So I decided I should do a different update..Like something besides Manic Monday so here goes...This year for Christmas we had almost everyone home. The only people who weren't here were Joe and Melissa. So we did pretty good. When Cody came into town I got to spend a day with him! We went to get christmas shopping and had breakfast. It was a so much fun to hang out with him! Normally on Christmas eve we go caroling but this year we didn't for some reason...we stayed home and watched the christmas story, I had never seen it before and i really liked it. Oh and Carter came home on Christmas eve and that is when we watched the christmas story. anyway moving on...we also normally stay up all hours of the night to play games but we didn't do that either...Christmas morning we got up and opened our presents. I got a bunch of clothes from DI, a sign to hang in my room that says "Princess daughter of a Heavenly King", the movies stardust and no reservations, a couple CD's, a shirt and set of earrings from levi, a shirt from carter, a BSU hoodie from cody, and my favorite present...a book of all of my siblings testimonies. I cried through the whole book! It was the best present ever! Then after all the presents were opened we went to Micah and Cori's house to have waffles with strawberries on top with everyone! Then we went over to Grandma Russell's house. She didn't know it was christmas and I had to tell her to open her presents. After that, Carter, Logan, Levi and I went to Benjamin Button. It was pretty good but I wouldn't recommend it just because it is 3 hours long and I got distracted during the movie because it was so slow. It was interesting and pretty cool but you can wait until it is in the dollar theater! The rest of my break was a lot of fun...I won't go into a lot of detail because this is getting rather long. I will tell you that for Cali's birthday (dec. 31) we went sledding at her uncles

sledding mountain place. You get a tube and then a rope pulls you up a mountain. Then you choose from 6 lanes to go down and it is a lot of fun. We were there for two hours and then we went and had lunch in a church parking lot and then went to Cali's house and played games and then we went to red robin. then came back to cali's house and waited until 11:59 so we could start counting down to the end of Cali's birthday! haha! So my break was a lot of fun. Now I am just preparing for finals coming up next week and then it will be a new semester!! Oh i forgot to mention one thing. I went to the doctor and i have to get my tonsils and adenoids out on the 3rd of feb. that will be exciting......
