Christmas Thank-yous!

Hello Family! Since I haven't talked to any of you since Christmas I just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing gifts you gave us! Not only in presents but in time, service, and love. I couldn't have a better family!
Thanks Papa!

I totally did not think I was going to get these! I was so excited I did a happy dance. :)

Thanks grandma!
She opened this first and wanted nothing else to do with her other presents.

My sister-in law got me this but I couldn't resist putting it on. So cute!

Love the gloves!

Ok totally forgot what this looked like Nae! I love it! Cuter than I remember :)

Nae and Jamie reading. So sweet!

"I love puzzles!" Thanks Grandma and Papa

Matching girls! Thanks Aunt Nae!

Because you guys are AWESOME!

I just wanted to take a minute to brag about my siblings. They are basically the most AWESOME people in the world and I am so grateful to call them mine. Good work mom and dad for raising us right!

Jacob - He called me the other day to let me know he entered a photo contest in SV - a pretty competitive contest with old people photographers (like my dad :) competing and everything. He won! Not only did he win, he won with the most awesosme picture in the universe (I happen to be in it) and he got $100 bucks. Want to know what he's doing with his $100? BUYING EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. Not spending it on himself, since he was the one to earn the money and all, but giving it all to his family. Jake I am so impressed with you!

Janae- She is the eternal ray of sunshine positivity. I don't think she ever has anything negative to say. Everyone in life loves her and she loves life. I never come away from a conversation feeling like all of my positive energy was sucked out of my life form. (Y'all know what I'm talking about) Janae you have a beautiful smile and I can hear it even when I don't see it!

Allen - Allen wrote one of his usual weekly family letters and mentioned how he went to pick up new missionaries from the airport. One of the greenies was asked by the MP's wife what his mission goals were. He said "well toady when we got off the plane I saw Elder Simpson talking to every single person in the airport. If I could have that kind of drive then I would know I was becoming a celestial missionary" (quote from allen's letter). I'm so impressed by how much courage Allen has and how hard he works! Whenever I read his letters I always feel proud that I get to be his big sister.

Anna- This amazing lady lives around the corner from me! She has cooked Stephen and I dinner so many times - especially durring stressful weeks when I feel like I can't handle anything but school. She brought Stephen and I little goodie bags for finals week. She offers to wash my dishes, she gives me rides to the store and everywhere else, AND she lets me hang out with her kid (who is quite entertaining). Thank you so much Anna! I'm changing your middle name to LIFESAVER.

Halloween!

In Jamie's words, "I Jamie bear"

Jacob was tip toeing thru the forest blowing on his cow call, when all of a sudden, a bull showed his face (and horns) and Jake and he became BFF. Oct 1, 2010

Credit must be given to cousin Darnell for the intense tracking to find the animal after it ran off wounded. Also, to cousin Devin who brought up the horses to pack it out, and to Uncle Nolan who feeds the horses all winter long, and his dad who bought the license and woke Jacob up at 4:45am to go hunting on opening day.

Hahahahaha

She did it, not me.

Midnight Icecream Run!

So the girls were craving McDonalds icecream at eleven at night! After a little begging and puppy dogs eyes from Nae Dad consented to take us! He wanted his wifey to come too and she also agreed. Hence the midnight run for icecream! Who said we didn't have cool parents? :) Love you Mom and Dad!

Dad- "Mmmm that icecream looks good! What we are taking a picture? Sorry about that I couldn't take my eyes off that icecream!"
