Do you believe in Santa Clause?

Yes, I do believe in Santa Clause. One of my favorite things about Christmas is watching my little sisters get so excited, not only for getting gifts but giving them. The spirit of Christmas is wonderful and makes this time of year great!

Oh Bing, what would Christmas be without you...

Christmas with Sheryl...

So you may ask, "Who is this Sheryl you speak of"? Well I will tell you. This is Sheryl...

Sheryl is our Christmas tree. She's a wonderful little gal and adds to the Christmas spirit here at the Paulsen basement. She was delivered by some of the most wonderful girls...ever! These girls are my sisters. I am so lucky to have them, they are wonderful. You see, I was feeling very down about Christmas this year, and not really feeling like it was really Christmas. Isaac and I did not have a tree and it has just been so crazy this holiday season. Well I had a wonderful surprise on Saturday when Sarah, Jess and Rachel came to our door with none other than Sheryl singing this fine tune. They are quite talented.

(unfortunately I didn't record them at the door, but here is a good reenactment.)

I love my sisters!

This week our family went to see White Christmas at Pioneer Theatre...well at least we tried to. Long story short, they sold us the wrong tickets then blamed us and ended up giving us new tickets for separate shows. At least we all got to see it. It was really good and I loved all the music and dancing. Also, President Monson was at the play sitting just right of us. We went over and talked with him for a bit, he is such a sweet man.

Christmas time is wonderful! Merry Christmas!

So I'm a little behind....OK a lot

OK, yes I am SO behind. It is kind of embarrassing, but I just finished my finals and I am feeling great. So here is an update from the middle of October...Oh and see this place....well we've moved! I get pictures up soon!

So in the middle of October for fall break we got to go up to Pullman, Washington to visit Isaac's brother Josh, his wife Amy and the kids. It was such a blast. We had so much fun visiting with them. Here are some pictures of the trip...
