(I must forewarn...TONS of pictures) The day after my work party (Dec. 10) we had our Dental Hygiene Christmas party. I was a little worried about it, but it was AWESOME! How I got so blessed as to go to school with the amazing 13 girls that I do amazes me. Katie and Julie mostly planned it and they did so great! We had Costa Vida (my fave) for dinner, with plenty of desserts. We played "In the Dental Hygiene clinic you will probably see..." sang to the tune of "the Twelve days of Christmas." Which brought out the most talented Dr. Veit I have ever seen. Then blindfolded musical chairs (Thank you Ellen). And finally, White Elephant gift exchange with some of the most hilarious presents I've ever seen.

The beautiful decorations! Thank you Katie and her chargers!














Dr. and Mrs. Ord. The cutest couple you'll ever meet.














McKenzie, Joyce, Aubrey, Mrs. Veit, Katie, Mrs. Schiffman. That is a good lookin group!














The reaction to Summer's ugly sweater.














Summer's "ugly sweater" (I'm pretty sure that was a tribute to Mrs. Knight).


















The dinner line. Oh. My. Costa. Vida.


















My table. Sarah, me, Jessica, Mrs. Mecham, Kristy.















In the dental hygiene clinic, you will probably see..."Four hay, hay, hay hay's"


















"And one doctor amidst the ladies!!"














The "ugly sweaters" who then participated in...














Blindfolded musical chairs.














And the winner...Mrs. Dowd!!


















For some reason, we all hopped into this pyramid, I'm not sure where the idea came from, but here we are.














I really like this picture too, so here we all are again!!














This is my prize. A baseball trophy from 1994. I was really excited if you couldn't tell.


















It says "from the trailer of Summer Davis." Oh my. Please don't ask.

Tis the Season

Holy Christmas parties! We've had a lot so far. One of the first ones, though, was three weeks ago. My work party. It was at PF Changs (yum!). Aaron spoiled us silly (thank you) and the decorations were beautiful (thanks Kalei!!) We had so much fun. Thanks Jon for the wonderful gift (it keeps me warm and smelling great!) And Angie and Rhett for the lipgloss especially!

Frankie, Tina, Scott, and me. Frank and Scott had a good time talking about the cows and Birdseye, while Tina and I talked about Jose (said Joe-say).














I told Aaron to look, and this is the smart alike smile I get.














Nikki was so awesome and getting pictures of everyone, so since she was stag, I took a picture of her!

Christmas Devotional and Temple Square

I love Christmastime and there is no better way to spend it than listening to the first Presidency and walking around temple square. We went with some friends (Andrew and Bridgette Long) from our ward. It was a little cold, so we didn't spend much time in Temple Square, just walked through it really, but I love listening to the three talks and listening to the beautiful Mormon Tabernacle Choir. There are just a couple of pictures, since I (evidently) take pictures in embarrassing situations.

The pretty Christmas lights in the background. (And our red noses to match!)

Ava and Kai

My cousin text Mallory and asked if she could babysit, but Mallory was busy. When I found this out, I made Mallory text her back and let her know that I could! Yes, I love babies and kids and I'm past the point of them making me less baby hungry. So, I babysat these two DOLLS! I loved them, they were so good. I played games and watched Princess movies with Ava while Kai pretty much just hung out with us, he was such a good baby. Here are some pictures of our fun night!

We played "Pretty, Pretty Princess" and, of course, Ava won. Isn't she darling?


















Kai was pretty much like this all night, unless he was hungry and tired, which happened only twice.


















Brother and Sister. She was so cute to Kai and helped me take care of him all night long, like a mini-mom.

Snow+Camera=

A real snowstorm hit on the Saturday night we were with Mal (again, Mom and Dad soaking up the rays). I love snow and taking pictures, so they went perfect together! I tried to get a cute picture with Tippy and it didn't work out too hot. But it was fun...we then had hot chocolate which is the best thing to do (Janae, do you agree?) anytime and everywhere!
Picture from the timer! I was so proud of myself!














Me and Scott...look at those flakes! (It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...)














One of the fifteen attempts with Tippy. She is so hyperactive!!

BYU

While Mom and Dad soaked up the sun in Hawaii, Mallory and I froze our buns off at the BYU vs. Air Force. It was totally fun. We got so much food! And yes, BYU won. They were about to choke (just like every game in the year) but luckily, were up by so much that they didn't lose. I love BYU, don't get me wrong!

Let It Snow

How much do I love the hot tub when it's snowing? A lot. Therefore, we went to my parent's on one of the first days that it snowed. Here are a few pictures from our fun evening.















This is the only clear picture we got. And just so you know, we are incapable of not pulling faces.
