On the 18th, we had a big Christmas party! It included Me, Eric, Hannah, Anna, Caitlyn, Taylor, Jason (newly added. He is Taylors bf), Shelby, Brittany, and Ryan (Brittany's bf but he couldn't come).
We did a white elephant, and secret santa, had an appetizer dinner, and then it was time for girls night so the boys left and the girls sat on the floor, kept eating food, and watched a Christmas movie.
IT WAS SO FUN!
The highlight for me, was the present that Eric gave me, before I opened it, he wanted me to try and guess. And my only clue was "this present is Eric's heart and soul in a box." ...
(and the food ;P)
I opened it, and this is what I saw. I was really confused at first. But then he explained it to me. He said that this is the Book of Mormon that he had on his mission. And he marked things in certain ways and there is a key to his marks in the back of the book. He told me that he wanted me to have it, because we already know a lot about each other, so he wanted me to have this, so that I can see the gospel through his eyes. I absolutely love it! I am going to use it along with my quad every time that I read the scriptures, so then I can get a deeper understanding of the Book of Mormon. Maybe it will help since now I will be able to see patterns marked, and such. I absolutely love it :)
The food at this thing was really good too! It was an appetizer dinner, so we didn't have real dinner. Just appetizers. It was Hannah's idea so we decided to do it, and she would take charge. When she asked me what kind I wanted, I was like "well chips and queso is life... so...." and she goes "oh you are right!" so we ended up having, chips, queso, salsa, no bake cookies, little meat things (no idea what they were. but they were good! haha) and chocolate chip cookies. IT WAS SO GOOD :) I ate so much that I still didn't feel good the next day :)
Because that is how we party Idaho style :)
