How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Tonight called for a Christmas movie, but it had to be a short one.  So I decided on Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  ...the cartoon one.

Good Morning!

This is what I saw when I walked out to the parking lot this morning...

Festival of Lights

What a great start to the Christmas season. After work today, a group of us got together and went to the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork. We climbed on a trailer with hay (I bundled up to make sure I stayed warm) and enjoyed the lights to start off this wonderful time of year.

After seeing the lights, we went back to Jen's house and watched Elf. What a fun night!

Thanksgiving Dinner

I ate way too much food today for dinner. I was determined to make a point (to people who shall remain un-named) that I can, in fact, eat a lot of food, but I half-way regret it. I felt pretty miserable afterwards and could hardly move. I did eat a lot though and better be able to make my point, and of that, I am proud. However, I am reminded of why I don't eat a lot on a normal basis...my stomach is just too small and doesn't want to hold a lot. But that's okay, because if I don't eat too much, there's just that much more for you, right?

In an attempt to make this point, I decided I should take pictures. Because of my usual inability to eat a lot, I thought that in order to prove it, I had to have good evidence, and a picture is the best I could come up with. So, see for yourself...

Before I started eating...

Once I couldn't eat any more...

Pie came about two/two and a half hours later. Honestly, I didn't feel the need to eat the pie, except that I can't have a Thanksgiving without at least one slice of Pumpkin Pie. And after all that amazing food, I don't feel like I need to eat for days...

Until next season...

Yesterday was the last home BYU football game for the season. I'm pretty sad about it. The season has gone way too fast. There are still a couple more games left...Hawaii in 2 weeks and the bowl game, but they aren't here. It was a fun game...very cold...but still fun.

And I got to spend some time with Jared. I haven't watched a game with him since we had seats together in 2009. It was so much fun to have him around this time. I love my cousins!

Getting cold...

Last night was a freezing cold, late football game.

The previous game was in the middle of the day, and it was warm. We were lucky enough to sit by an end with shade, and that's where we were for most of the 4th quarter.

Last night, I bundled up in layers and layers and still managed to freeze. Ok...really, it was my fingers and my toes that froze, but that's enough to make one miserable. I did, however, find the opportunity to wear the hat I crocheted for football games this year. That was lots of fun.

It's a good thing I love football, otherwise the night would have been miserable.

Love these two!

Today was the most fun wedding I've been to in a long time. This is how the day went:

Get to the temple and inches of snow. It was beautiful, but really cold and heels were very hard to walk in.

After the sealing, we took pictures in the snow...again, very cold.

The luncheon and reception were at Eldredge Manor. For lunch, I was at a table right by the window. This is the view I had of outside...beautiful Fall colors with a touch of snow...just beautiful!

Before the reception, we took pictures. The girls were first, and then we went inside to warm up. We did, however, want to watch the boys, so we did...I'm not sure they saw us, but we definitely had fun creeping on them. :)

Then we wanted to watch as James and Katie got pictures taken...again from inside because outside was freezing!

I stole a minute during a break of the line to get a quick picture with the wonderful couple. Seriously, two of my favorite people. I'm so glad I got to be part of their day! I just love them.

We played and played all night. We bridesmaids were crazy, but we definitely had lots of fun.
