Christmas time :)

These are just some random pics of things we have done this month! And My dad is finally home for a few weeks! He has been gone the last last year 1/2 basically, so we are so glad the movie is done and he is home!!!! YEA! Anywho we have made sugar cookies, gone to see lights at Temple Sq. (not impressed this year). Had the best Hot chocolate ever! And just been hanging watching Christmas movies. We (I should say I) want to take Becca to see Santa. Where is the best place to go though? Any opinions? The last pics on here are of Rachel eating food, it is so funny! She opens up her mouth as wide as it can possibly go and just downs each bite in seconds (she is a big fan of solid food). And she will say hmmmm after every bite! I love it! Funny girl. Becca is loving having pretty wrapped gifts under the tree. She likes to go down by them and just stare, and say "pretty presents". She is also contantly asking for "more snow please". I wish some how that I could arrange that for her, however I am no mother nature, so I hope someday she will understand :). Rachel is also pulling her self up on everything in sight. She loves her new found talent. ANywho thats all for now :)

Just the Girls :)

Just some random pics of me with my wonderful little daughters! I love them so much!

Nathans Birthday

I'm a little late in posting this! But Happy 27 babe! He actually had about several nights of birthday festivities because in my family you have a birth week, not just one day ;). But the pics below are of us at the Pie Pizza. Nathan would not put on a straight face for any pictures so this is all I could come up with. A couple of guys were playing live music while we were eating, so Nathan being Nathan (is not shy at all) walks up half way through one of there songs and starts singing with them! The last pic on here is with Nathan up there singing along:). Anywho just thought I would share. Love You Nathan :)

I am thankful for Home Depot

Serioulsy! It took 2 days for Nathan and I to find our live Christmas tree, why????.....well because every where we went wanted to charge us a minimum of 65 dollars (for the shortest tree in the lot). However if we wanted to 6-7 foot noble fir then we would at least pay 80-100. What?! I was about ready to give up on the idea of a Christmas tree. Until dun dun dun dun! Home Depot comes in and saves the day! I found the perfect Noble Fir 8 foot tree for only 35 dollars!!!! yes thats right. So maybe there lot did not have Reindeer and Santa and the Charm other lots had to offer, but hello! 40 -50 dollars saved on a Christmas tree was well wort it. So that is my happy story I just about cried over! Just thought I would share. Oh! And did I mention how heavenly my tree smells! It is incredible, it truly feels like the start of the Christmas season now!

Thanksgiving was awesome this year! Thanks for all of you who came and shared the evening at our home! We had a blast! This is the 3rd year I have made Thanksgiving dinner at our home, for family. I have a few pics of the event and just some random cute pics of the girls (as always :).

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! And a great Christmas season!

P.S. I am looking for some new Christmas music to add to our collection, so if you would be so kind as to tell me some of your favorites that would be wonderful! Thanks

Love Lauren
