Christmas Morning

Both Mike and I got gifts that will require a lot of practice before we can really appreciate them.

New Camera

Thanks to mom and dad for a fabulous Christmas gift.

The Logan Temple

Snow work

The snow has provided all our necessary workouts for vacation ... snow chain squats, shoveling shoulder presses, and snow angel spinning. And in all honesty, I am sore.

Logan

After a two harrowing hours driving through the snow, one annoying pair of chains, three Christmas cds on repeat, fifty texts from Katie's boyfrieds, and one bag of moose much, we made it to Logan. It feels good to be here with family. In our first twenty-four hours we have started a snowman with good intentions and then left dad to finish it, only joining again to add the facial decoration; we have shopped at the mall and then shopped in each other's suitcases; we have simulateously mocked and adored both High School Muscial movies (a special nod goes out to my mom who sleeps through every movie, even at the theater, but finished both of these movies awake and singing and an honorable mention to my dad who loves cheesy movies as much as his four girls); and we have spent hours in transitory conversation telling stories - most of which involved the dating adventures of my cute and single sisters and lots of trips down memory lane.

The Snow Came

The snow really did come today, and in our excitement, Mike and I quickly grabbed what we thought was necessary for playing in the snow. Upon meeting at the door, we found that our outfits and accessories were very different. 

Let it snow

News of snow has been the hot topic around Portland this week, but we had to go to the mall to find snowfall.  Perhaps tonight is the night that will let us take pictures in real snow.  Here's wishing. 

Put Your Arms Around Her

I have the cutest sisters - all three are phenomenal.  But there is something about Meg that just makes you want to put your arms around her.
