Big Kristen

This post is not about what you (meaning my family) probably think it is. It's about my teddy bear, Big Kristen. I just found him/her/it again. (There's really no gender involved here.) MEMORY LANE. I named Big Kristen after my cousin Kristen. I'm not really sure why, but mom says I liked naming things after people I really liked. If you were noteworthy, in my opinion, you got a stuffed animal named after you.  Needless to say, the majority of my stuffed animals were named Abby.   Narcissistic much? I think yes:) I also had a cat named after my best friend Courtney.  Man, I miss that. Anyway, that's my nostalgic stuffed animal story. :)

Christmas vacation

Day1. CHRISTMAS!!!! It was awesome. I love Christmas. Soo fun:) Plus, it was Lucy's first Christmas, and she was hilarious. She got a doggie jawbreaker, but we had to eventually confiscate it becasue she was getting a little obsessive. And it smelled terrible, but that's really neither here nor there..

(skip to the 28th)

2. First day in Utah! We got up at 4, had our flight delayed, and got there around lunch. Sarah, Matt and I watched Star Wars (for the first time!!!) and went night skiing at Powder Mountain. Super fun! I'm glad I had that day to warm up so I wouldn't do really bad with the whole family on Monday. All about image. Oh, and then Matt and I watched The Empire Strikes back. Sarah started it, but she didn't make it all the way through.

3. Gunderson Partaaay! Woohoo! We discovered that we aren't very good ice skaters, but its ok. I DIDN'T FALL ONCE.  Awesome party:)

4.Ward-crashing. We went to Uncle Jeff's ward on Sunday, and I'm working on convincing Mom to let us move there...

5. More skiing! I was tearing up that mountain!!!  I. Did. Amazing. All there is to it. Aren't I humble? The Jensen's came over for New Year's festivities, and we watched Return of the Jedi. We rebellious teenagers stayed up until 11:00 waxing a snowboard. Party hard, that's us.

6. New Year's skiing. First off, Sarah and Matt left me on a pretty hard run at Snowbasin. NOT COOL. Matt found me thug, and we made our way to the bottom in one piece, and saw a dead moose along the way. Lovely. After dinner, Sarah and I went up to the Liston's house for a game night. It was so much fun!

7. Day off of skiing, We watched The Empire Strikes back again so Sarah could see it.

8. Another day off. I wandered the house all day.

9. Skiing again! I went on some new runs this time, and had songs from Newsies stuck in my head. After skiing we went to Jeff and Bonnie's house for games and played TriBond. I actually got a few right! Woohoo!

10. Dad, Sarah and I went skiing some more :) Still fun!

11. We all went shopping and chilled. Oh!!! And Sarah had a....wait for iiiiittttt......wait for iiiittt......

DATE. She can tell you more.

12. We all crashed the ward in Sandy. I went to Sunday School with Anne, except it was the 12 and 13 year old's class. Oops. I was undercover. After church, we went to the Jensen's house for dinner.

13. Last day of skiing:( We ate lunch with Jon, Adam, and Adam's friend. It was great:) I feel like I'm a pretty good snowboarder now. Again with the humility.

14. Airport day. Ew. All I'm saying.
