week one of christmas break: lovely.

Guys, this passed week has been utterly amazing :] not because i did anything really fun, or saw a lot of people, because i did neither :] but because i hung out with my favorite people, and did nothing :]

MONDAY:
Monday I'm sure i did nothing. which is very logical because you see, we had our first competition on Saturday. it was very long; 14 hours to be exact. so i took that day to catch up on sleep and do nothing :]

TUESDAY:
this day was my wonderful boyfriends birthday :] this year, i felt very proud of my gift to him. i was a little worried it would be thought of as too girly, but he liked it enough :]
for his birthday, all we did was hang out at his house, play a little ping pong, and watch the weirdest movie i have ever seen: THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE. it was so strange.
i made cranberry, jalapeno relish, which ended up being a total hit :]
this night was so simple, that it made my list of favorite days :]
and there wasn't even a goodnight kiss... i guess he actually likes me for me and not my lips (yes girls, that is very possible:))

WEDNESDAY:
i had to take my sisters out so that my mommy could finish wrapping Christmas gifts. so i took them to see TIN TIN. it actually wasn't that bad! and the only upside to this was Dall and his sisters joined us :] Haha, my sisters now believe me that they are very quiet and shy :]

THURSDAY:
another day spent with my best friend :] aah.... he is the best person :] he so kindly volunteered his house this whole week... i was over there a whole lot :]
after he had his choir practiced, i went over there and watched BETTER OFF DEAD, the other movie we had to choose from on his birthday. this movie was also so dumb... haha, oh the good ole 80's...
it doesn't sound very excited, and it wasn't, but... i don't know! i love these nights :]

FRIDAY:
Friday :] its always the best night of the week :]
Dall called and told me i had been invited to his family last minute white elephant party :] it was so short notice that i didn't have anything to bring, so he just came and picked me up; my present was a surprise to me and everyone else but Alice :]
even though it was small, and they all thought it was lame, i thought it was fun and sweet :] i ended up with hello kitty headphones... which i actually liked (that's not supposed to happen, is it??) :)
we then went to the kitchen and made snowflakes :] this always sounded so cute in my head... and it was in real life :] his cute sisters came and joined us... they are very good at making snowflakes. much better than me, actually. we laughed and giggled and had lots of fun :]
haha, now, the rest of the night was so random :]
we sat on his coach and we literally laughed until we cried!! i never thought him to be that funny, but oh boy was he :] you know those things that really aren't funny, but you re so elated that you laugh and laugh anyway?? that's what we did :] he literally had tears running down his face:] i did, too! i loved it :]
after i so kindly asked him to take me home, we laughed and laughed all the way there. he stopped at a stop sign and planted a solid kiss on my lips... something i hadn't gotten all week :] it was a nice surprise :] when he pulled into my driveway, he kissed me again. we were saying goodbye when he came to kiss me again. i obviously kissed him back, cause kissing is nice, but i just couldn't take him seriously and laughed all over his face! hahahahaha..... its okay, he totally denied me right before :] that's just how we are :] not very serious :]

SATURDAY:
Christmas EVE! we saw WE BOUGHT A ZOO to pass time :]
this movie was SO cute!!! i did cry a few times, but it was just so sweet and inspirational! and so real.... there was no avoiding it.

"ALL IT TAKES IT 20 SECONDS OF INSANE BRAVERY."

oh boy, do i believe this.
i like it so much that it's going to be my new life motto :]

SUNDAY:
CHRISTMAS!!!
it was a good day :]
i didn't get much, but that's okay because i didn't ask for anything, or felt like i was in need of anything :] so my mommy gave me a nice $100 bill to get a few more presents :]
we had church, which was awesome! slept, and played with our new toys :] love Christmas!

my favorite gift:
THE KISSING HAND. this is the gift i got from Dallin. i opened the cover, and out fell a note. his notes are always so sweet! though it was short, it still had the power to bring me to tears :] they always do :] after reading through the book, the back cover held another note. in this note was his hand with a big heart drawn in the middle. at the bottom it said: I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!
it again brought me to tears :]



and there you have it! my incredibly simple week :] simple is my favorite :]


i hope you all had a great week, and hope you have another one this week :]

happy holidays
