Our Holiday Break

As you well may know, Christmas break for college students is amazing. It's the only break we have between semesters of crazy, and it is possibly the only thing that pulls us through the stress of finals week. This year Dix and I had a wonderful Christmas break. We finished our finals a few days early and flew out to Oregon to be with his family for a few days. We had a great time there (we attended a great concert, ate delicious food, had a party for Aunt Nanette, and went Christmas tree hunting together) and then headed back to Idaho for the actual Christmas holiday. We left Idaho days before our school started so that I could begin a CNA class and so that we could have some time together. It was great to have a break that we were able to spend with family and remember that the Savior is at the center of all that matters.

Here are some pictures from our break:

Dix Jr. and Sr. at the Christmas tree farm. They had to wear garbage bags over their shoes to keep from getting too muddy. It sure made for some cute pictures!
