Gingerbread House Competition: Boys vs. Girls!


To top off the night we watched the classic christmas movie- ELF! we had such a great time


the boys

the girls

the couples

A night on the time to look for christmas lights! We all decided to get in the christmas spirit and see some great lights so we got hot chocolate and drove around searching for the best houses. we then stopped to look at the temple for jack and melissa's last time. they both graduated and were on their way to their next step in life. we will definitely miss u guys!




This year was our first christmas as a married couple..awww lol so we decided to open our gifts at home before heading on our christmas vacation to see our families.
It was so sweet, we had a little christmas program, opened the gifts, and watched a christmas movie together.






Our last event before leaving rexburg for the holidays was the dreadful move! ahhh we were excited to go to the village and start off again in a new place but definitely dreading having to pack everything, move in the snowy weather, and then try to unpack as much as we could before leaving the next day. It really turned out a lot better than i thought because we have such amazing friends! they all got up in the early cold snowy morning to help us move all our stuff from our old apartment on the third floor to the new apartment on the third floor. thanks so much you guys are awesome! we really couldnt have done it without all your help!

the night before the big move- this was only some of our stuff, we had so much, too much for only two people!

Aaron trying to show how sad we were lol

Halloween Partayyy! so we had all our friends get together for a halloween party. we had dessert, played games, it was a lot of fun.


Aaron and I were gangstas, totally last minute but turned out pretty good it was fun trying to act like a thug, Zenna was a nerd which was hilarious! mike and les were beckham and posh, miles and chelsea were mr.darcy and elizabeth, casey and his brother were beat up football players, good job chelsea it looked pretty real. chelsea and her friend were cute fairies and jack and melissa were parents and had a fake baby it was so funny. john and dani were micky and minnie mouse, it was adorable. good times!



Christmas Decorating!



This was our first apartment!






Even though we were moving soon we decided we still wanted christmas in our home so we did and i loved it. it was totally worth it!

BYU FOOTBALL GAME!- this was my first time to the game and even though i dont really like football sorry! lol i had a lot of fun! it was definitely cold though




Lawrence's bday! -Happy Birthday larry! haha we had him over for dinner and then we surprised him with some friends coming over and having ice cream cake. it was so good thanks mom and dad!







Twilight Finally! So everyone was talking about the books and i thought it was dumb at first but i finally tried reading the first book when we went to washington to sell. so i read the book in like a couple days and i was hooked! i ended up buying the second and the third book and read the second and im almost done with the third. i havnt had time this semester to read it but im excited to finish it over the break. So i had been waiting for the movie to come out and i really wanted to see it on opening night. Aaron ended up surprising me at like 11 at night and told me to get ready cuz we were going to see the movie. i was soo excited it was the sweetest thing he could do. He even watched it with me and actually liked it! i loved it! i could watch it over and over again!




This was the wierdest thing... we left our apartment to go and when we went downstairs we just saw a ton of tumble weeds blocking the whole way to get out it was crazy and kinda funny!



I think i was a bit more shocked about it than aaron was lol


Ok now thanksgiving break, this is gonna be long cuz we did so much. we were in utah with aaron's family for a week and it was a lot of fun.
