Merry Christmas

We splurged this Christmas Eve and went to the Grand America for breakfast. It was grand. I could not get enough of the fresh squeezed orange juice. It was so gourmet. My family tried so hard to pretend like we fit in. I think I gave us away when I almost threw up after eating a slice of grapefruit soaked in alcohol. Why do rich peoplethink that tastes good?
They have cloth towels in the bathroom! What the what?
The fam pondering about the complexities of Avatar.
The annual trip to the North Pole a.k.a. Utah Lake was wonderful. My Dad was convinced that there was a warm spring under the ice causing this ice meltage. He has a tendency to make stuff up to make him sound smart so who knows.

The night ended with us stuffing our faces with Seafood. Janelle still holds the record for eating the most coconut shrimp. I wish I could beat her. That will never happen.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.

Alaska


I am planning on going to Alaska in 2010. It's official. I plan on staying in this igloo at some point and watching the northern lights. If anyone has any interest in going with me or has any travel advice for me it would be greatly appreciated. I would like to go in September.

Logan

I have been living in Logan for a year and a half now and have loved every second of it. I am going to be taking on a new quest in Highland until April. I am so sad to leave Logan, even though it is only temporary. Here are some of my favorite moments that Logan has given me.









































Logan, don't miss me too much. I'll be back.
The gnomes have had quite a December. Here is a quick recap-

The annual 'walk the tree home'. It is always a success.

The epic Utah State game verses Byu. Go Aggies! The Spectrum was wonderful.

A weekend snowed in at my Aunt and Uncles Cabin in Sundance.

An early Christmas


It's been such a great month so far. I'm home with the family now and it is wonderful. I wish all my gnome girls and everyone else a Merry Holiday.
