we hate pneumonia

My cute cousin karli has been sick for 3 weeks with pneumonia and has been in the hospital for 5 days! Everyone is going crazy without her being home because she is the life of the party! You can tell just by going to visit her at the hospital! She has handfuls of little gifts around her room, and always has friends, neighbors, or family members visiting her! She is so sweet and never complains about anything! She is so tough! 

Kars i love you so much and get better fast ok???

 

i thought i should share these old photos that karli found of us:

me and kars - my bestest friend growing up

she still played with me even though i wore a bunny necklace.

we took naps together even though i am a crazy sleeper

and we even locked ourselves together!

speaking of locks...

karli once "accidently" locked me out on her roof and then "couldn't" get the window 

open to let me back in.

But that's another story...

jk kars i still love you!

reason #124 why i love christmas:

you spend all day in your christmas pajamas!

marshmallow children bundled up so tight

I woke up at 7 AM this morning, Just so you know.

Haven't done that in a long time. And now i see why.
anywho...
today was lovely. Me and the fam, along with two other families, set out in the storm at 8 on the dot to McDougals' cabin just up the road from Park City.
The roads leading to the cabin don't get plowed, so we had to ride snowmobiles the rest of the way. We spent the afternoon riding snowmobiles. I was a first timer. And boy did i love it. We could not have had a more perfect setting to do this. The snow was beautiful and the trail was lined with tall thick pine trees covered in white fluffy snow. I just stopped at gazed at how beautiful this world is, and i am greatful to live in such a gorgeous atmosphere. We also played in the snow, went sledding, made snow angels, sipped some delicious hot cocoa, and watched the grinch inside the warm cabin. It snowed the entire day, and the wind sure made it fun!
It really was such a blast, a great way to spend our christmas eve eve!

i had fun building a snow angel

Sophie & Olivia.

The names in which we called each other yesterday.

Me and lil sis spent our lovely morning talking with and English accent.
We carried this throughout the afternoon and to the grocery store.
Later...
we danced around together in my room
blasting music, and singing at the top of our lungs.

It's little things like this that make me forever greatful for a little sister
to be crazy, random, and make life fun with.
I would be lost without her.

fantabulous

{yes i made these snowflakes out of sticks and such from my backyard}

and i just want to thank everyone for all the sweet comments you always leave!!

take my heart this christmas...

... and wrap it in a ribbon and a bow.

I added a christmas playlist off to the right. I strongly suggest listening to these songs! The one reason i don't start listening to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving is because the radio tends to play the same songs over and over.
My friend Amanda did a post about this CD
{Hotel Cafe presents Wintery Songs}
and i am obsessed. They are cute, and fun versions of all your favorite wintery songs! I couldn't find all of them to add to the playlist,
but take a listen.
This one is my favorite, and it has such a cute music video!!
Enjoy!

Also...
I am reading this book...
and loving it.
It's taking me a long time to read it because i have no time.
But it helps you remember that Christmas is about giving, and helping those who are in need. I love it, and am going to have my own Christmas jar next year!
