HOME!

This week, we all came home!  It was great!  We all had finals, pictures, last good-byes for a while in some cases, and lots of cleaning and packing the last two days until finally, we checked-out for Winter Break!  It's wonderful to be home for Christmas and I'm looking forward to the times ahead next semester AFTER a good long two weeks of relaxing, working, and spending time with my family. :) 

Sunday Dinner

Today we had a Sunday dinner for the last time together!  Ben and I made the dish: Chicken Alfredo (with vegetables) with a side of french bread, Addison & Miriam were in charge of the appetizers of cheese and crackers and later salad, Trishia & Carissa did decorations and provided the drinks: pink lemonade and later hot chocolate, and then Krystal and Jessica made Orange Juliuses (after we were warmed up by the hot chocolate! :)

Epic Pancake "Brunch"

We had a fun pancake breakfast together on Saturday with LOTS of friends.  We've been doing this pretty consistently to one degree or another the entire semester with just us room mates and an added friend or two.  :) ... But!  Yesterday, we decided to make it epic because it's our last Saturday all together before the semester ends and it's been great!  :)  We invited more of our outside friends and brought in an extra table from down the hall in the lounge.  :)  Here's some pictures!! :)

 Working away on the gingerbread houses! :)

 Addison hard at work. :)

 Krystal's finished product.  :)  It ended up like a temple, so she put an Angel Moroni on the top! (The Angel Moroni is a symbol on the top of Latter-day Saint temples.)

 Jessica and her two-story masterpiece!! :)

 Miriam's in the making. :)

 Addison and his gingerbread house.

 Addison's up close! :)

 

 My finished product...with seven gummy bear people for each of the members of my family.

We had fun.  It was a good bonding experience and we watched The Polar Express while we made them, so we felt more of the Christmas spirit! :)
