Thanksgiving

Since I had the whole week off of Thanksgiving from school, I got to go home!!!!! This year, everyone except Tyler and Mckenzie made it home. Curtis was able to come too! All of the extended family from Philly came up for Thanksgiving, so we had about 35 people at our house for dinner... including family and friends from the area too. It was so fun to see everyone and to get to spend time with the family.

 Here's a picture of Josiah and Jayden. They were best friends all week! We heard comments from one another like, "I love you Jayden" and "I love you Josiah."

Jayden was able to go to the store with Grandma and Aunt Mindy. He LOVED the attention and even got a little spoiled.

Here's a picture of Jennilyn just being cute.

We had Andrea take some pictures of Curtis and I. I look a little drugged up because at this point I probably was... I had a nasty cold all week

Here are some semi-serious pictures of us.

And some not so serious pictures...

 

 

 

 

 

I think we need to work on our serious faces... 

Good thing Christmas is just around the corner!!!!

 

 For Allie's birthday we went up to Kamas to dog sit at her parents house. We had a very calm, yet fun weekend just hanging out. We went shopping in Park City, watched movies, read, ate food, played piano, and just RELAXED. It was really nice to get to spend TONS of time with Allie. Since we're not roommates anymore, I feel like I barely see her! The picture below is the ice cream cake. For the past couple of years whenever we have a birthday we make my mom's Ice Cream Cake. Mmmmmm... We decided this year to only do it in a bread pan because there were only two of us.

Allie's parents left her birthday gifts on the counter the WHOLE weekend. This was TORTURE for her and she sneaked a few peeks when I wasn't looking.

This is the view from the kitchen window. This isn't the most colorful season up there, but it was a magnificent night sky and still very beautiful! Imagine it now with about 2 feet of snow or even with colored leaves on the trees!

Happy Birthday Allie! Thanks for being such an amazing friend!!

Last weekend I went to Ohio to visit Curtis! I flew out Wednesday night and then stayed through Sunday morning. 

It was such an awesome weekend! 

This was on our way home from the Dental Interviews on Saturday. We mingled with the applicants and their guests and then showed them around campus and the dental school. It was fun to just be with Curtis and to see more of campus. 

STUDYING. We did a lot of that...well...Curtis studied and I did school work...or took naps! haha 

The picture on the right is Curtis attempting to study.

Saturday night we made Jack-o-lanterns! Curtis's turned out awesome!

I had to leave early Sunday morning to head back to Utah. It was SO fun to see Columbus and spend time with Curtis. Thanks Brandi and Marie for letting me stay with you!!!

THE CIRCUS WAS HERE!!!! I haven't gone to a circus since I was really little and I don't remember much about it. So when Allie called asking if I would go with her, I was secretly quite excited. I didn't get any real good pictures, but it was pretty cool! The elephants were definitely my favorite! So AWESOME! It made me feel like a little kid again!

Naomi was in town for the weekend! She got me a ticket for the BYU game and we got to go cheer on our Cougars... (sadly, they lost) but to tell ya the truth, I was just so excited to be hanging out with Naomi I wasn't really even paying too much attention to the game. It was so fun to catch up with one of my favorite DC roommates! I miss living with this girl like CRAZY! I can't believe it's already been a year since I was in DC! Wow, how time flies!!!

For General Conference weekend, I went down to Spanish Fork and spent it with Chris, Kristine, Jayden, and Jennilyn. I took a BUNCH of pictures of Jayden and Jennilyn so I've posted a few. They were just being silly. LOVE, LOVE these kids. Thanks Chris and Kristine for letting me come crash at your house!

I asked him to try to keep his eyes open while he smiled.
Normally, he'll squint and then you can't see his eyes.
This was the result.... hahaha Those eyes are open!
