Fa-La-La-La-La'ing in Love with Winter

Hey guys! It's officially winter, and you know what that means! CHRISTMAS TIME. This is my favorite time of year. Hot cocoa, candy canes, presents, family, lights, sales, nativity, decorations, and Christmas music (I started that last one a couple weeks ago.... guilty as charged.)

This weekend I got into the Christmas spirit by heading out to temple square to see the lights with my man! It was SO much fun! When I came back home to Idaho my apartment was all decked out with decorations, Santa baby is playing on the radio, Christmas hymns in church, big sales in stores.... I cant help but feel it.

I've been infected by the Christmas bug. 

So now combining Christmas fever with my love for making lists I decided to make a "Holiday Bucket-List"

1. Make homemade Hot-Chocolate
2. Do at least ONE Pinterest-decoration idea
3. Make a snowman
4. Have a snowball fight (and win)
5. Go sledding
6. Fall asleep by the fire
7. Make a "Christmas playlist"
8. Wear an ugly Christmas sweater
9. Make a gingerbread house
10. Make snow angels! 
11. Drink LOADS of eggnog (non-alcoholic of course)
12. Make gingerbread men FOR my gingerbread house
13. Make gingerbread women FOR my gingerbread men
14. Go frolicking in the snow 
15. Hot tubbing/rolling in the snow (This is one of those "You know you're from Minnesota IF....")
16. Catch snowflakes on my tongue
17. Listen to ALL of the Elvis Presley Christmas songs EVER
18. Watch "It's a Wonderful Life" 
19. Spend way too much time on ABC Family
20. Spend as MUCH time with loved ones as I can :)

Hey Guys,

Happy Holidays!!! This is my favorite time of year for many reasons some include: food, Halloween, Thanksgiving, food, Christmas, New Years, food, and ......  Food? Did I mention that I love the food?

All jokes aside though, this time of year is amazing. Friends and families get together to enjoy each others company and talk about what they are thankful for. So I thought to myself.. Why not share some of the things that I am thankful for?

T- I am thankful for my miniature dachshund, Tootsie!
H- I am thankful for my HAPPY family :)
A- I am thankful for all my wonderful friends!

V- I am thankful for my very sweet boyfriend, Cameron.
I- I am thankful for individuality. I love expressing what makes each of us different!
N- I am thankful for Nutella. Why? If you are asking this, I assume you've never had Nutella.

What are you thankful for this year?

One sheep... Two sheep..... Three sheep....

I. Can't. Relax.
I've spent all day in the car and I just cannot shut my brain off.... So don't mind me while I spill all the contents of my brain in order to catch some shut eye.

I hate school (Ha! You guys haven't heard that from me before- psh!) but really... I ain't in need of no educasion. I speak good! ....... FYI... I'm totally kidding. Haha I know how to spell education ;) and in all honesty I love learning! Don't believe me? Ask my family! I know a whole crap-ton of random facts like, it takes giraffes approximately a half hour to throw up haha, and I enjoy learning new things! It's just ...well.... I'm stubborn! And ready to be in college! (Not ready to leave family) but I feel like I should have graduated last year with my sister.

...now that that rant is over... Haha :)

I am so ready for Christmas :)
I love the lights, the snow, the traditions, the food, and I love my Savior Jesus Christ! So what a perfect holiday!

Speaking of traditions my family does this thing where we put everyone's name in a bowl and each pick one out, whoever we draw out is the person we buy a gift for. This year I got my baby sister Savannah (not really a baby any more but she will forever have that title) and funny thing is she got me too! This weekend we were walking around some shops in Duluth and she would secretly (but very obviously) follow me around and every time I would stop and look at something or pick something up and then put it back and move on she'd "go in for the kill." She would walk over pick it up and ask mom if she could buy it- she is so cute :) (I'll probably put a pic of her in later)

I've yet to find her something. But all is well. :)

Better get to bed now. Once again sorry for the random/ boring post. I'll get better! Goodnight!
