is it to soon to be as excited as i am for christmas?

cause i am past excited.

i feel like i might be more excited than my 5 year old nephew.

i think the countdown on my phone may be just a bit much but hey i dont care.

my favorite part of the holidays is all of the traditions.

a few of my favorite traditions are:

-white christmas & decorating my moms tree

-sugar cookie decorating at my dads

-the nativity scene about the fireplace

-temple square lights

-a new christmas book to read on christmas eve

-christmas even pajamas

-gingerbread houses

-driving around looking at lights

-the tables my mom sets up with her different snowman&trees

-listening to christmas music

i am excited to do a few new things this year:

-going to idaho with dar to cut down a tree

-decorating my apartment

-movie night & treats

-making lots and lots and lots of christmas treats

-angel tree with the family

-holiday crafts

-sharing traditions with brin and tay

there will be many posts in the next month about all of these things

so i hope you're ready for some christmas cheer

m.i.a

yes i went m.i.a 

again

seems to be a reoccurring problem with me & this blog

i sit here and think of all the things i should post

and then

life happens and before you know it its a new day

i will try and be better

smallish update:

the day before thanksgiving my brother trae had brain surgery

talk about nervous.

about a month ago he broke his nose in a soccer game which jammed everything up into his face

causing a lot of infection

well, for the next 2 weeks he had a constant headache, was blacking out, couldn't remember converstations he was having with people, how he got home or anything

so my mom had him go see a doctor

within 2 hours he had a ct scan, mri, and was meeting with a neurosurgant

they were worried that he had a brain tumor and had triggered with the face trama

he was put on steroids in hopes to drain all the infection in his face.

didnt work.

so then it was surgery

all day i was worried about him

then my mom called me and said everything was great.

no tumor.

that was the biggest relief.

he went home that night and was feeling lots better the next day

thanksgiving:

after the surgery the allison family had a lot to be thankful for

i woke up to a message from my mom saying she made breakfast casserole (tradition)

i picked up bryce and we headed to my moms

after a little breakfast

we got trae and headed to my dads for dinner

it was so fun to just be with family without the worry of trae

we ate lots.

and lots..and lots.

after a few hours there we headed back to my moms

there we had pie, and played some games.

i had a lot to be thankful for this year and it was to go reflect on it all

my friend janece came home for a short little visit

to surprise her family

she told me a few weeks earlier that she was going to be coming

it was the hardest time keeping it off facebook

but i did it.

it was good to see her and catch up

on sunday it was my roommates jenzus farewell

talk about an amazing girl

i haven't known her that long

in fact we didnt become friends till i moved in 

but i am glad to call her on of my good friends now

i know this isn't a super fun post but now that we are all caught up let the fun begin!
