated very well since we don't have a lot of money. But it's still our first tree. We went with Jeremy and Heidi to get it. Heidi and I kept picking out smaller trees, but the boys wanted big ones. Silly boys.... I think my favorite part is our nativity scene and stockings. It's always fun to get in the Christmas spirit and remember the birth of our Savior.









We are so happy to be done with school for the semester! I am looking forward to my last semester of school for a long time and being a RN. Brett is just happy to get another semester done, he still has a long road ahead but he is looking forward to being a dentist.


Guess what happened in St. George today? It snowed! It snowed most of the day, but not much stuck, thank goodness! Can you believe snow in St. George? That is just nuts! The snow makes the D blend in....

By the way Danae is getting married on March 14th for those of you who were wondering.

We hope that everyone is enjoying the holiday season and remembering the true meaning of Christmas. We are so grateful for the birth of Jesus Christ and the life that he lived for all of us. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Oh YEAH! It looks SUPER cute! Trent felt the same way about not getting a tree---but unfortunately he may have won =( I was a little disappointed about not having a tree but the last two weeks I have only been home to sleep so I guess its ok. Good thing I have one at work to get me in the spirit. That is pretty crazy about snow in ST. George---I will trade you? =D I am SOOOOO super excited---Only one more week until I get to see you! WAHOO!!!! Love Ya Tons!!!

Yes, school is out for a moment. It does feel nice.
I hope that you guys can make it to SL for the Christmas party. My Dad is planning it for the 28th in West Jordan.
I better call him right now to remind him to get going on that!!!

I love your tree! It is beautiful! Looking at you two in front of it reminds me of mine and Tim's first tree. We have a picture of you and your bros in front of it!
