Merry Christmas and on to a New Year!!!

Friend Gift Exchange! We had a fun little party:)

 

Christmas Adam and our very interesting gingerbread (aka graham cracker) houses:)

We also had fun playing some hilarious games, and going to flowrider!

 Christmas Eve was really fun! We took all the kids sledding in the backyard. Mom and I also went bowling with Shae and Jon! I broke 100 with 106 and Mom schooled us all with 147!! Scot and Dad were able to go skiing at the bird.. so the tradition lives on! That night we played games and watched scrooge. :)

 Christmas Eve 3AM sneak peak! It was toooo hilarious!

 Christmas Morning! Scot and I slept in until 10! We didn't even have Christmas until after church! I liked having Christmas on Sunday! It was really awesome to go to church, sing christmas songs, and take the sacrament. Christmas is all about Christ so it was neat to go to church and worship him.

 Classic Stairs Picture! Just the two of us out of seven!

 Christmas was sooo fun! I got a new phone and scot got a nice suit and shoes for big old NY!! It was amazing to be with the family so much.We missed seeing Mitch, Spence, and Parker this year! It was so fun to watch all the kids open their presents too! I made all the families puzzle picture books of the different families within our immediate family. It turned out really cute and I loved making it! I am so sad that Shae and Scot will be leaving us next year! Me and Ray will be the only two siblings out of seven in Utah. CRAZY. I love my family so much and it's hard to watch them all move on and move out....but they are moving on to bigger and better things! But it also scares me that I will be doing the same next year! Shae gave Mom this plaque (sorry the picture is dark...) that totally sums up Mom's motto: "Things will work out." Change stresses me out and I need to go into this new year with this motto: "Things will work out."

Talking to Parker on Christmas was soo awesome. We all really missed him this year. He is doing so well and sounds so happy! I am so grateful that this Christmas season Parker helped bring others unto Christ. 

After talking to Parker Christmas night, we went and visited Grandpa Fowler! What a great guy:)

 Mom and her Dad! She serves him so much!

Tis' The Season!!

This year for Thanksgiving we headed up to Wyoming! We helped with their annual Christmas Tree hunt the day after Thanksgiving! :)

Scot and Sarah

The girls!

The Marsden/Foote Fam!

Hahahah at Uncle Bob's scot dressed up and posed next to this deer to impress his friends that hunt ;)

We hiked up to Sinks Canyon!

So beautiful! I absolutely LOVE the awesome outdoorsy feeling of Wyoming! It was perfect for Thanksgiving! We had such a fun time playing games, eating food, watching movies, playing rock band, and just talking and laughing! It'd been a long time since we'd been up to Wyoming for Thanksgiving!

Me and Chan and Linds whipped out another set of matching outfits! Santa Style! There was a boy on the basketball team who had a pair of santa shorts that he would wear to every football game so when we found these santa shorts we decided to wear them to all the basketball games!

Santa Shorts at Cafe Rio!!

More matching outfits with the Santa shorts!

 Merry Christmas!

Christmas Sweaters: Walmart Specials!

 We were really festive this year!

 

Christmas Dance!! The group was the drill team! 

Hannah, Me, Linds, Bri, and Chan!

My date (Mike) and Chandler's date (Brit) are best friends and were practically on a date without us! Hahah they were pretty hilarious though.

Black and white ;)..... and yellow! Hahah Mike felt so bad his mom got me a yellow flower! Good thing he lost his red one at the beginning of the night or else it would've looked worse! It was pretty funny and I really didn't care!

Bri and Hannah!

Me and Jane after the dance! I drove with Chan and Linds and we made it for the last bit of the dance! Hahah we got lost! It was a pretty funny adventure! After we went to In-N-Out and a gymnastics place called RA. It was a super fun night!

Our BHS Acapella choir got to sing at the Abravanel Hall on Temple Square for Christmas! It was such a neat opportunity! We had a little scare as Mike Yates fainted!

We went and saw all the lights after as a fam! :)

The whole group- except JF.

Sisters! I'm so grateful they came to watch:)

Little B was the cutest! She was all bundled up in the stroller! Whenever I'd stop and check on her, I'd laugh and she would just smirk like this! She has quite the spunky personality!

Me and the girlies!

YW/YM Service Project at Frodsham Farm. They bus in a bunch of homeless people and throw a Christmas Party for them! They feed them soup, give them gifts, and have activities for the children .I was there but had to leave early so I didn't get to do much :( , But mom and I bought toys to donate! 

Temple Square again with the Fowlers! They took me to the Nutcracker earlier that day! It was so awesome!

The temple looked beautiful with all the lights around it! The most important light of Christmas is Christ. I am so grateful for my savior!

Senior Year So Far!!

 

Soo I'm a senior?! And it's already halfway over?! Is this real life???

 Getting asked to Homecoming! :)

Me and Chan and Linds got prime shirts at All-A-Dollar that say "I <3 Weekends."

The high school life!! Football Season!!

Jannnnne.

Weekend getaway to Lava Hot Springs!

Good memories on these falls!!

Hot Water Pipe:) hahaha

Gotta love the big pool with slides and platforms! What a fun weekend! :)

 And again.. Me, Chan, and Linds in our Pooh Bear Overalls we got at the DI. Yes we love dressing weird and we get plenty of weird looks. Live your life people.
