Christmas Whaaaat!! AND School's cool.

Recap on my life over the past few weeks...
Christmas=The bomb.com 
We all got to talk to our Nadsie and it was the best.
She was only allowed 59 min and 59 seconds to talk, and if she went over she wasn't allowed to talk to us on Mothers day.
 Which means no bueno major. So we spread out the time, and it all worked out fine :)

We LOVED having Andy, Amanda, and Ethan over for Christmas. 

I mean seriously-- look at Ethan's face. Freaking adorable. 

Each year we take turns opening presents, from youngest to oldest. 

One present each, and lemme tell you-- it takes FOREVER. 

And because it takes so long, I get really antsy and start slowly opening my present before it's my turn. Apparently they've learned I do this, so now every year all my gifts have 600 layers of tape. 

Makes it a lot harder to open, haha. 

So this year, I snap chatted lots with my lil bestie brother, and held Ethan to distract me from opening presents before it was my turn. It was great.

    

Before we can go see what Santa brought us, we all line up on the stairs from youngest to oldest and our momma films us walking down, excited for Christmas. 

So just to keep tradition alive with our Nadsie, we took a picture with her lined up on the stairs. 

Christmas was great. Spent lots of time with my family. 

And guess what? We didn't even fight once!

Ha ha. Probably cuz we were all so happy we got to talk to Nat, and also, who wouldn't be happy celebrating the birth of our Savior!! 

That was our Hernandez Christmas!!

THEN...

A couple months ago, I got accepted to Utah State University. 

Took a lot of thinking and praying, and in the end I decided I'd go!

So that meant, packing up and moving to good 'ol Logan, Utah. 

Which also meant, leaving my fam, and my home ward. 

I've never had my records anywhere other than my family ward. 

So I now had to say goodbye to my Primary class.  

I've been a primary teacher for almost FIVE years. Yeah, I know-what the.

I had my last class of Primary two weeks ago. 

It was kinda sad leaving those little kids. Love them to death. 

But I was so glad I got to teach them twice. Once when they were Sunbeams, and then again in the CTR 5 class. It was the best.

Missing Abby, but these were our last Sundays together. (Isabelle, Austin, and Ethan)

That's the highlight of my life the past few weeks. It's been a lot of fun, and a lot of new adjusting to. 

Excited to go home this weekend and see my besties and my fam!
