Christmas Recap

We were busy little bees in the month of December. (although, let's be honest, who ISN'T busy in December? I think the month demands busyness of people. ;) )

And in the words of a favorite movie of mine, "Let me 'splain....No there is too much. Let me sum up..."

Decorating a large Christmas Tree was so much fun to do!

Allan's favorite part was putting on the star. :)

One of Allan's Christmas gifts was tickets to the Broadway performance of "American Idiot" featuring Green Day music.

Traveling home in the snow....it took us hours to get home from Salt Lake

At Allan's Army Reserve Christmas party. Love seeing my man all dressed up!

It was cold.

We made gingerbread houses/castles. :)

We got to spend an evening with this cute little girl. LOVED IT!

It snowed. A lot. I went home from work ealry. :)

 

Lindy loves ballet - and just had to dress up and practice in the living room!

Adorable-ness right there....

Lindy and Daddy decorating cookies for Santa

We got new pajamas

And loved opening Christmas presents on Christmas morning

We took cousin Abby to the Treehouse Museum

Had a sleepover and listened to Daddy read the BEST stories.

Chilled out and watched Mickey Mouse...

wore each other out to the point of falling asleep on the floor.

I think it's pretty safe to say that we had a most wonderful December and Christmas holiday. :o) Having Lindy around made it that much better and getting to see the magic of Christmas through her eyes is something I'll ALWAYS enjoy. :o)

Hello 2013!

Hello my friends!

Life has been so busy lately and I have been running myself into the ground. The evidence of that is the fact that I have been so sick the past few days. I'm pretty sure it's been some sort of flu or just a really, really bad cold. I had a really bad day yesterday, but am starting to feel a little bit better this morning.

The good news is that most of everything for our wedding reception is finally falling into place. Minus the fact that we don't officially have a date yet, we have been able to make some decisions regarding what we want and I'm happy that some things are falling into place.

In other news we took our engagement pictures last weekend in Ogden and it was a warm 18 degrees. I say warm, because it was below 10 degrees in Smithfield the entire time we were up there. The lowest we saw it was -14 degrees. It was super cold. :o) However, despite the cold I think we got some really good shots and I'm really excited to see all of the pictures. :o)

And now I think I'll get back to being sick on my living room couch while the snow continues to fall here at my house. Good thing it's my day off! Free snow day to me! :)
