One time my friends started a dessert shop in Provo, UT

and that time is today

You should all come to their grand opening TONIGHT from 4 pm- 11:30 pm

They are in a cute little venue under the Alpine Village apartments, near wallaby's and such

and there will be some delicious desserts for sure

and I will be there, so you should come see me!

Click HERE for more information on the Sweet Connection's opening

and hopefully I will see you tonight!

I celebrated my golden birthday this year

and it was so good

It started at midnight at a dance party with Rachel, Dede and Mitchell

When I woke up in the morning I video chatted with my parents and Mitchell

while I opened my presents

I got computer engineer barbie

She has a laptop and an iphone

and she is awesome

I also got a tool kit so I can be a handy woman around the house

Mitchell's present is definitely one of my favorites
He is buying me some TOMS
I'm thinking these, or these, or these

Then I went to Tucanos with some friends
Then had a dessert party
Where I realized, for like the billionth time, that I have awesome friends
But seriously
they are awesome
So many people came to celebrate with me and people even brought me presents
My friends are so cute

Even though I didn't know I wanted it

and

didn't ask for it,

this was definitely an inspired Christmas gift

Thanks pops!

*Edit* Thanks also to my mother as this was not my fathers idea alone

Turns out I am really bad at taking pictures of things that people usually take pictures of

Like going home for Christmas

or celebrating your grandpa's 80th birthday

Oops!

Mitchell and Nathan being cattle or something

We found an elementary school

Nathan and Megan and I in our respective states. And me pointing and laughing at Megan that she lives so far away. (Don't feel bad for her, she lives in paradise)

In case you can't tell, the bumper sticker says, "Charlton Heston is my President" That bumper sticker is on my Grandpa's truck

Cousins! well really siblings and one cousin...

Just Dance 2 on the Wii. Notice that my mother does NOT have a controller and is simply dancing along, just for fun

Mitchell and I battling it out

Obviously he won. How could he not with moves like this?

How my dad and Uncle play Just Dance

How my grandpa watches us play Just Dance

My nephew Jonas, who is going to have a new brother in a couple of months!

Mitchell and I with the Logandale Community Christmas Tree

Mitchell "on the four corners"

Megan freaking out after Mitchell spit on New York, which is where Megan served her mission

My grandparents burn stuff instead of recycling

My grandpa's surprised face when he saw his birthday present, which was a headboard for his bed and a new bedspread and dust ruffle. Pretty sure his birthday was more for Grandma this year.
