CHRISTMAS!

We hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas.... We sure did Ü

CAROLING

Last night mutual was combined, so Shawn and I got to hang out together!! The activity was to go caroling... not ordinary caroling, though. We were pulled on trailors attached to cars with hey bales in them to sit on. It was a FREEZING nineteen degress and when we hit those main roads @ 35 mph it was almost unbearable! It was so much fun, though. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring our camera with us on the trailors, but we got a quick picutre of us when we arrived back at the church. Our faces were so frozen, it was actually painful to smile. Awww memories.



Can you tell that Shawn was ready to go home? Ü

FINALS ARE OVER!!

Tonight we had a celebratory dinner because both of us had our last final today. YUMMY chicken and brocolli casserole with (of course) sparkling cider!! It feels so great to be done for the semester!! Don't mind the exhausted looks on our faces (we were both up all night studying last night!!) Ü



Also, I know that you all could care less to see pictures of our dog... but she is our practice baby... and we just adore here Ü Most of you know we like to keep it colder in our home, so everyday we wrap Roxie up in her blanket and she will lay like this for hours. literally. It is so awesome! Ü

Allyson's Graduation

Shawn's sister, Allyson, graduated from BYU-I this semester; with a Communications major. We were able to drive down to Rexburg this weekend and attend the ceremony. President Uchtdorf addressed the graduates. It was a great ceremony. We are so proud of you Allyson Ü WAY TO GO!! Ü

Christmas Tree Stand

Scotty and Shawn decided to open up a Christmas tree stand to earn a little extra dinero for the holiday season. It went well and most importantly we had A LOT of fun doing it!!

The Result




The weather was absolutely wonderful and we got to enjoy beautiful cloud formations like this ALL day!! It was BLISS!!



After a very long COLD day of work there was still a lot left to do... findinig room for the leftover Christmas trees to sell later this week- but we still made that fun Ü





Also, thanks to my Mom for all of her help, a very important silent partner in all of this chaos... AND, thanks to Grandma for letting us invade your house with 100s of trees- THEE PERFECT location! We couldn't have done it without all of your help. Thanks!! Ü Ü
