Ho, Ho, Ho.....Merry Christmas!

Christmas came a week early for the Bagby family. We celebrated the big day a week early. Not much to report except for a bunch of pictures so here we go!

After this I'm off to Israel on Christmas Day! I can hardly wait!!!!

Listening intently to the Christmas story......


Ashley and Sienna in their new princess dresses from Aunt Dish! As Ashley said while opening it "This is going to be something beautiful!" Apparently I've set a precedence with her!


Lara and Eric


How cute is little Sierra and her "CHEEEEEEESE" grin? This picture makes me happy just looking at it!! I also wanted to make sure everyone knew I still have a full set of teeth :)


Andrew looks pretty happy opening presents with Dad.....


Looks like Sierra loves her "dog" book from Aunt Dish.....


And last but not least.....a little crack!!


Merry Christmas! I'll post a lot about Israel once I get back.

An Early Christmas present

So nobody probably checks my blog anymore since I haven't posted for 2 months, but I promise I'm alive. My life is pretty much the same every week. I go to work, then school, then homework, then sleep.

EXCEPT for this weekend!!! This weekend I actually had some really fun things to do and since President Monson had the same schedule I think I'm in good shape :)

On Friday night I went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square's Christmas performance. My friend Kathy plays the violin in the orchestra so it was great to see her play. It was beautiful and we had great seats on the Plaza level! I've never been and it definitely helps to put you in the Christmas mood. I wish it wasn't FREEZING outside or we would have stayed and looked at the lights. But at 5 degrees I just wanted the car with the heater. Anyways, we didn't take many pictures (remember how it was cold), but here is a picture of the conference center after it was over (while we waited for Kathy).


Then on Saturday night I had 14th row Jazz vs. Lakers tickets (pretty close to my dream come true!). After a long day of studying going to the game was heaven! It was a great game and the Jazz won! I absolutely LOVE sitting so close. I could hear them, see their faces and even watch their eyes as they played. I LOVED it. In addition to President Monson we also saw Elder Perry at the Jazz game. Two apostles in attendance in addition to my prayers must have helped the Jazz :)

Here are some pictures I took.
