Finally Finals are OVER!

Thank goodness we have reached the end of our CRAZY semester! This was our first semester since we have been married and BOTH of us were on track this semester (which got pretty crazy at times!)
Thankfully we have finished! I SUCCESSFULLY completed this semester with the 4.0 GPA I was shooting for and I believe Steven did equally as well with his classes! WOOHOO! 

Amongst our busy semester we had a power outage at the beginning of this month so we had an opportunity to put up our Christmas tree and have been enjoying it since!

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...

 I think it's pretty and it reminds me of home because the tree and ALL the ornaments were from my parents'.  They have a nice new set of ornaments so we got to have their old ones that we always used when I was growing up.  It's really fun to have our own tree especially because we will be spending Christmas together at our own house this year!

Steven's company does a nice Christmas party every year for their employees and we were pretty excited to go! They had reserved this ranch that is in a neighboring town that has sleigh rides and entertainment as well as serving a DELICIOUS dinner!  We had a blast (even though it was pretty cold!) on the sleigh rides and enjoyed ourselves a nice prime rib dinner (YUM).

Mountain River Ranch. Quaint little place!

Way excited about the sleigh ride! We had front row seats!

We are looking forward to a nice quiet Christmas with ourselves next week!  Shortly following our quiet holiday we will be heading back down to Utah for my nephew's baptism (SUPER FUN) and then the next weekend we will go do Christmas again with Steven's family at his parents' house.  Lots to look forward to and we are grateful that school is out for all of this fun!!!
