Wow, what a month!! At first we were super busy with school and working, and then with traveling. Garret finished up his fall semester and is so excited that he gets the winter off. He's been going all year so it will be good for him to have a little break. I was seasonally working at bath & body works, and loved it! It's so nice to have smells that you actually like at work. Plus, I got some super sweet christmas gifts for some of our family.. I hope you all enjoy them! Then for the traveling we went to Salt Lake City, Utah the weekend before christmas. My immediate family decided that they wanted to see the lights this year and so Gare and I tagged along. I can honestly say that was the most fun I've had in a long time! We just did simple things, but it was just so fun. We went to lunch at the training table, walked around the gateway mall for a bit while my sisters went and got build-a-bears, checked out the joseph smith building and luckily made it to the joseph smith movie (we had 5 minutes till it started, talk about good timing!), then we went and saw the lights at temple square, dinner at olive garden, and back to the hotel for swimming and presents! Busy day, but also one of the best days ever. We took some cuuuuute pictures....

The next day we went to a four generation christmas party with the most delicious food ever and then to my aunt's the next day. We got home about ten and that's when the food poisoning hit. Gare got it first and I felt bad, but I kinda giggled for one second and the next thing ya know I have it too... WORST NIGHT EVER. Seriously.
We got two days to recover and then we were off to twin falls for Hayley and Steven's wedding. Thank goodness food poisoning comes and goes really fast! They had such a heart warming wedding. I cried, and of course Gare laughed at me. I really wish the best for them and their new marriage.
From there we went to the Kerby's for a nice relaxing christmas. We got so many nice things and we're so thankful for it all! I loved that Christmas was on sunday this year because we got to go to church. It was just good to remember and have Him in our minds and hearts that day.
The night before we left we played apples to apples with Lisa and Terry. They all had never played before so I taught them, and it was such a blast! Lisa laughed so hard at the silliest things and Gare told me he had never seen her laugh that hard. Haha it was hilarious! I'm glad they were having fun cause I know I was!
