First days of Utah

Hullo! As you all know, I'm in Utah now!!! My first four days were spent with Michelle and Nate, who are very fantastic hosts. We partied it up! On New Years Eve, Nate's fam came over (his dad, mam, and sister Abbey) and we ate takeout Chinese ("which I never actually did before but kind of enjoyed") and played on the Waite's new Wii. It was especially fun to watch Grandpa play wipeout (it's just like the show). He was pretty terrible at it but it was HILARIOUS! We were ALL laughing our heads off and I almost wet my pants. Then they left and we started the movie Rango. Shell got tired and went to bed, and me and Nate stayed down to finish it. I fell asleep at 11:30 though, and Nate finished it all by his lonesome.
To make up for me and Shells lack of party attitude on NYE, New Years DAY was the real partay. After church we went over to Nate's bro Aaron's house to help Grandma watch the children (5 of them, the 6th was born that day)! We left and came home to play Ticket to Ride and Shell got really grumpy because she lost reeeeeeeally badly plus she was gassy. We drank Martenelli's (which we called "bubbly") out of wine glasses and I thought it was really gross so I only drank like 2 sips. Plus, I was kind of gassy too and I didn't want to become any bubblier than I already was. (Yeah, yeah, I know i told you guys I wasn't gassy. I lied.)
And, somewhere in there we saw temple square with all of it's lights. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! And cold.
pictures!



We're so refined. And bubbly.




Addison at breakfast. This is one awesome kid. Oh, later we went to J Dawgs where they have massive hot dogs and Nate was trying to get him to take another bite, and he screamed, "BUT THEY TASTE LIKE TRASH!!!" Then, once he noticed me laughing my head off he screamed, "THEY TASTE LIKE GARBAGE!!!" hahahahahahaha





Bryn. She is also awesome, and has fabulous pink light-up princess cowgirl boots.
