Christmas Celebrations!

This last Christmas was so much fun! The first of many parties was a sugar cookie making party. I made Grandma Callister's famous sugar cookie dough and then I had a bunch of people over and we baked and then frosted and decorated the cookies. They were so good!! I think it's so fun doing stuff like this with friends.We had an awesome Christmas Party with all the Dental Hygiene Students and Staff. We had such a fun time wearing our ugly Christmas sweaters and eating good food and playing fun games. I love all the girls I go to school with- they are so awesome and I'm going to really miss them when we graduate in April.

My parents got home from their mission a few days before Christmas and it was great having them home. Debbie and Dan came for the holidays- just the singles this year! Since Christmas Day doesn't have as much excitement when little kids aren't there, we decided to open presents for like 10 minutes then hit up good old Dodge Ridge for the rest of the day. It was awesome snowboarding on Christmas Day- no one else was there and we were together as a fam!

A few days after Christmas, we went to Las Vegas to see the rest of the family. It was great seeing my dear Grandma Fife. She was so excited to see my parents after their mission. I loved seeing how proud she was of my mom and dad for serving a mission.

Family love!

Best part of the vacation- hearing Dan tell the story of how he got attacked by a dog during a blind date! I think I heard the story 18 times and it never got old!
