Temple Square

Sorry the picture is kind of blurry. It was sooo cold but I had my big old grey coat so I was warm. My mom bought me this coat and i used to not like it because it was sooo big, but I am glad I have it now.

Us in front of the Christus. This is a very special place for me.

So Dan and I finally got to go downtown to Temple Square and see the lights. We went on Friday with our friends Larene and James. We were greatfull that Larene drove too because after ourday we did not want to drive anymore. Early that morning we had tried to go out and do some errands but we got stuck three times and then when I was coming out of Old Navy we found one of our tires flat. Then when we got it fixed we came home and got stuck in our drive way. It was a very frusterating morning, but by the time we got to temple square we were in good spirits. It was fun to go see the Christus too since that is where Dan proposed. So that will have more special meaning now for me. Anyway it doesn't need to snow anymore now for a while. And we finally got to go to Temple Square. I was worried about not doing some of our traditons but I figure better late than never and it was actually more going the day after Christmas.

CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
Me, angie, ryan and Jaden coloring. Every year I buy a Christmas Coloring book and we color.Our Sisters picture, we usually take one every year. Dan was part of this one this year.

My cute niece Kaylie, Me, my sister Angie and my nephew Jaden.

Christmas Day was sooo much fun. Last year Dan woke me up at like 7:00 in the morning, and so this year I told him that we are sleeping in. So I think we slept in til 8:30. When we got up I had like ten Text Messages from my family and some friends wishing me a Merry Christmas. Dan was a such a sweetheart and gave me some great presents. In my stocking he put an ornament a new traditon that he started last year, and then he gave me a puzzle and a game, and some candy. Then he got me a ring, a sign from Seagull book, the movie Kung Fu Panda, and some sheep skin slippers. I got him Lego Indianna Jones, The New Indianna Joens movie, The movie Walle, the book Mormon Mythellaneous, and a new shirt. My mom gave me a new comforter, 90210 season 2, Jessica Simpsons perfume Fancy. And for my stocking stuffer she gave me an Old Navy Giftcard, some cute Christmas Kleenek and some lip gloss and some make up. It was a lot of un opening up our present. Then we headed over to my Dad's house in the freakin blizzard. And my sister Angie, my brother Ryan and my sister lauren and her two kids, and AJ came too. It was sooo much fun. We played games and pretty much ate yummy food all day. It was really nice to be with my family. Its sad that Christmas is over, it always goes so fast. But I love how FM 100 still plays some christmas songs on the radio and how some of the tv channels stil play some christmas shows. It was pretty cool to have a white christmas as well.

CHRISTMAS EVE

Dan and his parents and brothers Matt and Mike and Sister Leah.

Dan bowling on the WEE i totally kicked butt on this game!!!

My cute niece Hayley she was sooo excited for Santa to come.

Dan's brother Mike and our nephew Tyler playing baseball on the WEE.

Hi everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope you all had a wonderful day. I know our Christmas was really good. I worked til 3 at Seagull and then we headed over to the In-laws. When we first got there we played the WEE and I love it. Its soo fun. We played bowling and baseball and Boxing. Then the rest of the family came over and we had Cresent Sandwhiches and Louise's yummy chip dip. It has become a favorite and she also made a homemade cheeseball. Needless to to say the FOOOD was sooo yummy. Then we opened presents and just enjoyed being together. It was a pretty fun night. The best gift we got was Dan got a GPS. He was really excited. Now maybe we won't get lost so much. Thanks soo much Louise for getting him that. Then Dan and I came home and we watched a Christmas movie, and I have always watched Christmas Eve on Sesame Street every christmas eve since I can remember. But just like last year our stinking DVD player died and so we could not watch it so I was pretty sad. But thats okay. We also started a new traditon last year and we track Santa on the internet on NORAD and you can see where Santa is, its kind of fun. So we had a good Christmas eve.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas time with your family and friends. Thanks for all you have done for this year. All of you has touched my life in some way. May we remember Christ who was born on Christmas day and the Reason for the Season.

Christmas Is Coming!!!

Here is a better one. Don't you just love Dan's lounge around pants?

Sorry Dan looks scary in this picture. We had the hardest time taking them either I would have my eyes closed or Dan did this. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! That is what my sisters and I used to do when we got excited for Christmas. Every once and a while we still do it. I can't believe Christmas is sooo close. I love the last week before Christmas. Today we had our Christmas Concert in our ward today. It went really well and it was fun. I love singing in the Christmas program. Tonight we had some friends Angel and her husband Darrin over for dinner and FHE. We watched Mr. Krugers Christmas and read the Christmas story. I cooked a yummy pot roast and potatoes.. if I do say so myself:) Tomorrow night me and Dan are goign to go to Temple Square with our friends larene and James. I love going down there even though you freeze our butts off. Anyway I wil have pictures for you tomorrow. Hope you are all getting excited for Christmas.

Cause I always want to have the latest. maybe one day I will get the I phone but for now I am sooo happy for my new phone. Here is a picture of it.

Sunday

Its been a pretty good week. I wasn't too excited for the snow storm, but i know we need it. We were supposed to go to Temple Square last night but we did not get to go. I can't believe Christmas is sooo close. I am so excited. I have been watching all the hallmark and lifetime tv christmas movies. And my sweet husband even watches them with me. I have been soo good too and not peaked at any of the presents under the tree. When my mom was here for Thanksgiving she brought our presents and a my stocking stuffer and I have not peeked once. My mom called to check up on me and I told her I have been good. She was impressed. I am excited for our Christmas program next week in Sacrament. It should be good. Anyway hope all of you have a good week.

Festival of Trees

Dan in front of the Superman tree.

Thats right a High School musical tree. I told Dan I knew there had to be one.

We really liked this tree as you can tell. Here is a cute picture of us.

I can't remember the name of this one but I love the Patriotism.

Whoops sorry it is upside down. But this Tree was called, "A Cullen Christmas''.

I took a picture of this Princess Tree. I love that it is pink!!!!

Dan and I just arriving at the Festival of Trees.

Today Dan and I got to go to the Festival of Trees. It is a tradition that Dan and I have started. I had never gone to one until I met Dan and he took me there when we were first datin. This is our third year going together. I love going and looking at all the trees. We actually looked at all the trees today too. The last two years we have been tooo tired to see them all. I love going there and supporting Primary Children medical center. Its always so sad though to read the stories behind the tree and realized that all these people have died. But on a happy note we got lots of pictures and saw some great trees. So i will post some pictures. A lot of the themes for this years trees were, angels and snowmen trees. I can't believe some of the prices that the trees sell for. One tree sold for 26,000 dollars. We had a great time!!!
