Christmas and... oh what?? It's cold? That's right.

Hey! So I know you are just DYING to know what I got for Christmas. What's that? You really are? Well, who wouldn't be, right?

Okay. Here it goes.

A Cricut! This was definitely the biggest item. Want to know a secret? My mom and I got this for me together and I used it before I 'got' it (by my mothers request). I'm kind of a Christmas Cheater like that. Don't hate. (P.S. If you want vinyl words for your walls, I'm you're girl!)

I LOVE reading. There is nothing better, so of course I got lots of books. A few days ago I finished I am Number Four. It definitely wasn't what I expected, but it was really good and I definitely recommend it.

My parents Santa brought snack-sized Bugles bags and put them on our Christmas tree. Awesome. Oh yeah, except for the part where they don't fit on my fingers... Or my cousin's 2 year-old's finger. That is just wrong.

I also got clothes and scarves and gift cards and the coolest alarm clock of my whole life, so pretty much I now have a lot of cool stuff. And how could I possibly forget the best part... a phone call from my brother who's in Brazil on an LDS mission. He comes home in 12 days! Aaaaahhhh!!! I can't wait! This Christmas was the TOPS!

So... not to switch topics or anything (I'm totally switching topics. Hah!) Do you remember that time that it SNOWED in Mesa?? Oh yeah. That was today! Unfortunately, I didn't see any of it! Dumb!

Anyways, needless to say, I am freezing here. Please don't make fun of me. I have lived my entire life in Mesa and I enjoy spending a day in the snow MAXIMUM. I hate feeling cold especially when my toes are cold because it takes forever before they are warm again. Seriously. 34 degrees here? Not acceptable.

So I woke up this morning and I had 'Far Away' by Ingrid Micahelson stuck in my head all day. I was definitely not mad! You should watch it and enjoy. (I tried to upload it on here, but guess what... I am stupid when it comes to most forms of technology. True story.) I figured the main reason I have been singing this song all day long is because it is so cold here and I like to keep my mind on the 'island in the blue bay.' Can I please live there? Yes? Okay!
