Christmas Day

Mark had to work Christmas morning from 5:30 to 2. So Joseph and I went to our 9:00, one hour of Church for the Christmas program. Then we went to Dad's ward at 11. He was singing in the program which was amazing. About half way through I got a text from Mark saying he would be off at 12. :) So Joseph and I left church early to go pick up Mark, run home, change and pick some things up then headed back to Dad's. We had Dad's famous Sunday brunch then had Christmas with Dad and Lisa. Then Shelby,Jaeson, Mark, Joseph and I headed to Mom's. It was wonderful to be able to be abe to see all of our family on Christmas Day. Joseph got a potty from Grandma which I think I am more excited for then he was. :) After spending time with Mom we headed back to Dad's for Dinner and games. It was a very spiritual and peaceful day. I love being able to go to church on Christmas day.

Mom gave us our first pack of size 1 diapers!!

Christmas Morning

The three of us did our Christmas Morning on Christmas Eve morning because Mark had to work Christmas day. I didn't get a lot of pictures because we did a lot of video taping. We all had a great moring. Joseph got the hang of opening gifts pretty quickly but wanted to stop and play with each toy. So we had a long morning but to see his face when he got a new gift was priceless. He would say "oh Wow" or "nice". AMAZING!!

Having our son in our home made Christmas that much more SPECIAL!!

Christmas Eve

For Christmas Eve we all went over to Mom's. We had yummy snack food and then a wonderful dinner. All 3 of girls brought foood, what a team effort. After dinner we opened a few gifts from Mom and from Grandpa. Grandpa (with the help of the Farrs) made us beautiful scrapbooks. They are amazing.

It was a very special night to spend with the Family. We surely did miss all of our family especially Aaron and Monic. We are definitly blessed to have Joseph and to celebrate this wonderful season with him and family.

Putting up the Christmas Tree

Last Sunday Mark, Joseph and I put up our Christmas tree. Joseph loved it. He kept crawling under the tree and playing with the ornaments. This year all of our breakable ornaments are up high. Its' going to be a very special Christmas.

Thanksgiving 2011

Our Thanksgiving this year was wonderful. At 2 we went to the Shafers home for dinner. We have become really good friends with them. The food was delicious which I had been craving forever. Then we headed to Dad's for desert and games. Then ended our evening at Mom's for more desert. Here are the few pictures we took.

Joseph spent the night at Mom's while Mark and I went Black Friday shopping.

McCall Weekend

This weekend we were able to go to the condo in McCall. We invited our friends Michael, Vanessa and their daughter Emma. It didn't get above 30 degrees the whole weekend. We had fun playing games, watching football, playing the Wii and walking in town. It was a nice relaxing weekend.

Halloween

Last night we took Joseph out Trick or Treating. It was so cold and windy but Joseph stayed nice and warm in his costume. We stopped at the Browns, to Dad's and Lisa and then to Mom's. We hit a few houses around Dad's but it was cold!!
