Christmas and Birthday

Christmas break was nice this year. We didn't go anywhere, we just had some time to be with each other and do some fun things. We went snowshoeing in Milcreek Canyon. It was so pretty.




We also made our annual Christmas cookies. They are the best Christmas cookies! They are soft and have cream cheese frosting. Here Joanna made a Utah shaped cookie dedicated to BYU.




We had Christmas dinner on Christmas eve, Santa came and then we opened our presents on Christmas morning. Then went up to my parent's house in West Valley.



I also had my 26th birthday on January 4th. I am so old. Joanna has been wanting to make a cool cake, so I told her to make me a space shuttle cake. It was awesome. I was so excited that I did a little photo shoot with it.







I loved it. Thanks Joanna! I just started my last semester. The semester hasn't been too bad so far. We will see how it turns out. I have two Chemical Engineering courses, the rest are just general classes that I still needed to take. All I have to do is make it through this semester and I will graduate in April! Joanna just finished her rotation at Mountainlands community health center in Provo. Now she is at a clinic in Springville. She has been learning a lot and getting a lot of hands on experience doing her rotations. She is a great PA!

oh yeah the utah cookie really looks good, I would like a taste of it. Actually, at first I thought it had a bite taken out of it and then I realized it was Utah, Go Utah, state that is, you know, not any school just the state of Utah. Go BYU:)

That cake looks awesome Joanna! Way to be creative with your cake requests, James. Man, if Braden asked for that-I don't know if I could deliver! :) I'm so impressed.
