Happy New Year!!

Okay, so I haven't done this in a long time, and so I"m just gonna
do everything at once!!
Christmas Break just got over and the partying almost
every day of the week has come to a temporary end -the partying
is NEVER actually over :) -- Christmas Break was filled with: ice skating,
Christmas Caroling, JUST DANCE, crazy car rides in an awesome truck,
and lots of other games with my friends!!

BUT...I think we need to back up a little bit, because there a
few other awesome things that happened before all that.....





At the beginning of October I found out on his website
that David Archuleta was having a Christmas tour and he
was going to be coming to Boise! He came a few years ago and I
wasn't able to go, so I had been waiting for the day he came back
and so Dad bought us some tickets as soon as he could for the concert.
There were tickets we could buy that would give us the chance to
meet David Archuleta in person but they were really expensive and
my Dad didn't want to spend that much money, so we just got the
general admission ticket for the show which was still fine by me!!
Then I waited more than a month for the concert, and two days before
we found out David Archuleta was going to be at Deseret Book doing a
signing for his cd and dvd with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!
So my dream DID come true, and I got to meet him and take a picture
with him and give him a hug, and then the next night go hear him sing!!
It was the best thing ever!!! :)

These pictures are of Tiana and I messin' around

with the new camera, and it was after we opened

all the presents!!

So the morning after Christmas all the cousins, aunts, uncles,

and grandparents left Jerome and headed for Utah to visit

Hogle Zoo, "This Is The Place" (with the Pioneer Village),

and the Christmas lights at Temple Square!! We made it

back to Jerome at about 1am!! Long day! But it was awesome!

The car ride there and back with Lanie and Maddie was a blast too!!!

The only thing that stunk was that my camera ran out of battery after

the zoo, so I couldn't use it the whole rest of the day!!

So, New Year's Eve I went to the Stake Dance with all of

my friends!! And had a great time! It was a four hour dance

and those four hours were filled with tons of fun and craziness!!

The dance was at the church building right across the street from

Simplot Hill, so at 12:30 in the morning my and all my friends

(along with a bunch of other people we didn't know) ran up Simplot

Hill, and got to look out on the lighted city for the first time in the new

year! And it was amazing!!!
