Busy but FUN past few weeks

These past few weeks have been pretty busy for us and we are so glad that this semester is almost over! we had tons of family coming in and out of town and I finally gave my Senior Recital! It went really well. And it was nice to have my family in town to see me perform. anyways, i will describe more with the pictures.

Happy Thanksgiving! we spent this thanksgiving with Sam's sister in law Michelle's family. Jeff and Michelle and the girls were up here visiting and it was so fun to see them. Michelle's family was so nice and the food was awesome! we had a great time! (just sad we didnt get any pics with jeff and michelle lol)Kelli and Shaun come to visit!! It was sooo fun to see them and the kids up here in Utah. We hadn't seen them since last Christmas and it was nice to spend some time with them. Alexa and Michael have gotten so big! i loved hanging out with them.
up on the parking lot of Y mount.. Alexa was so excited to be on a mountain for the first time!
we decided to climb up a littl ways. alexa was hilarious... "I'm on a mountain!!"
After my recital with my sisters!! This was my last big event that is basically my senior project. It was a lot of hard work but so worth it. I learned so much these past few months trying to prepare for it. a big thanks to my two amazing voice teachers Jennifer Welch-Babidge and Darrell Babidge. I wasn't able to get a pic with Darrell after my recital but no worries, I will get a good one sometime before we leave. Anywho, this is with my sisters afterwards.. it was so fun to have them in town and to finally be all together. Wish I could see them more often! we always have a blast together!
sisters and mom:
my dress:
My best friend Tiffany who flew all the way out to see me! I love this girl!! Thanks Tif for comin all that way!! I am so grateful for you and all the time we spend laughing together! haha
with my amazing husband. He has been soo supportive through everything. Love you babe!!
my mom and "aunt" Susan. so happy to have them there! Love you two! And a big thanks to everyone else who came to see me! i really appreciated having all of you there!
later on that night we decided to go out for a girl's night to Spark. Its a non-alcoholic restaurant lounge. it was so fun!

The next couple of nights we had our choir concert the "Celebration of Christmas." my sisters and mom were able to come before the left on Saturday then sam's mom flew in to see it. This year's performance we did more traditional numbers but it was all still pretty enjoyable. plus it is always cool to sing with the orchestra. This is a pic with our choir director Sister Hall because it is our last Christmas concert here at BYU..
With Sam's mom who came for a short visit to see the Christmas concert. always fun to have her in town.
It has been pretty crazy lately but fun to have so much family in town to visit. Can't wait to go home to Houston this coming Friday for a nice long break where we can spend more time with everyone. we are so excited!

It was fun to visit and be with all the girls again! We seriously need to make an annual tradition out of it and pick a different location every year! You were amazing in your recital by the way!! Love you girl!
