A New Year

We didn't take any pictures on New Year's but we were pretty busy. In the morning we ran some errands and then in the afternoon we went to Cabella's and IKEA with Maria and Tim. We tagged along because Brian wanted to get out of the house. As soon as we got home we had to hurry and get our house cleaned up and make the food for our party that evening. We got home later than we had wanted to so we were pretty rushed. Again, we made hors d'oeuvors to eat and played some games. My sister Maria and her husband Tim came over and so did Jackie (my old roommate) and her fiancee Daniel. Later our other friend Sena came too. Maria and Tim brought some pretty fun games and I really enjoyed playing them! I could have played "Like Minds" all night. It was pretty funny!! Then at midnight we watched the ball drop and banged pots and pans outside. Then we ran back into the warm house and drank our sparkling cider. It was a pretty fun evening but I was getting tired and wanted just one day to relax and not do anything!!

The next day I tried to wake up for the Rose Parade but I slept through most of it after I ate breakfast. I tried watching it when the rebroadcast it but I couldn't seem to stay awake through that one either. It doesn't really help when you're laying down on the couch I'm sure! I finally got myself up and got ready for the day. Then I went and took some engagement pictures of Jackie and Daniel up American Fork Canyon. It was pretty cold outside and we were in some pretty deep snow at some points but I think the pictures turned out pretty good. Or at least that's what they told me after they got them developed. I'm now looking forward to the upcoming weekend and hopefully get to relax some! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and look forward to a new year ahead!!
