1000 pictures

I took at least 1000 pictures in December.
I can't help it. I feel like I need to document every single thing that happens. It makes me so happy to take pictures.
Plus we had too many Christmas parties for me to even remember.
That explains all of the posts I have done in the past couple of days.
I am so excited to relax and get back to enjoying my simple life :)

Happy New Year!

My idea of the perfect New Year's Eve is...

watching the Utah bowl game with family and friends...

especially when we win!!

Dinner...

Movie...

Hanging out with friends with lots of sugary drinks

While Grandma and Grandpa watch the kids all night! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

Ugly Sweater Crhistmas Party

After 21 years, I am still so close with all of these friends. We were best friends in elementary school and we still have so much fun together. They are all very musical and artistic. We sat around and played the guitar, harp, and piano and we looked awesome doing it in our cool sweaters.

Rachel loving my sweater

I asked them to play Billie Jean and they just whipped it up and played it by ear. We had some amazing dancing by Peter :)

Delta Gamma Christmas Party

It was good to see my sorority sisters after Christmas. It was a fun night with lots of talking and food.

TACP 2011

We had our annual christmas party with Brian's friends which include my brother, sister in law, and cousin who is also one of my best friends. I have been friends or known most of these people since I was in middle school and they are more family to me than friends. I love them all dearly. We had one baby addition to the group (a big surprise to mom and dad), one pregnancy, and one couple continues to try to get pregnant, while another couple is hoping that they will not get pregnant. Everyone is at such different places in their lives but we are still so close.

Oh! Who caught these candid photos of us? We had no idea anyone was taking these.

Haha! No the 2 asians are not a couple.

Haha. Unicorns. Let's just say our white elephant gift this year was the best.

The guys and Tiff's awesome glasses.

The girls. Ignore the background :)

Here is a sample of what our white elephant gift was. This wasn't the exact picture but I think Brian would kill me if I showed you the actual picture we used.
