Birthday and Christmas Fun!

I had such a wonderful birthday and Christmas vacation with Geoff and his family! Before we left, we had an early Christmas since we couldn't take our gifts with us. I was definitely spoiled! Geoff got me a FitBit Charge, so now I'll be more motivated to work out and keep track of how many calories I burn and all that fun stuff. It even tracks my sleep and I can set an alarm so it vibrates to wake me up, and it also vibrates and lets me know who is calling me on my cell phone! Pretty sweet. He also got me a Zumba workout game for the Xbox, a $50 Amazon gift card, a book I've been wanting by one of my favorite vloggers, the new Taylor Swift album and a Christmas album by another one of my favorite vloggers, and of course some cute socks and pajamas

I got him a car vacuum since he's been wanting one for forever, an Xbox game, a new watch, an awesome tie, some manly lotion and body wash, a gift card for lots of car washes and of course some pajamas.

I woke up to some lovely roses and a little gift beside it from Geoff. The gift he gave me was a spa manicure and pedicure, and I'm so excited to get pampered sometime in the next month or so!
We spent the majority of my birthday with Geoff's Uncle Roger, Aunt Leanne, and his cousins Ryan, Robby, April and Samantha. They were visiting Salt Lake for the day as they made their way from Washington to St. George, Utah. We hung out at the mall before eating a yummy dinner at Tucanos Brazilian Grill.

Geoff's family was driving from Washington to Arizona, and picked us up that evening so we could go to Arizona with them. We had Dairy Queen ice cream cake for my birthday before we made the 12 hour drive all through the night to Gilbert, Arizona.
Only picture I got of the cake... Oops!
We had a lot of fun in Arizona visiting family and doing some fun activities! Here's a rundown of some of the things we did:

  • We saw the Christmas lights at the Mesa Arizona Temple.
  • Saw the Loop of Lights, which is a street of Christmas lights where the houses go all-out.
  • Spent lots of time with all the family members that live in Arizona.
  • Ate way too much yummy, homemade food and homemade Christmas candy.
  • Went swimming... outside... in the middle of December... Who does that?!
  • Had a yummy kabob barbecue at a park where we played volleyball and frisbee.
  • Went on a hike and saw the most gorgeous views of Arizona.
  • Spent some time at the mall shopping and having fun.
  • Went shotgun shooting (Geoff's favorite part, I wouldn't go near the guns!)
  • Saw the gorgeous Gilbert Arizona Temple numerous times since we drove past it almost everyday.
  • Looked through some photo albums from back in the day when Geoff was the cutest little boy!
  • Played lots of board and card games. New favorite... Ticket to Ride!
  • Shared lots of memories, laughed way too much, and slept way too less!
