Christmas.

So, Christmas was a blast this year as always. I get so excited about decorating. And, I love to shop for people's gifts. We didn't have work on Christmas Eve, or the day after Christmas. It was no nice to be able to relax. It really flew by. For mine and Tyler's first Christmas, we stayed at his parents house. It was pretty fun. We slept in, got up and opened presents with his whole family, had breakfast and then went to my parents house.

Oh, here is our Christmas Tree at our apartment. It looks pretty barren, but it is covered with Tyler's Hallmark Ornaments. He gets some every year for Christmas. And I got some this year too! It was pretty exciting.

Here are some of the Hallmark Ornaments on our tree.

Yoda

Popeye

The Grinch

Harry Potter

Cooking Supplies

A Lighthouse

A Church

A car. Tyler has a million cars from when he was a kid.

We have some other really cool ones. This year, I got Raggedy Ann and Andy, and a toaster.
We also have Bilbo Baggins, Steve Young, and some other really cool things.

Who couldn't love Hallmark?
I Plan on collecting the Nostalgic houses, and making a tree just out of the houses.


Oh, and here is my snow village. I love it. It's my favorite
Christmas decoration.


Oh, now this is cool, Not only do they have a Christmas Village, you can do a
Spooky Town.

Which is my next project.

Cupcake in a Jar

So... Here is what I made for friends and co-workers for a Christmas treat.

Cupcake in a Jar
Vanilla Cake
White Buttercream Frosting
Chocolate Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting


And some Christmas tree sprinkles.
You Just eat it with a spoon right out of the Jar.



Delicious.

Birthday... December 22

Happy Birthday Ronda!!!

And for her birthday, Vanilla cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache and vanilla cream filling.

Jessica came home from Hawaii.
Ronda helped me jump my car while pouring snow.
And- I didn't have to work.


So I guess you can say it was a pretty eventful day.

The Big 25

Happy Birthday to the awesome H-Law.
25- but acts 17.

Oh, and Red Velvet cupcakes for Hailie's birthday, that were actually a weird green color.

Griswold Family Christmas

For our Christmas tree Tyler and I went up Spring City Canyon and cut down our own Christmas tree with my family. It was pretty intense. Except It's kind of a naked tree. It was really fun.
Here is my brother. He found a tree that looked good, so he cut it down and it was completely
barren on the other side. And dead. It was awesome. Tyler kept hiking higher and higher and higher. But he found us a tree. It's kinda of naked... but it's cool. It cost us a whopping 5 dollars. It was just like the Griswolds. We even watched Christmas Vacation a few days before this great adventure. Except my Dad did remember the saw, and we didn't get stuck under a semi. Oh, and- we almost had to tie the tree to the top of Tyler's car, but my brother took it in his truck and dropped in off on he and Laura's way home. They put it right in front of our door. We definitely couldn't have missed it. Tyler's mom Ronda gave us an awesome Christmas village, Nativity seen and decorations for our tree. I am not really prepared for Christmas. I have absolutely no gifts bought yet. OH- and, I got my car fixed because the water pump went out. It cost
a fortune. Definitely not what I wanted for Christmas. At least it's fixed.

Here is the Christmas tree Tyler found. Trust me, It looks a lot better covered with snow. It isn't as full as it looks.

Twilight- LOVED IT!

Look, I am really sick of people babying about the Twilight movie. For reasons like, "It's not as good as the book", or, "I don't like who they chose for Edward." All I have to say is, "Stop babying, you're annoying me; They aren't going to change the actor just because you don't like him so stop crying me a river." Everyone imagines him different because it was A BOOK FIRST. Also, he is 108 years old and he isn't suppose to look like a typical boy." They picked him for a reason. I personally LOVED it. I have already seen it twice.
For work, Alpine Home Health rented out the Thanksgiving Point Theaters and we saw it on Thursday at 7:00 P.M. It was so so fun. Hailie and I really did wear our prom dresses to the movies. It was awesome! We were the only one's there in our Prom dresses. And a lot of people stared. It's cool though. Here we are! It's a bit fuzzy.

I have to say, I did love Rob Pattinson. I thought he did a great job acting. I would first like focus on Rob's hair.

Love It! First off- When I think of an Edward, I think of Royalty. There has been a lot of King Edwards. It makes me think of nice hair, not the new day spike that every guy has. I pictured his hair being different from the typical guy. I think Rob Pattinson has AMAZING HAIR. Like in the picture. His hair is beautiful. And he talks really sophisticated. Like someone that is 108 should talk. I love him. And he looks excellent in a thermal. And his sunglasses.

Oh, and I loved Jasper. His facial expressions were awesome! Even though he just had one, "He looks like he is in pain." He was like a walking Zombie.

Oh, and then there was James. Excellent acting! He made an awesome evil vampire. I think his hair also really added something extra. I guess I just love hair though. Nice Muscles by the way. They were really something extra.

This part was super intense.
Almost as intense as this. Go see it. It really was good.

Cake decorating

Great news! I found out that Campus Craft and Floral offers cake decorating classes. I'm totally going to take some.

Time Change...

I never like the winter time change. It is only 8:00 and it seems like it's 11. I hate how it gets dark so early.

Black Friday

So, the count down for Black Friday has officially begun. Only 26 days left. This is basically the one day I wait for the entire year. Last year, Jordie Omer and I camped out infront of Circuit City. They had the best deals. and not as many people as Best Buy. However, I think that this year I will try to get a new laptop. Maybe. Tyler hates the long lines and the big crowd. But I love it. So I go shopping with the none other, Jordie Omer. Boy am I excited.

Just 3 things...

So today at work, Jan was talking to another nurse in the nurse's station and I heard, "Braces."
Which instantly sparked an idea...

Drum Roll Please...

I'm going to be Ugly Betty for Halloween.

Second- This place called Alpine Home Health rented out the movie theater at Thanksgiving Point for the Twilight release for some Offices. We get to go. Hailie said she thought she read some where it is a Prom Dress theme,Therefore we will be wearing our prom dresses. With a few minor alterations on the sleeves. If no one else wears there prom dress, would you mind sitting next to me in mine? It's a little poofy. No big deal.

Third- I recently picked up a sewing hobby. Here are my next creations:

Pretty Exciting.

Tyler has only ever had one request for a blog entry; "Will you post a picture of me with long hair." So here it is. Tyler recently decided he wants to grow his hair out at least this long again.


I also got a new do... I chopped about 6-8 inches off and it took 3 seperate hair cuts to get it just so. The first from Becky Lee, and the second and third from my very own mom. My mom is the awesome at cutting hair. I think I may chop a little bit more off still and I am in need of a dye job.

So, I got my wedding pictures back yesterday and I love them. Our
photographer Tom Kline (Who conveniently is my uncle) and his daughter,
Jessica Hansen took a ton of pictures. They turned out great!
The day went by too fast. I loved it.

So, This is the only time ever, that I will ever be seen kissing in a picture.

I swear that is real lace. There's no hidden zipper. It takes like
20 minutes to get into that baby.

This is Jessica, She helped Tom take pictures.
I absolutely love this picture of her.
