Huge stress lately! So every 4th Wednesday, we combine the mutual activity with 6 different wards and my Young Womens group was in charge this month. After much thinking, we decided that we would have a trash bag fashion show. Trash bag fashion is just that, you get a garbage bag and make that your main piece of attire, you then take whatever junk you can find and make an actual garment out of it all. We split the girls up into groups and had 2 models in each group. Wow, they were all so creative!!! They all had so much fun with the activity. At the end, we had a runway fashion show to some awesome music so that all the girls could strut their stuff. All the stress of planning and shopping was worth it! Everyone had a great time and the girls were so funny and creative. Loved it!

Wow, it's definitely been awhile....sorry. I'll catch you up. I was lucky to have Christmas off of work, so I was able to spend all of Christmas with my family, both Aaron's and mine. It's tradition to have breakfast at my parent's house and then open presents.
In the afternoon, we always go to Grandma's enchilada dinner. She is 100% Mexican and man can she cook! Everyone looks forward to her enchiladas every year because she only makes them on Christmas day. She's 85 years old and she makes everything from scratch, including the tortillas. She's incredible, but it is really hard for her to do all that work. We appreciate it very much though!
The food was fantastic and what made it even better is that I got everything I wanted for Christmas!!! My most favorite gift this year was from Aaron. I finally got my kitchen aid mixer!! I've been wanting one for about 3 years now, but we've always been too poor to buy it.

Aaron also surprised me with the watch I've been wanting for months too. It's a Nixon Vega watch in the Mirror style. Apparently that style has been discontinued. On Christmas Eve, Aaron was able to get out of work a little early and he called all over Utah to try and find this style watch. Finally he found one in a shop up in Park City. On Christmas Eve at 6 pm, he drove clear up to Park City to get this watch for me. I think that was one of the sweetest things he's ever done for me.
