temple

This isn't the best picture, but I just wanted to update my blog for the first time in a while with a picture of my family at the Nashville LDS temple. Pictured with us are the Elders that baptized Chris, my father-in-law and his wife and my mamacita. We were sealed on Friday December 21. It was the best experience of my life. I will post more soon. We have Christmas presents to deliver, cookies to make and a yummy ham dinner to have. Be back soon!

review

We're still here...alive and kicking. Just super busy!

Thanksgiving: We had a nice quiet morning at home before going to Joanna's house for a yummy dinner. I really missed my family, but if you can't be with family, having good friends is the BEST. Here is a picture of us after Thanksgiving dinner.

Black Friday: I was going to go shopping. I even got up at 4:00am to go to Best Buy by 5:00am. But I quickly decided there wasn't anything I needed that bad to go out that early, and I went back to bed! When we all got up later, we decided to go shopping. It was so much fun! We all just went in our jammies/sweats. Addi had Chris's gigantic sweatshirt on and looked so cute. We went to Best Buy and Target and got almost everything that was on my list. I think we may have started a new tradition of going together as a family.

Christmas: We got our Christmas decorations up. Mason and Addi were dying to get our tree done. It took me a few days, but it's done. It takes me 2-3 times longer to do things now then they used to. I am really happy with how everything turned out. I made a few things like some ornaments, and sign and a new tree skirt. I'll try to post pictures of them soon.

I have been working on my Chrismas cards since November and I finally put the stamps on them today and will get them in the mail tomorrow. Go me!

My Christmas shopping is almost done too. Go me again! I have done a bunch of it online...SOOOO much easier. I just need to finish up and few last details and then I'll be able to relax!

Kannon: was still congested and had a yucky nose after about 3 weeks, so I took him to the doctor and he got his first prescription of Amoxicillin. Poor buddy! He is really good about taking it though and just sucks it down. Today he is 11 weeks old. It's so cliche, but the time really has gone by so fast! He is getting sooo big. He sucks on his hands all the time, is blowing spit bubbles, rolling over to his side, and he is smiling and cooing. He's still not sleeping very well, but that's ok. I'm getting used to it I guess!
