Update on the Hales

Crack out the Mint MnM's, artificial trees, and Christmas Music!
It was so much fun putting our first tree up! Jeff has to work Christmas Eve and Christmas night at the hospital so it's been fun celebrating together before then. We've already gone through 3 out of the 5 Christmas movies we own, danced to Christmas music, bought our Egg Nog, and celebrated Christmas with the Bronsons in Tennessee :)
Here's the finished product ;) For those that do not know, we moved from our fun little apartment in Holladay to Mary and Ron's spacious basement to be closer to school. It has definitely been nice for us to live only 5 minutes away from School!

We had the opportunity to go to Tennessee a week and a half ago to spend time with my Family. We celebrated Dad's birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! It was so nice to have the whole family together again (besides Elder Parker Bronson). We haven't had everyone together since the wedding back in February. Here are some pix from the trip:
Cute Sister in law, Karlee

Cute Jeff :)

KelKel-Who looks older than me I might add..

Some football action shots:





Playin Football at the park and an awkward hockey game to top off our Friday night (Dad somehow arranged for us to announce the mascots onto the ice before the game started. None of us knew this until we showed the lady our tickets. They hurried us to the microphone and none of us could understand the thick southern accent of "Welcome to the ice, the best Mascots in the South!".. The announcer handed the mic to Hailey who handed the mic to Karlee who handed it to me.. who heard: "Welcomb da ice da be mascots in da Soweth" .. who handed it back to the announcer. Haha so embarrassing... we did win a pizza though :)




It was a great trip and we are sad to be home in Salt Lake City ;) Kidding. Life has just been busy for the both of us! I'm majoring in Piano Performance at the University of Utah with 18 credit hours and five piano students while Jeff is working full time at the hospital, taking Anatomy at the U of U and getting ready to apply to nursing school in 2 weeks. Crazy busy times but we are having a blast! Hope all is well with everyone!
