Christmas Eve 2009

My Grandma had so many fun appetizers and desserts at her house for Christmas eve.

My brother Riley came home from the Army for Christmas. He gave this sword to the whole family to hang in my grandparent’s house. It is the kind of sword that our anscestors would have used and Riley had it special made. It has the handle with symbols of our name: Andreasen. There is also a family crest embroidered with gold that hangs from the sword. My grandpa was so excited. It was a neat present for the whole family.

My side of the family has a family tradition: Every year on Christmas Eve everyone eats a little cup of pudding. One cup has an almond hidden inside it. Whoever gets the almond is dubbed the king or queen of Christmas. On Christmas day they get special treatment and don’t have to do the dishes or clean up wrapping paper or cook and so on.

After appetizers at the Lawrence’s and treats at my grandparent’s we had a fancy dinner at the Romney’s. It was such a fun night. Thanks everyone!!!

Condo 2009

Every year before Christmas my parents rent a suite at a condo just out side of Driggs. It is a lot of fun every year. My brother Riley got to come home for Christmas from his army base in North Carolina.

My little brother and sister are being silly with the sparkling cider.

Benjamin took Emily and Joseph on a hike through the woods around the condo.

O Christmas Tree

This is our little "Charlie Brown" tree. We don't have room for a normal tree, so we took the top off of our fake tree and set it up on our end table. It works.

Spaz!!!

We had so much fun playing SPAZ at Thanksgiving Time. This movie is of Kylie and her sister Codi battling it out for the win. Don't they look like Spaz's?

Pioneer Song Pictures!

I had so much fun playing the part of Sonya in the BYU-I production of Pioneer Song. This is a picture of four of us being silly and acting like our characters. Can you tell that my character is sick and abused? Poor Sonya. Every night while everyone got their stage make up on and their hair done up all pretty, I got to make bags under my eyes and mess up my hair.

This is me and little Sam. He was made such a cute little dead pioneer child.

Isn't the set beautiful? The mountains in the back grew as the pioneers got closer to Oregon.
