Merry Christmas!!

Okayyy so I am very behind on my blogging, please forgive! I have been a very busy little gal :) This is also going to go from most recent to latest where Ive fallen behind on Blogging :). Merry Christmas everyone!! I have a wonderful day! I know Santa treated our family very well this year! Thanks Santa :] Tradition that Jess and I always open up pjs from Aunt Sandy on Christmas Eve. Here we are modeling them off. Thanks Aunt Sandy!I helped Daddy put lights on the house when I got home last week from school. The house looks good!! One of my favorite things about Christmas is the lights!! Jason took me out one night to go look at all of them, oh man arent they just pretty!
Last Monday night we got a call from our cousin Cody from Montana, my cousin Wyatt was in a wrestling accident. Here is his story to sum up what happened.
Monday night the 21st of Dec, Wyatt got injuried during warm ups before his wrestling match. He sustained a cervical injury at the C-4 vertebrae which has left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. He has gone through successful surgery to stabilize and fuse the vertebrae in his neck. He will be here in the ICU at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital until after the New Year than he will be transferred to Denver to a hospital that specializes in spinal cord injuries. There is still a chance he will regain some movement in his arms after the swelling subsides. he currently has some movement in his left arm and very minimal use in his right. He is currently sedated to help him rest so he doesn't try to pull the tubes out.
Yesterday Wyatt was looking good but during the night he started to have some problems and the medical staff seem to think it could be from the trach. He is very swollen from his neck up, and having a heard time breathing and cant open his eyes because of it.
We were in Montana early this week with him and will be headed back there next week. He is a strong boy and a fighter!! Hopes are high for him right now. Love you cousin Wy. You can keep up with him through his site if you are interested.

While I was up at school a bunch of my friends and I got together for an ugly sweater party. We sure looked attractive that night :)
I was able to see Cousin Brooks one last time before he left for his mission in Tacoma WA. He will be such a great missionary! Love you Cousin.
My roommates and I decorated our room this year for Christmas, We didnt want to take it down before we left because it was so adorable! Sorry about the mess, just had to take pictures before the decor was taken down :)

Over Thanksgiving break I made Court some cookies, She is OBSESSED with pigs! Mom found this recipe so I had to make them for her! She said they were so adorable that she didnt want to eat them.. but poof they were gone very fast :)
Over Thanksgiving Break Jess was able to meet up with Lauren. They must have planned the puffy vests :]
Jess and I on black friday, need I say more on how tired we were. hahaa
Playing games with my friends that came home for the holidays.

Eating lunch at Geraldines Bakery over Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving was awesome, We just stayed home this year and spend it with Aunt Jackie, Uncle Dan, Am, Trav and Bridge. It was nice to just relax, Jess and I unfortunately spent a lot of our time working on homework, doing papers and last minute stuff before finals. Jess and I did awesome this year! I ended with all As and a B as my lowest and Jess had all As and an A- as her lowest! It was so nice to see in the end that our hard work did end up paying off!! Like Grandma Baker always says, we must take after her :]
I am enjoying myself home for the holidays; next semester is going to be very time consuming. After this semester I only have two classes left for prerecs. I am so excited!! Hope everything is going well for everyone! Im glad I finally got to blog, I was sure missing it :]
Merry Christmas everyone!!
