3 Weeks of GlOriOus freedom!!!...

So.....I know Christmas break has been over for a little bit, but I just had so much fun I have to post it. (o: It was a much needed break and came @ just the right time. School and everything else was starting to drive me crazy. From the moment I got home I had cabin fever and needed to be doing something all the time so it was good a lot of kids around my age were around for break too. I had a lot of fun with a lot of different friends. I (well Amy) cut my hair, watched Will play basketball, played halo with a bunch of boys and got slaughtered, went to movies, played lots of games, and played in the Idaho snow! The best part was getting to spend A LOT of time with all of my family. We were all home this year and had glorious amounts of fun.

Christmas Eve is always a good time. We get together with my dad's side of the family every year. We have done the nativity since we were little kids and for some reason the adults just can't let it go, so this year all the older kids decided were going to participate...willingly. Me and Traci decided being the sheep was probably going to be the most fun. Haha!...Nathan was the star of the show, literally. He was definitely the highlight of my night in his bright yellow sweatshirt. Isaac was cute as always...he was Joseph, but he kept telling me he was Joseph "Smif."

We spent a lot of time playing games this Christmas. There were many emotional, competitive late nights in the Huntsman household. I've always considered myself pretty competitive, but can't even compare to the rest of the kids so I pretty much sit back and laugh. Settlers of Catan and 5 Crowns,(A.K.A Kings gone wild) are definitely the family favorites...or else the only games we own. Ha! I think that some of my favorite "family quotes," (and there are oodles of favorites) have been said while settling Catan. You can only play games for so long though....and when the roads are bad what else is there to do but play in the snow. Will and I built a fort....











....and Nate had a brilliant plan one night that we should have a race through the snow in our bare feet. It was fun. And funny. My pants were too long so I kept tripping on them, not to mention the huge snow drifts we decided to run through. We are "morons." You can't really see it too well cuz it was dark, but Elliot filmed us and between him and Dave laughing this video is pretty funny...well to me. Elliot always dreamed about becoming a commentator (I don't think this is what he had in mind).....




...One night I was playing rock band and I heard some riotous laughter (when isn't there with Dave around?) coming from upstairs. We found Dave and Elliot having more fun with Isaac's dart gun then he will ever have. They had my dad's new waffle maker on it's side and were having a shootout.Soon we all joined in...I think this is going to become a tradition. (o:


I got to spend time with my nephew all break and that is always a plus. He's adorable...obviously. He's a character and always makes me smile. We figured out not too long ago that his mom is moving to Alabama in March and so we won't get to see him as much. That makes me really sad, but it will be okay. Everything always is. (o:

I'm grateful I got to spend so much time with my family. They make me laugh so hard! This is probably the last Christmas we'll have together for 3 more years. Nate's leaving on his mission probably around May (yay for him), and Elliot and Traci will be with Traci's family Nate's first Christmas back. I just love holidays!!!
