First Ski of the Season!!

Well, we finally made it up skiing for the first time this season! We went up to Snowbird on Saturday and it was absolutely freezing, especially standing in line, but we still had fun. We could only take pictures at the car because it was so cold the camera wouldn't work!! We had to warm it up before we could get it to function (much like my fingers)!

Oh Christmas Tree

Here is our cute little Christmas tree! We have had an artificial one for the last couple of years, but this year we decided to get a real one. Isn't it the perfect tree? Smells nice too. I love coming home from work to a tree in the house, so festive.

It is so cold with all the snow lately. Skiing sounds nice and there is something cozy about bundling up. Every time I go outside I try to imagine summertime and I can't even think about being in a short sleeve shirt with sandals! It doesn't even seem like it will ever be possible. I am already looking forward to warm weather!!

Girls Day

So, some friends from high school and I have started a once a month get together. We all grew up in Kuna (Idaho) and went to school together, after we graduated we all ended up in Utah. It's so fun to keep in touch and keep up on what we are all doing. Last month we made earrings at my house and this month we made carmel apples at Libby's.

Here we are (Sherrie, Liberty and Holly) making a mess out of Liberty's kitchen!


My best work:)

Summer in review

With the holidays approaching and the cold weather settling in I thought it would be nice to re-live some of our summer memories.

We had the chance to go to San Francisco with our friends Steve and Emma and their little boy Luke. We stayed at Emma's parents house (thanks Steve and Sally for feeding us, being our tour guides, and letting us use your car!).

In Boise at my close high school friend Jessi's wedding, what a pretty bride!
