Christmas Time!!!

Haloo everyone! Well, its that time of year and I LOVE IT! Even though this year was a little different it was still magical and ridiculously fun :P I got to spend the holiday with my big brother Zach, his awesome wife Shellie, the dogs and our new baby Annabelle! She was so cute in her little outfit from Nana! Zach's friends invited all of us to their parents house for Christmas Eve where we went to temple square to see the nativity and lights, then returned to their home for a yummy turkey dinner and fun treats! It was kinda weird to spend the evening not with my mom and dad and the rest of the family in our own home but its ok :)

Anyway, after dinner we returned to Zach and Shellie's. We opened the Tholen's presents to us which consisted of silly Christmas books. Thanks Meggie, Tom, Daphne, Henry and Sumner ^_^ After just chillin and reading from one of the books, we decided to go watch Dark Night...sadly...I fell asleep and I don't think I was alone hahaha :p

I woke up at about 10:30 to find Shellie still asleep and Zach on the couch with Annabelle. Once we got all ready we opened our fun presents. And despite the fact that Mom and Dad are in Baltimore, I still was left satisfied with a fun, if little, pile of presents. Thank you so much Mama, I miss you and Daddy very much but I'm glad we can still have a fun Christmas apart. I got a cute vest, new tan uggs, a fun new pair of jeans, a sparkly black hoodie, a new red t-shirt, Labyrinth and a TOTALLY BAD ASS version of MACBETH!!!!!!!!! I think that and the vest were my top presents...kidding Mom! Hahaha, no. My favorite presents had to be the precious heirlooms that me and my siblings were given. Meg received the fun rubber stamp collection our mom had, Zach got Grandpa Rogers violin, and I got the rocking chair in my parents basement, Moms white triple scriptures and the nostalgic music box that was brought back from Germany by my moms parents.

I'm really happy with how this Christmas went, even with the unorthodox circumstances. Shellie made my favorite German pancakes and Z made tasty sausage. Now our quiet day has turned into Guitar Hero 3 (Shellie's present) and basketball hahaha hence the downtime giving me a chance to blog :P So I'm too lazy to thy and format a cute blog so all the pictures are going on a separate blog hahah Anyway! HAPPY CHRISTMAS everyone and have a WONDERFUL day!!!
