CHRISTMAS IS HERE!!!!

The holidays are my favorite time of year. I love the music, the decorations, drinking hot chocolate, the lights at temple square, the snow, being with my friends and family, and everything else that comes along with it! Although this will be mine and James's second Christmas being married it will be our first to celebrate here in the U.S. Last year at this time we were lucky enough to be able to travel to Lima Peru!! It was such a neat experience. But i must admit, Christmas south of the border is a completly different feeling. Celebrating Christmas in 80 degree weather and having Mcdonalds for dinner was definitly not what we are used to! Although I am happy to be home this year to be with friends and all of our family, I wouldn't change our experience last year for anything! So i was super excited that i got to put up our tree this year!! Even though it doesn't have any lights on it...yet. Both sets of lights i bought dont work, so i went ahead and put on the decorations anyways. You cant really tell from the picture, but it is a full length tree and does go to the floor. Our couches do a pretty good job at covering up the bottom half :)

So I hope that everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I know we will!!
