Ho Ho Ho.

Happy new year!! And merry Christmas. Haha I feel like the holidays were really stressful this year, probably because instead of having one family Christmas party to attend we had the christensons, frandsens, hermansens,and then JUST my parents and then Ryan's parents. Thinking back on the holidays I can't help but realize how lucky I am to be apart of two absolutely amazing families. M family, of course, is absolutely amazing. But Ryan's family is more than i could have ever hoped for, they have welcomed me into his family like it was the most natural thing in the world, I have never once felt like an outsider and I think that is something not many people have (:
Well back to the holidays: I'm really not good with dates, or sequences of events so this will probably be a huge mambo jumbo. Haha

Frandsen Christmas:
The 23rd of December was the Frandsen Christmas party, I was really excited because it would be the first time I would be able to meet a large chunk of Ryan's family. I was also excited to see kaden, beau, and jace- because seriously they are my favorite part about Frandsen get togethers (: we drove up after work and thankfully made it through Utah county traffic alive,and sort of on time. We of course, had to stop at the mall for some last minute Christmas shopping( luckily Ryan and I had all of our shopping done in November).. I got an orange Julius....mmmmmmhmmmmm. Finally we made it to salt lake, and to the party. It was full of introductions and I don't remember half of the names, I promise I will get them all one day!!! And really yummy food. Beau was attached to my hip the whole weekend, seriously and kaden was attached to Ryan, which I think he handled pretty well, (Ryan has this weird adversion to little kids he has like a 5 second attention span with them and then he's done(hence the 4 year plan NOT involving any babies),I am on a personal mission to fix that and possibly shorten that sentance! Anyway I was glad to meet Ryan's family and to spend the first of many December 23rds together.

Christenson Christmas:
Every year for the party we have a talent show, my talent this year was finding a husband...BAHAHAHAHA JUST KIDDING. But really neither Ryan or myself participated mostly because we are just tired, planning a wedding is exhausting. It's fun and such a happy time but now that i am starting school again I just have no energy. We had the party at city hall(surprise surprise, it's not like my aunt is the mayor or anything) haha. And it really was fun, I still don't know half the people that were there but that's okay.

Hermansens Christmas:
Christmas eve was really fun, I just love the holidays and was happy to be able to spend it with amazing people. We had amazing food and Santa came by to see all the little kids, Ryan told me in years past he would go sit on Santas lap and ask for a "naughty girl"for Christmas, this year he wanted to tell Santa thanks for coming through, I thought I was gonna kill him. Haha

New years was spent in Vegas, which I'm still sleepy from, I think that trip deserves a post of its own....
