Merry Christmas (a day late) to everyone! This year was a fun Christmas! From family parties, to good food, to being in a good mood all season, and to the birth of our savior, I love everything about this time of year! and I can't believe there wasn't snow for Christmas, but I still enjoyed it anyway! For Christmas Eve my family always goes to Dinner and a Movie, this year we decided to try out the new brick oven in Layton and it was really good, we then headed over to the theater to watch "Little Fockers". P.S never see this movie with your whole family...We had everyone there; my grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, mom, dad, brothers! everyone! funny yet very bad movie! Here are my grandparents responses to the movie "No comment" and "I have to practice saying the name" haha it was fun though just to be all together with the whole fam! then onto Christmas day! it was really busy but good. Dallin and I started off at my house opening presents, then went to his house to open more presents, then back to my house to see Macie Jane, then back to his house to go to grandma Merna's house! it was fun to spend the day with family and see everyone! I'm sad its over.

Dallin opening his presents at my house! my parents go him tools, I got him a Jazz jersey and two jackets! Dallin also got a Jazz hat, sweat bands, shirt, and hoodie for Christmas! He loves loves loves his Jazz! and Dallin got me cute decor for our house! I love all of them!

SO AWKWARD I had to share it haha every year at the Jensen Family Christmas party Santa comes and when mine and Dallin's names were called he mad us kiss TWICE on his lap...while everyone looked on haha so weird!

This is a way fun game we played at the Haws Family Christmas party! its called cat and mouse..we are all the mice and Case is the cat in this one...he has to roll a seven, eleven, or doubles and if he does he slams a big lid down and if your mouse gets caught you owe him a starburst! it was fun!

True or False

I decided to play a good old fashioned game of true or false!

#1 True or False: Mueller got her mission call to Fukuoka Japan!?


This is True! My best friend Mueller and I both decided we wanted to serve missions and she just recently got her mission call to the Fukuoka Japan mission speaking Japanese! she will be leaving March 9th! I Love her so much! She is amazing! She will be going through the temple this Saturday and I am so happy I can be there and share this experience with her!

#2 True or False: I am serving a mission in the Stockholm Sweden Mission!?

This is False! I realize this may shock some people but I have chosen what I believe to be a MUCH better option!

#3 True or False: I am engaged!?

This is True!! (hence the better option) On Saturday Dallin took me up Farmington canyon which was where our first date was at and the first place we talked about getting married. The first time we talked about getting married we were up there watching a movie and right where we were there was a cement barricade with LOVE spray painted on it, so he took me back to that exact spot and he had a little present all wrapped up for me to open! It was a scrap book he made with all the things we had done and dates we had been on. There was ticket stubs from a concert and a movie, chop sticks from tepanyaki, our lagoon ticket, tickets from arcades (we love nicklecade), and just a bunch of things he had been collecting from our dates! It was so cute! He even stole a coaster from chili's! And after I opened that he proposed! It was perfect! I am so happy and can not wait! We are getting married February 26th!

Gobble then Hobble

Somebody pinch me because I can not believe it is already the holiday season! This year went by way to fast! but I love this time of year minus the having to drive in the snow part! But this year for Thanksgiving we got to have everybody join us including Jeff, Ali, and Q! This year our Thanksgiving was a little bit different... We celebrated in Las Vegas! Matthew was playing in a Thanksgiving Football tournament there so we all headed down for the week! It was so much fun! Thursday he played his first game and unfortunately lost but only to come back and recover the next day and bring home the W! It was really fun to watch him play because he didn't have to be an X man so he got to actually play something different! I also loved having Macie and Quinn together! They are so cute with each other and I can't believe how big they are getting! and I can't wait for Q to get back to Utah in a few weeks! Their time here was WAY to short! (p.s. Matthew is the one with the yellow sleeves under his uniform)

In Other news I celebrated my 21st birthday! It was a very good day! It started out great with my favorite and only sister bringing me breakfast, then it took a turn for the worst when I had to go to school, but then it got better when Meghann and Lacie took me out to lunch! I ended my day by spending time with my family and Dallin! they took me to Dinner! Yes, yes my day did revolve around meals but whatev I loved it! Thanks everyone!
