from chaos comes clarity

Whew! Christmastime has come and gone and I am left with the feeling that I have so much to be grateful for. I went up to my parent's house for Christmas and got to see my little niece Carly and my nephews Isaac and Nathan. They are all adorable, and I loved getting to spend time with them. 
To backtrack a little, Logan and I decided it was high time we went up to Zion again because we haven't been in forever, so we went up last week. It was super pretty and in the middle of the road we found reindeer! or...sheep...

Friday was the last day I worked before Christmas, and I dressed up for the occasion. Everyone loved it; I had people coming around the desk admiring my outfit and bringing their spouses over to see. I know, I'm so cute. ;) 

I drove up to my parent's house on Friday after work, and Saturday morning my mamma took me and my sisters to the spa where we got massages. ....ahhh......wonderful. It was relaxing and fun and I really don't see why I shouldn't be able to go like once a week. :) I'm already ready to go again. 


While I was in town for a few days, we went to my grandparent's house where my Grandpa busted out his ukulele and played and sang songs, we had dinner with my cousins, I got lots of playing time in with the little ones, and I never wanted to go back to work again. Ha ha. 

I was sitting with Carly and Isaac and Nathan one day and I got out some crayons so they could color. A few minutes of hard work later, Carly turned to me and asked "do you know who the 'inja tuytles are?" (Her "r"s come out as "y"s and it makes everything she says cute) I told her I did know who they are, and she held up this picture and said "Its us! we'ya 'inja tuytles!" How awesome is this picture? I love our little eye masks. 

We also went up to see the Christmas lights in Salt Lake while I was there, and on the last day we went to Ogden and went...indoor skydiving! It was the hidden present this year for Christmas and we got clues that led us to it. (which was funny all in itself- especially if you were there to see curtis' high-stepped running.) Flying was super awesome, I've been wanting to go for years and I'm so glad I finally got to. :)

They gave us a movie afterward of all of us flying, which is sweet, and you should watch the end to see the instructor flying around. he was nuts. I wish you could see how high up the tunnel we were in went. It was super cool. 

One last thing before I wrap this up- I made this dress for Sofia (Logan's little niece) and I was all excited about it until about a week before Christmas when his sister posted a picture of her and she suddenly looked doubled in size! I was convinced it wasn't going to fit, but in the end he sent me this picture of her in her dress (and the hat I made her forever ago) and she was absolutely precious like I knew she would be :) hurray!
