Holidays!

The holidays flew by this year! It was kind of crazy how fast November and December went.

For my birthday, a few of my friends planned a girls night to Benihana! It was fantastic. There were 9 of us girls who went, and we had a blast. That night a couple of us had a sleep over. It was so much fun acting like I was 12 again!

For Thanksgiving, we decided to take the Wednesday before and go to Disneyland! My brother, me, and two of our close friends, Nick & Karen went out for breakfast then drove to Disneyland for the day. It was a lot of fun. It was cool out, so there weren't a ton of people there. We also found out that Karen was pregnant! On Thanksgiving Day we went over to Josh and Lacy's house with about 20 other people, and we all just had a big friends/family Thanksgiving. It's hard being away from family at the holidays, but we have such amazing friends out here that we almost don't notice! They are honestly like our second family!

Christmas involved being at the church a lot. We didn't do a big Christmas production this year, but each week we had a different theme. On Christmas Eve our church has Candlelight communion. We had 3 services this year. My friend Jess also came into town from Ohio for a few days over Christmas break. We were able to hang out, which was so nice! It has been so long! We went over to Nick and Karen's along with some other friends for Christmas Eve chili and then on Christmas Day too! Jess left Christmas morning, but it was great seeing her again. A group of us went over to Nick and Karen's one more time for New Year's eve.

All in all, the holidays were amazing!!

Thank you to my friends and family for doing that for me!!
