Meghan: December 2015

My friend Carli gave my old roomate, Brittany, and I gift cards to the Hale Center Theater for Christmas several years ago. I kept wanting to go see a play but the years came and went and I either forgot about the gift card or just couldn't commit to a date. I finally used it this year and got tickets for Justin and I to see A Christmas Carol. It's my favorite Christmas story and they did an incredible job. Justin and I had such a good time, we'll definitely have to go again! And we're so grateful to our friends Brian and Liz who watched Nolan for us so we could get out.

A couple of my favorite quotes from A Christmas Carol:

"It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour."

"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys."

The felt Christmas tree I made for Nolan to play with! He was still a little young, but liked taking them off the tree haha.

My amazing VTer gave Nolan these Christmas PJs so we had to take some fun Christmas pics!

Liz, getting ready to welcome her first little guy, holding Nolan and Samantha. She's been awesome and watched these little ones for us while we played softball while she's been pregnant!

I know, I can't believe we're friends with Ute fans ;)

The Shelby's house (far left) was pretty awesome, it had a satellite dish, a chimney, and an air conditioner haha.

That was a busy night! I had a hockey game, then went to Brittany's house in Centerville to have dinner with my friends, then went to the Farr's house to make Gingerbread houses!

The crew after dinner at Brit's house!

...plus some other miscellaneous pics I forgot to post earlier

Back on Halloween we went to the driving range with Paul. I absolutely love the driving range and can't wait for Nolan to be old enough to hit a bucket with us!

In November we had a Women's Volleyball Tournament. Even though it was a stake team, all of these ladies are from my ward and we kicked butt!! We really had a good, fun team and made it all the way to the championship. In the last game we came back in the second set to take it to 3, before barely losing in the final set. Despite the loss we had so much fun!!
