Christmas

This Christmas season was filled with all the wonders Christmas brings. Having a two year old makes everything wonderful and special. Tanner understood the moment the tree was up that Christmas was here. He spent his mornings looking for the magic elf, putting up each day on the advent calender, and then finishes it up with his new favorite drink hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. I got my love for Christmas from my mom however my dad is quite jolly himself, so as soon as I got one free moment after Thanksgiving my tree was up and the Christmas music was playing. The rest of the month was speckled with gingerbread, Christmas parties, family, and friends. I made it to most of my holiday outings I love to do. Festival of the Trees, the lights at Thanksgiving Point, sitting on Santa's lap (several times Tanner loved sitting on his lap), and the Gingerbread Festival. It was truly magic from start to finish so here are some pics and highlights of December

31 Years!

Last weekend we celebrated Glen's Birthday! 31 years old and what a wonderful person he has become. With each year that passes Glen amazes me with his love for his family, his success professionally, and his passion for life. Thank you to everyone who came to his party, we are blessed to have so many family and friends. So cheers to another wonderful year honey we love you.

Light up the Night

My mom, Aunt Janie, Aimee, Easton, Tanner and I all went down to the Spanish Fork Light Parade. I had never been before and I was very impressed. Tanner absolutely loved it. He waved to all the people going by and was so happy to see Santa! I love Christmas time and this year Tanner is just the right age to be full of wonder.

Tanner

Skye just posted some of the pics she took of Tanner on her blog. I love going to her she is sooooo talented. Tanner was a little bit more busy this time but, she still got some great shots. I can't wait to see the rest of them!

What a week!!!!!

Last week was rough I'm not sure if it was one particular thing that made it not so enjoyable or many....
Was it my knee was killing me?
Was it finding out sister is moving to Dallas?
Was it the trial period on my computer programs are up?
Was it the tantrum Tanner threw over the little cart at Smiths Marketplace.
Was it unable to get labels made at three separate Kinkos?
Was it the old woman who approached me and told me to return my cart that still had my diaper bag and purse in it to the cart return? (I was clearly not finished with it just trying to calm my child down after the tantrum)
Could it have been the news?
Or maybe my trainer being a flake?

Not really sure, but now in the spirit of Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for my knee.
I'm thankful for my sister.
I think I'm thankful for my computer.
I'm thankful for Tanner, tantrums and all.
I'm thankful for the new Smiths Marketplace not to mention the food.
I'm thankful for Kinko's.
I can't say I'm thankful for the old lady who wants to tell me what to do mid tantrum, but I am thankful for carts and cart returns.
I'm thankful my husbands job in this bad economy.
I'm thankful for my fun friend who trains with me.


Wow I do feel better but I am still not tired I really need to figure this sleep thing out.

NOOOOOOO!!!

I got the news this week that my sweet sister and her family are moving to Dallas. I will admit I am very sad :( but I do understand. Travis got a great job so off they go. Its going to be hard not to have them so close we have been each others lifelines for the last few years. She helps me out so much with Tanner and we are able to do lots of fun things together. I know we will only be a phone call and I am sure my adjustment will not be as hard as hers. I wish you guys the best of luck and I will visit often.

First Big Snow

We woke up this morning to lots and lots of snow. Tanner instantly wanted to go out and play in it so when Kristen called and said she was going to start clearing her driveway I thought OK perfect. So I bundled Tanner up and out we went to shovel the driveway. About three min. into it Tanner had a melt down all he kept saying was mamas bed in between the sobs.


Resting in mamas bed.
