The Season is Upon Us

I love the Christmas season. To start off my blog, I want you to listen/watch the new Christmas song by The Dropkick Murphys (Marshall Serzen and my favorite!)

Well, that video makes me laugh, and rings true in some ways...but anywho this has been a fantastic month. I love December because of the snow, and holiday cheer. At the beginning of the month my Mom and step-dad Ed drove up and we had an early Christmas with them. It was a blast. I love their company and always enjoy when they visit Utah. Great food, great laughs, great memories!  Like last year, I worked Christmas morning and once I got off work I headed with Ronnie Eichelberger up to the mountains to take advantage of our White Christmas. We headed up to Little Cottonwood Canyon to snowshoe up White Pine Canyon, and then snowboarded (I snowbladed) down! This little tradition was a blast, and I hope to do it many more times in the future.

After that exciting afternoon with Ronnie I went to visit my wonderful family. I absolutely love going to my Grandparents/Dads house for Christmas. Nothing like the smell of wontons, stuffed mushrooms, and fresh rolls as I walk through the door. After stuffing my face with delicious food, we all opened presents together. I love my family more than anything! (Although sometimes they may think I put other things first, they are my everything).








We also had the chance to have the Kensington Manor's annual "Classy Christmas" get-together. It was good dressing up and spending time with friends.











It was really a fun December. I also had a chance to bring my country boy part of me out and shoot some guns, hunt, and fish on a few separate occasions with my friends Carson Zollinger, Marshall Serzen and Ronnie Eichelberger. Below are a few pictures. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!! (because I sure did)
