Christmas Came a Day Late this Year

Well friends, Christmas has come and gone and it was fabulous!!!!

I have some pictures because Santa brought me this little lovely: Her name is Cammie and I adore her.

However, an unexpected present that flew into my life a couple hours ago is going to keep me from uploading pictures for a week or so because......

I'm going to Houston tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get to go see my Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am STOKED.

S-T-O-K-E-D

So obviously....life here at EverybodyNose will pick back up when I return home in a weeks time.

So this gives you more time to leave a comment on the below post.

Christmas Comment Candy will be sweeter because you get to wait for it!!!

Tis the Season and All That Jazz

Yes friends, it is that time again.

I figured since it is the season of giving, no better time to toss out some

Comment Candy.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go HERE.

While I'm on the subject of Christmas,

I thought I'd toss out a thought I had the other day.

It's about the

Two S's

Substituite and Supplement

Substituite- Replacement

Supplement- Additive

We know that Christmas is about celebrating the birth of our brother Jesus Christ.

As the years come and go, more and more emphasis is put on the commercial side of Christmas.

Presents, trees, lights and the whole nine yards are GREAT,

AS A SUPPLEMENT,

NOT a SUBSTITUITE.

This year as you shop for, give and recieve presents, make sure the things you're doing are adding to your celebration of Christ's birth, not replacing it.

Alright friends, you know what to do.

3 is a Magic Number

3 Weekends

3 Boys

3 Amazing Dates

Starting with last weekend:

My friend Kair won a raffle at a stake activity and the prize was a group date for you and four other couples to go watch a movie of your choice on this HUGE screen!!! Well Kair, being awesome invited me and I invited Shirt Boy and we watched Up!! Yes I cried twice!! It was soo cute!!

(The movie, not my crying.) Afterwards we all went to a park and everyone decided to play frisbee. But frisbee's not really my thing...so Shirt Boy and I played on the playground and eventually ended up in a tree. Yes, it was kind of like this: Except we weren't that close to each other!
We each had our own branch!
Anyways, date #1 was quite a sucess!
After the talk that Shirt Boy had,
I came home wanting to be better.
And if that's not a succesful worthwhile date,
then I don't know what is.

Date #2 was last night with my buddy Jacob!
First we had homeade pizza at Sammy's house, DELCIOUS!!
Then we got hot chocolate from QT and went to the Temple Lights and looked around and ate Krispy Kremes.

Afterwards we went back to Sammy's and played

Baby If You Love Me Smile.

Love that game!

Then, to really get us in the Christmas spirit, we watched Miracle on 34th Street.

Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever.

(Jessica if you say one more ill word against it, I will drop kick you from here to China.)

Classic Natalie and Jacob moment.

Date #3 is a week from today.

Winter Formal!!!

After hours and hours of searching, I have a dress and everything to go with it and I'm not going to lie,

the whole ensemble is

FABULOUS!!!!

So fabulous that you're going to have to wait to see it!!

Everyone have a smashing week!!!
