Eve and 1st half of Christmas Day

I didn't get many pictures on Christmas Eve, we had a family dinner at the house. My brother in law Zeke and some of his family members came over as well. His older brother sings with Gladys Knight and her choir so we had the joy listening to him sing a solo for us, as well as listening to a great talk my dad shared with us.

We had such a wonderful Christmas with my family. We did so many fun things together. It is always a great time to gather all together this time of year and just hang out, relax, and laugh. We sure did get spoiled from everyone. It was hard to say goodbye but after brunch around 12:30 we headed up to Huntington! Onto the next party!

Chandler and I went out to dinner with my parents at Anazazi Grill and Fondue... It was DElisH!

My brother bought a gun, he brought it out to Utah so we all went shooting. It was a .40 Glock

Here is Chandler shooting
Muah


So lemme tell ya..I was the first to shoot..Ive shot a gun once in my life when I was younger...

I named it I nailed it....

Pink refrigerant tank...BAM

Green refrigerant tank...BAM

Spray painted elk on the metal duct work in the heart...BAM

BullsEYE...BAM!

We started out shooting about 50 yards from the props and everyone was telling me to scoot back another 50 yards to make it more difficult....so maybe 100-120 yards give or take...

I shoot the Metal Duck work....BAM!!!!

So pretty much all the good/right ON bullet holes you see below are mine! HA! JK! Okay okay-but it was a lot of fun! VERY LOUD!!! We might have to do that more often!

So every Christmas Eve we have a family tradition where we gather around the tree on a sheet and have a PicNic. We have platters of finger food, and appetizers and we sit around and read scriptures, or the Christmas story. This year we did this the night before Christmas eve, we read a really nice story that was Christmas related and sang a song together! It was great!

At my sisters house..everyone hanging around on the sheet eating at our picnic
Beautiful sunset... no snow on Pine Valley..I was okay with it!

Janson and I hanging out at Anti-Gravity...its a trampoline play-yard in St geez..It was fun!
Stinkin cutie!
He is such a Stud!!! And he knows it! ;)

lights and decor

A few days before Christmas we all loaded up in the cars and went to view the Christmas lights around town! This was downtown St. George..I was actually impressed with how awesome all the lights looked... The trees were decked out..In red

and in green
And lil Eva took this picture for us!

We stopped off at the temple of course... Eva always loving on Chandler

Or maybe Chandler always loving on Eva

We got to this house just in enough time in Bloomington Hills before they shut them off... The right side of the house was already turned off... It was amazing!
We had lots n lots of parties and gatherings at home... My moms house was decorated beautifully as always.. Her colors this year was Gold and Teal like peacock colors

Here my mom was leaving for a party..she was looking hott!
Janson LOVED her fur coat... It was the sweetest thing ever.. He is such a cuddly, mommas boy, he kept just wanting to put his head and face in her coat and feel it..it was funny!

Had to post pics of my pretty home that welcomed us! My moms tree- next year she wants to try to do pinks!!
One of three tables in our house all set up



It felt so good to be home in the cozy warm, beautiful home of mine!

Ballin with the FAM

One night my bro-in-law had to coach my nieces basketball practice..so we all decided to go watch at the church. Well the little girls were practicing at one end so Des, Zeke, Jerrel, Chandler, me, Sierra, and my Dad all decided to play speed. It was hilarious! Then I was pulling my Michael Jordan dunk!

once Brodda got me up
Then he was doin all sorts of flips
J and baby Janson

Then the girls needed to play a "real game" of ball full court. And they needed more players..So me, Zeke, Jaret, Chandler and Jerrel played... I was dying laughing guarding Zeke..and watching Jerrel purposely miss the basket..


Fun stuff!

The day after I picked up Chandler my mom had her Esthetics class graduation. She asked me if I would speak to the girls about my experience in the past 6 yrs and then kinda give them some "rah rah rah" to get out there with confidence and start working! I was one of 4 speakers. It was nerve wrecking to speak to 75 people (students and Families) but it was fun!

Kenneth stopped in from work to hear me speak

It was held at Tai Pan's event center- it was very beautiful!

I look weird and scary but okay anyway... I had a friend graduate- Lacey Brinkerhoff
And then a good family friend, Linda completed both courses as well!
Lacey and I after wards

It was a great day!
