First of all, I want to say Happy Birthday to my Mom. She turned 50 on December 13th and looks FABULOUS!!! Don't you think?
My sister (Jenn) and her two boys (Landon and Conner) came from Boise to spend some time with us. It was so fun to have them here for so long, but Landon got really sick and couldn't hold anything down for around 48 hours. He ended up going to the hospital on my birthday. Both the boys were really clingy to Jenn because Landon was sick, so he was getting so much attention it made Conner jealous. I thought this was hilarious, cause they would both try to get on Jenn's lap. So I took this picture.
For my birthday, my whole family came over and we had a big dinner in our lounge. I didn't get any pictures, but it was a lot of fun. We had chicken strips, mashed potatoes and salad. Then we had a "BTS" cake. SOOOOO good!!! It was a lot of fun except for the fact that Landon was so sick and in the hospital. I missed you buddy! Conner and me played in the storage lockers in the lounge. It was so funny how he would play in them like they were a play house.
I got totally spoiled for my birthday. Mark got me a new camera while we were in Arizona. I got lots of clothes and a bath pillow (which is sooooo comfortable, I have taken a bath almost every night) from my family. Jason gave me a really pretty glass dessert bowl.
Christmas was a lot of fun. We went to my parents house on Christmas Eve Eve. On Christmas Eve we had our Andersen Christmas party. We went swimming and had lots of yummy food. That night we came back to Rexburg to get Mark's brother, Steven. He spent Christmas with us because he had to stay in Idaho to work.
Christmas morning we got up, ate breakfast and got ready for the day. Then we opened presents. We got spoiled. Mom and Dad gave us a BUNCH of food storage stuff. That was AWESOME cause I am obsessed with keeping up on that. Mark got me a new hand mirror (cause he broke mine, ha ha), a memory card for my camera, "Wall-E," and a new stereo so I can listen to the Book of Mormon on CD. I got him a new electric razor (exciting huh?), a dart board and a WII game called "Zelda." He loves that game.
After presents, we made a fabulous Shrimp dinner. It was sooooooooooooooooo yummy!!!
After dinner we opened our sibling gifts. Chelsea had us and she gave us a really cool calender. It has pictures of the first presidency and the quorum of the twelve for each moth. I hung it in my bedroom cause it is black and white.
When we got home the day after Christmas, there was sooo much snow, we couldn't even get into our parking lot. It was at lease a foot deep through out the whole parking lot. This is a picture of our house after we shoveled the side walk. The snow drift outside our door was as high as my head.
So my wonderful daddy and brothers came up and helped Mark shovel all night. Jenn and her boys and my Mom and Chelsea came over to visit with me. After they were done shoveling, we had pizza. It was really good! This is the only picture I got, but I think it's cute. These are my highchairs. ;)
For New Year's we had some friends over and played games, ate and celebrated with sparkling cider and party poppers. It was a lot of fun. We had AJ and Heidi West and Chris, Hannah, Dylan, and Rylie West (no relation).
We invited my cousin Kayla and her husband Dave, but she ended up in the hospital with false labor. Then she had real labo today and had a baby boy. My cousin Kirstin also had her baby today, a girl. Congratulations you guys!!!
Last night, I finally decorated the top of my headboard in our bedroom. I love it!!!
Well, that was my month in a nut shell. It was awesome and I am soooooo excited for a new year. I have so much I want to accomplish, I don't even know where to start.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
