*December*

December has been great! Some of the Hunsaker clan decided to go to The Forgotten Carols! It was amazing and I think its going to be a tradition for years to come!
 I went to listen to Elizabeth Smart speak at UVU about her book and her life and how she has made it through. It was amazing to hear from her, she is truly inspiring!
 Of course we decided to have our Mexican Fiesta again this year. I look forward to the amazing mexican food and the good company! Here are my favorite people/roommates/best friends! Love them!
 Our Traditional Adult Hunsaker Family Dinner at Ruby River
 I went up with Bryan to see the christmas lights at temple square! It was amazing!
 Last minute SYTYCD tour with mom and Mccall!
Phew I'm all caught up for now... hopefully I can keep up :)

[Thanksgiving]

 We decided after 25 years we better reenact this great BYU family photo. I think we did a good job. I love them! 
Thanksgiving was amazing we had great food, good company, and lots to be thankful for! Here is one cute turkey (Nixon)!

BYU Football

One of the second to last football games my parents ended up giving me their tickets. So I invited my rommies (sadely allison couldn't come) We had so much fun even though it was FREEZING!!!


Funny face ;)

-hair change-

For a long time I've wanted a change in my hair color and I finally did it. I didn't want a dramatic change and I loved the melt look. I had my old friend Staci do it and she did an amazing job!





{Family Pictures}

Here is our family pictures for this year! I think they turned out really well considering they were taken in the backyard. 
I am reminded everyday how lucky I am to have a wonderful, caring, supportive family. I love that we all live close and can see each other at least once a month. I don't know what I do without them and they each hold a special place in my heart! I love my family! 

#halloween

Halloween was amazing this year. I was able to a ton of fun things like make carmel apples, carve pumpkins, and go to many haunted houses. We decided to go to fear factory on Halloween night. Here is our group!


 My pumpkin (Ron Swanson) if you haven't watched Parks and Rec I highly recommend it!

 Before the haunted house!

The Grotto, Payson Canyon

We went up to the Grotto with Russ, Misty, Bryce, dad, mom, and me for a little hike one Saturday. It was beautiful and fun! 














 I love Utah!


More October...

My dad supported Mia Love in her election at thanksgiving point. She spoke as well as Mitt Romney it was a really cool experience. I even got to shake Mitts hand! Its funny when my dad met Mitt he said Hi I'm Mayer Hunsaker from Santaquin... and he said I'm sorry I don't know where that is... haha
 We went and saw "Meet the Mormons" with grandma, grandpa, Lydia, Mccall, mom, and me. I was an amazing move and so inspirational! 

| October Conference |

Before the priesthood session of conference we decided to go to the Red Barn and go on a hayride. I was perfect weather and so beautiful we had fun picking pumpkins too!





~Provo Temple~

So in October I made the goal I would go to the temple at least once a month or even every two weeks. I asked my roommates if they wanted to go and they had stuff going on so I ended up going by myself. I was kinda nervous but I soon realized how great it is to go by yourself and not worry about other people. I was able to receive inspiration and insight that I hadn't received before. 
"As we go to the holy house, as we remember the covenant we make therein, we will be able to bear every trial and overcome each temptation. The temple provided purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls- not the peace provided by men but the peace promised by the son of god when he said, peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Thomas S. Monson

When I left I found this on my car when I got out of the temple!

(Lagoon)

This year my work decided to rent out Lagoon for our yearly party. I took Deedee and we had so much fun! It was right before Halloween so we got to see the fright mares! We really enjoyed ourselves and laughed so hard we cried.
