SPOILED

Merry Christmas!
Oh wow did we have a good Christmas this year :) It was so much more fun having a little baby to share the magic with. I know she was not old enough to really care at all what was going on... but it was still fun.
This year we were with my family for the Holiday. We started off the night by getting together at my parents house to open presents from them and from each other. Of course they spoiled us way to much. Livi got the cutest doll from grandma and grandpa that had crocheted clothes.. SO CUTE! We then went over to janaes and had an old tradition of hogies... mmm mmm jess got jimmy johns bread and it was delicious! Of course there was traditional singing of christmas is upon us..... it was so much fun seeing everyone get into there actions and parts!

Christmas morning we planned on sleeping in, but we could hear emma and mason opening their presents and getting very excited about it at 5 am! We decided to go and wake livi up at about 5 30 and open all of ours!
This is where spoiled comes in.... I have always wanted a DSLR. Not only did he get me that, I got 7 lenses to go with it, photoshop, refectors, lens hoods, tripod, camera bags...... im sure there were more but there was so much to remember! I guess its safe to say i married the BEST guy in the whole wide world!
jess got one to:) so we went and took pictures of the guys flying chris's new cool kit.

A LITTLE BIT OF JESSICA IN MY LIFE... AND CHRIS AND LUKE

Jessica and Chris were SOOO nice to come up and spend the day with us up here in lonely Parowan. We had so much fun dressing luke up in snow clothes and taking him out to play. We bundled Livi up and took her out too, only she fell asleep she was so comfy! 

                                                       yes... we also saw some deer ;)

OUR FIRST THANKSGIVING AS A FAMILY!

I just cant believe how much more fun it was to have Olivia there this year. It feels strange during the holidays to have our very own family, strange but WONDERFUL!

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Meachams :) I am the biggest food girl and stuck into tradition so it made me nervous to go somewhere else this year other than our family thanksgiving at my parents. I know what to expect.... i know what order i load my plate up with... and exactly what goes on it :) So this year I warily eyed the food that was being made over at his familys.

It was so good! Just like being at my familys! except they do this noodle soup that goes over potatoes with homemade noodles that are to die for! This is what makes me glad to have two familys! But of course the way to my heart has always been to make good food :)

We had so much fun over at the rogers. It was so nice to see all of Josh's family that weekend. Everyone was there to eat dinner but Jerem and Jess ( cough losers cough cough ) but they did come just shortly after :) after hanging out there for a little, we went and saw krystals new beautiful home. which one the way there livi let out her first laugh that has yet to be heard again :(

thanks meachams for a wonderful thanksgiving!
