A Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! I hope everyone had a good holiday! It was alot of fun to visit family and just have a relaxing week. I'm so greatful that Brandon was able to miss work for that long and be able to relax for the most part with me. Thanks to my parents and brandon's parents for taking us in, feeding us and for the wonderful gifts that you don't need to buy for us. We love you all and are looking forward to the 2 weddings coming up!

PRESENTS!!

Christmas Eve trade-offs. Kayli got puzzles, Brandon got Itunes gift card, and I got a tree and lantern to decorate our house with!

MAKING MEMORIES

We had alot of fun things we did with family while we were visiting. Now that we have moved away from Utah and only visit once in awhile, the times we are with family seem more memorable.

My Aunt Carolyn, Shandee and Shae, Me and Kayli, My cousin Sheryl and Lincoln, Karin, and my mom.

EARLY CHRISTMAS


We had Christmas a little early this year since we left to Utah on Tuesday night. We opened presents Sunday morning.

Here is my Gadget girl! She now has her own camera so she doesn't have to accidentally erase pictures on mine.


Here is her with her ipod!! She loves that thing!



FUN WITH FRIENDS


Every Tuesday Me and a few friends get together with our 2 year olds and play, have lunch and do a craft or something fun. This month some things we've done is make angels, decorate gingerbread houses, and make sugar cookies.

Kayli's friends doing their favorite thing...watching tv.

Oh how we love Christmas time!

So we decided to have our own Thanksgiving dinner this last Sunday since I had boughten a 16 lb turkey (that I got for 39 cents a pound). I allowed Brandon the job of taking the neck and giblets out and rinsing out the inside. We should make it a tradition everytime we do a turkey that he does that part. :D The rest of the menu was stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potatoes, rolls, and apple pie. Yum!


Roasted to perfection! :D

Yay for tinsel!


Shand, this pic is for you! Thanks for the cute birthday outfit! :D
