Girls Week!

I finished off 2008 with one of th funnest weeks of my life!!! :) With a few of my girlfriends from hairschool, we went up to Alexa's parents home in Eden, for a little get away. After the drive up, we headed to Dinner. We were in Ogden on the older blvd. And went to one of Alexa's favorite places. I cant remember the name of the cute little place to save my life!! But all that matters was the fun company and the yummy food! This Pic: Me, Alexa, Jordan, Connie, Madi, and KenzAfter dinner we went to the new expo in ogden, and went to a place called FLOW RIDER for Indoor surfing! OH my gosh, ive never laughed so hard in my life! It was hard!! So hard...infact, i was NOT good at it. But it didnt matter...it was a blast!JordanMadi, Connie, Me and Kenz

Afterward we headed up to Alexa's home and got in the hot tub for a bit, played games, and watched Notting Hill. I love Julia Roberts! :) We woke up in morning to this...Everything was sooo pretty!! We made crepes for breakfast and got in our winter gear!

We played in the snow for a while and then Alexas brother and friend hooked up a car hood as a sled to the snowmobils and took us on rides!!!This is us! Getting ready to HOLD ON TIGHT!Eric and Preston We has such a great week together! Much needed for all of US!

New Years I headed up to another Cabin with Abbey and her cousin. We made this awesome Louge, there was sooo much snow!!

Christmas morning I woke up fairly early. Santa had told us to not come up until nine! So i woke up tay and we read and played some ping-pong. After we went upstairs, he and I made breakfast and then we all ate together. We opened gifts somewhere around 10:30 a.m. Some of my gifts included....My running shoes, work out clothes, Some nice jewelry, perfume, and a couple shirts. Oh and of course we had aunt pam over for gifts. Its tradition. After we were done opening gifts we headed up to Steph and Jakes house to meet with the whole family.
