Christmas

We had a great Christmas weekend. On Christmas eve we had dinner at my parents house, thanks Mom for the ham, it was great! Of course we got to open our one gift, which is always pajamas, mine were the cute silk ones from VS that I really wanted.

On Christmas morning, Travis and I opened our gifts from each other and the ones from his family. My amazing husband bought me a Wii, which we have been playing non-stop since Christmas and I got the Wii fit to go with it. Travis got an Xbox from his family, so we are just all gamed out at our house. Its been really fun to play with our friends and our family.

We had Christmas breakfast at my parents house and hung out there during the day. Its always nice just to have a fun day together and to spend time with each other.

Of course Hudson got spoiled, I think he walked away with at least 30 new toys and surprisingly only ruined a couple of them so far.

I just want to thank everyone who made our holiday amazing and spoiled us to death. It was so nice to spend time with our family and friends.

P.S. I'll post more pics later, this is all I had right now!

Playing in the Snow

Christmas Lights on Temple Square

I was very excited to go and see the lights on Temple Square this weekend. It always amazes me at how beautiful it is and just how many lights they put up. I loved the nativity sets from the different countries and the paper bag lights. I think with the warmer weather it encouraged more people to come out, because it was really crowded. But it was definitely worth it. I just love Christmas time!

O Christmas Tree

My favorite part about Christmas is putting up our tree. We usually get a real one, however when we moved into our house we wanted something really tall so we decided to invest in a 9.5' fake tree. The best part is that we can put it up on Thanksgiving and leave it till after Christmas and not worry about it dying...Here are a couple of pictures!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had Thanksgiving for the first time at our house this year. All of Travis' family came down from Wyoming for dinner. I was a little nervous to make the dinner by myself, but there were no complaints and I think it all turned out great. It really wasnt as bad as I made it out to be, I may even do it again. I had a kids table all set up for the boys and they loved it, they could even color on the table cloth, so that kept them entertained during dinner. It was fun to spend some time with our nephews, since we don't see them often. We watched our share of Christmas movies and put up our Christmas tree. It was a great weekend.
