December 2010.

Guys! I am almost there, the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight. This is my last post before I can return to regular scheduled programming. What a good feeling.

The majority of December was spent in Washington with my fam. It was so fun. I had only one sinus infection that threatened to derail my holiday plans and it was quickly conquered by antibiotics. But before I get ahead of myself, let me document about our sister trip to see the lights at temple square. This was a fun night but was unnecessarily stressful at times which can only be accounted for the fact that anytime Lindsay and I get together it is straight up chaos. The smart part of our brains just turn off when we get together. Anyway- we started out the night at The Old Spaghetti Factory, followed by a wild ride throughout downtown Salt Lake (hehe), then finally making it to Temple Square! The lights were spectacular this year. Par was being rather rambunctious at OSF but the moment we saw the lights he was in awe and didn't say a word. He loved seeing all the nativities and pointing out baby Jesus and the sheep.

I am not sure what they are doing in this picture but doesn't their skin look flawless?!

I was having what I call a Khloe Kardashian complex that night. What is a Khloe Kardashian complex you ask? Well... it's when you have 2 super cute, petite, stylish sisters and you are the ogre that towers over them in every single picture. I couldn't find a cute picture of us and this is the only one of us 3 together that I will allow to post because I am crouched down and they are making silly faces to try and make me look cuter. I was not amused. I love my sisters but every now and then I get the Khloe complex and can't be in pictures with them!

The holiday season was quite the success. Very well rounded if you ask me... we even received a little snow in Washington, which is a rare occasion. Most of our vacation time was spent either at the mall, at zoo lights, watching movies in the love sac by the fire, snowboarding, visiting the Seattle Temple, eating at Cheesecake Factory/Panera Bread, playing games, going to church, playing on the beach, and of course spending much needed time with family.

One of the first documented activities was Zoo lights at the Point Defiance Zoo. This is a great zoo people, so great that they give rides on the back of camels! Much to your (and our) disappointment, we did not participate on the camel ride. Next time though!

After Christmas we went to to the Seattle LDS Temple and it was so fun to go to a different temple!

New Years Eve rolled around and we had a hoot of a time playing uno and farkle and banging pots and pans as well as eating the mandatory chinese food.

We had such a blast this year! Thanks so much family for making it a grand old time!
