The New Year!!!

At my Dad's wedding!!! 
 Callen with our niece, Tess at my Dad's wedding the day after Thanksgiving.
 We decided to go to Huntington Beach while we were in Cali for Thanksgiving even though it was freezing.
 We went sledding in Saratoga Springs which was a lot of fun. This is Cal and our niece Peytie!
One of the gifts I got Callen. I also got him a massager and punching bag
My Christmas present! I love it! :)
Callen decided to carve the Utah Jazz into his pumpkin. It turned out pretty sweet!


The holidays were great and a lot of fun. We were able to go to California for Thanksgiving and spend time with my family. We were also able to attend my Dad's wedding while we were there. It was nice to see everyone. Unfortunately as Callen and I were leaving California to go back home to Utah I got very sick with the flu. It wasn't pretty throwing up on the airplane and in the Salt Lake Airport in front of everyone. Callen didn't start throwing up until we got home, which I was thankful for that way he could drive home while I tried to feel better, which didn't seem to work. Thankfully the flu only lasted a couple of days and we were able to enjoy the rest of time off school and work. Christmas we were able to spend it in Saratoga Springs, Utah with Callen's family. His brother and sister (Randy and Maycee) along with his parents were able to travel to Saratoga so we could spend Christmas together, which was nice. The holidays have been a great time for us to reflect on all of the many blessings we have been given and for the birth of Jesus Christ and also for the atonement. We are so thankful we were able to be sealed in the temple and to know that we will be together forever. We are thankful for our families, especially our parents for raising us and teaching us well. We are so thankful for the church and know the gospel has blessed our lives so much. As it is now a new year we have set goals for yourselves that we hope to accomplish and one of those is reading the scriptures every night. We know how important reading them is and hope it will be a goal all of you will set for yourselves as well. We hope this new year brings all of you happiness and joy! All of you mean so much to us and we want this new year to be a great one for all of us!!! :)
