My Birthday!

On my birthday we woke up early (not fun) and went snow shoeing. I had never been before but it was great. The mountains are beautiful especially when they are covered in snow. And spending time outdoors and in nature is always fun. Wasn't it the most beautiful day?

After we got back from snow shoeing we had to get ready quickly. For Christmas my grandma and grandpa took us along with my uncle Alan to Hello Dolly. It was at a dinner theater which was lots of fun. And Hello Dolly is always fun to watch!

We finished off the perfect night with homemade cheesecake that my mom had made. It's my favorite birthday cake and definitely did not disappoint.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

If you ask anyone, you will know that Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I count down starting the day after Christmas and I can't wait to put up decorations and sing Christmas music.

This year we spent Christmas with my family in Colorado. My grandma said that having me and her sisters there for Christmas was like having the excitement of little kids without having kids there.

That's probably because my sisters and I still like to figure out Christmas presents before we open them and play the Christmas game and the Christmas tree game.

While in Colorado we were able to do lots of things together. There is a lake right by my grandparent's house and we walked around the lake on afternoon. It was beautiful.

We were also able to talk to Dan's brother Julio. He is on a mission in Canada and it was sure fun to hear his voice!

Dan and I are looking forward to many more Christmases together! Spending time with family is the best way to spend the holidays and we are constantly reminded of the amazing families we have.
