Our First Christmas

Ben and I survived finals and have had a wonderful, relaxing, fun Christmas break.  We did lots of fun things like see the lights at Thanksgiving Point and go to downtown Salt Lake and see Temple Square and the City Creek shopping center; we had our own Christmas before going to see Ben's family for Christmas.  We have done lots of shopping and playing and relaxing and not thinking about school.

Here are pictures from our first Christmas :)

 This set of pictures are from Temple Square.  The night we went it was rainy which made for beautiful reflections.  I love how these pictures turned out.

Here is Ben on our Christmas Eve sporting his new ice skates. 

 Ben made us smoothies for breakfast. Yummy!

 Merry Christmas from the Nielsen's :)

We made it to Ben's parents' house for Christmas.  Here is Ben making guacamole.  It was really, really good.

 The day after Christmas the Johnson's came.  It was so fun to have the boys around to play with.

 The Friday after Christmas us girls went shopping.

I look slightly out of place...

 But that's much better :)
