Melissa, Andy and the kids' Blog

My friend David decided to carry me out kicking and screaming, and then he threw me in the snow. I did nothing to deserve this!!! :) Kate and I did our hair like the Who people from the Grinch. We had a cocoa and cookies party. It was yummy. We got to see the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert. President Monson is walking/waving in the front on the floor. Kate and I at Temple Square. My FHE group went caroling to some elderly people in the neighborhood. A few cried. Some begged for more. We even got to be a part of an FHE group for elderly people. It sure brought the Christmas spirit to me. My roommates and I decided to take pictures by our Christmas tree last Sunday after church. (Melissa, Serena, Kate)

For Thanksgiving I went down to Las Vegas to be with my dad and family. We actually went to the Valley of Fire on Thanksgiving with my step-mom, Darlene's extended family and did some hiking. Unfortunately my batteries were dying that day, so I didn't take any pictures there. On Thanksgiving night, my brother Mark came over to see me. He tortured me by giving me a massage. It actually was very painful, but afterwards I felt much better. We took a few pictures for my mom's Christmas letter, and they are funny to look at because they look like we are a couple. After the massage, the whole group of people at my dad's house (15 or so) played Apples to Apples. It was really fun. Instead of hitting the stores on Black Friday, we went to some warm springs and played in the water for a while. Then we headed to Overton for more turkey and pie. While there, the youth and young adults had fun climbing this big tree. This is my half-brother Taylor and I up in the tree....
