We started our winter break by going to the dedication of the BYU-Idaho Center. It was amazing! The speakers were great and the building is incredible (it will be my new home this semester because that is where Ty will be playing basketball). Then we packed our things and headed home! We spent the night in Utah with Ben, Terri, and Olivia. The boys went to a concert so we had a little girls night! We watched movies, played with Olivia, and Terri cut my hair (I love it!).
The next day we drove to Reno and spent the rest of the week with my family. I just have to say, I love going home. I don't know why, but I was extremely homesick the whole semester. Going home was exactly what I needed! My mom sure kept us busy. Ty and I helped my her make tamales
and salsa. Every year my family goes caroling in spanish and we hand out chips and salsa to people in our ward. It's one of my favorite things about the holiday season and I'm glad Ty got to experience it this year. I'm sure it won't be his last time caroling in spanish :)
We spent Christmas eve with some family friends. All of the kids put on a Christmas pageant. So cute!
my brother was one of the wise men.
We opened presents with my family on Christmas morning
and then headed to Coloma after breakfast. In Coloma we hung out with family,
played all sorts of games,
snuggled,
and went to San Francisco for the day! The weather was perfect
We love walking around San Francisco. We stopped and watched some acrobats that were performing on the sidewalk
We also went to Chinatown which was quite the experience!
We spent new years eve at the Riverhouse. We loved being around all the kiddies and can't wait to hang out with them again!
Happy New Year!
You are so pretty! I think I'm logged in as Kiff but this is Jill. I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE THAT SALSA AND THOSE TAMALES. Send me awesome recipes please, my sweet little senorita. Love you.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun spending time with you crazy newlyweds!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jill, I'd love to have the recipes for those yummy tamales & the salsa...but I'm thinkin I just might need Lulu to come over & give me a private lesson so I don't mess it up!
It was so fun to have you come visit! Sorry you weren't feeling well! Glad you got some fun in before it really hit you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you wake up every day and can say "its all been a blast". Glad you enjoyed the Holidays. Loved seeing you. Great Salsa!
ReplyDeleteWe are happy to have you, like always! Tell your mom thanks for the Tamales! They were delish! It was fun to visit with you... we miss you already!
ReplyDeleteHow come everyone is so nice to you? I'm jealous! Maybe I need to learn to speak Spanish, make tamales and be sweet and quite like you then I can earn back the favorite girl-in-law title that I enjoyed for many years.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding... I love having you in the family even though you and Dara totally stole my fun title. And I wish I were as sweet as you! It was great seeing you and I can't wait for your summer out here - it will be fun to see you guys more often!
So much fun stuff! You guys sure packed it in. It was super great to visit with you at the River. Come visit us in Utah too! We'd love to see you!
