The fun must come to an end...

The rest of Christmas break, basically Saturday, was spent visiting with old friends and playing catch up on meeting their new little ones. I went to lunch with my old roommate Kasie and her husband Scott and met her adorable little boy, Payton. Kasie and Iwent to high school together but we weren't that great of friends until we roomed together as freshman at BYU. We braved the land of 30 year old men together, survived Dare Yahtzee, and had many many many freshman moments, such as collecting Toilet Paper as payment to enter our apartment (what can we say, we were cheap and didn't want to have to buy it!). She met her husband Scott in that ward and they are still happily married almost 5 years later. Crazy it has been that long! We met at Cafe Rio, which is one of our favorite places we discovered when moving to Provo. Luckily, IF has caught up with the times and has one now too!I think Hallie looks absolutely chubby in this picture, especially compared to Payton! Granted, he is about a year younger, but still....
I also got to see my cousin Anneka and my friend Haylee that day. I have been close to these girls since the 6th grade and love them to death. Haylee had her second little boy recently, Jonah, so I got to meet him. She lives in Tennessee so we don't get to see each other that often, unfortunately for me. Jonah is the cutest little guy, with tons and tons of blonde hair. So funny. Jackson is also still excited to marry Hallie, which is good news. Later that night, we played games at Anneka's house with some of my other cousins. They introduced us to this game called Clue Charades. All I have to say is HILARIOUS. I have not laughed so hard in a long time. If you want to play, let me know! Sunday, we packed up and drove home after going to church with my mom. Dave played his cello in sacrament meeting and it was lovely, so that was a real treat. We were so spoiled this Chrsitmas (by we I mean Hallie), our car was packed to the brim on the ride home. Have a look:

Hals could just peek out from her seat in the middle. Otherwise, she was totally surrounded. She also got really crabby on the drive home and was screaming like no body's business. I must be super impatient, because I could only handle so much. Finally, I let her play with the laptop, thats how desperated I was to have her calm down. She totally loved that. What a little miss attitude!

Well, now that I have Christmas wrapped up, Happy New Year!!!!
