Dreams & Christmas time!

This isn't my usual post, but I had to post about it. A few nights ago I had a dream about random things. Today I decided to scroll through a bunch of random blogs. Then one just hit me.

Very hectic and stressful with the end of the semester, but Justin and I are very happy and confident in our future. Justin applies to nursing school in January, and we are hoping to move to Cedar City next fall to start the next chapter of school. We are anxious to be there and starting, but realize that we have lessons here to learn still.

Lately Lylia loves to try and dress herself. This pants as you can tell she got them nearly up, but they were on backwards. So funny!Fir my birthday we had cake from Maggie Moo's which is very evident on Lylia's face. It was seriously the most relaxing wonderful birthday. Even though I only got to see Justin late at night. Its good to be 24! Jennifer came up earlier and we went to DI, and then she got us some gourmet cupcakes. Which I must add were delicious. Here is a picture of one:




Oh also the biggest highlight so far of the month was a trip we took as a family to go on the Polar Express. The Heber Valley Railroad is made into the Polar Express at Christmas time, with elves, Santa, hot cocoa, and cookies! It was a cold blistery night, and it seriously made it feel like Christmas! Thanks again for the birthday present of going Justin! Here are some pictures. Lylia was terrified of Santa. Can you blame her. A man in a red coat going Ho Ho Ho. lol.
