Wrapping up 2010

Well, as many of you have seen, I have been awful at updating my blog. Life is always a crazy whirlwind of events. Before I move right into 2011 I thought I would share some pictures from our Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday. For Thanksgiving Shaun and I, and my sister Emilee traveled to California to visit our family out there. It was an amazing Thanksgiving full of family time and so much love! This year Shaun's family AND my family had Thanksgiving together with a few other close friends and my mom's cousin. My family likes to party so this was right up our alley! The day after Thanksgiving we went with my family to the Beach. We had so much fun and it was so nice being back at the beach after almost 2 years!

I thought it would be fun to fold the napkins into something other than a triangle. This is the Birds of Paradise fold. It was so much fun!

I am always amazed at how beautiful the beach is!

This is one of my favorite pictures of my little sister Katelyn (4 1/2), Jacob (16), and Saryn (14).

My mom and I at the beach. I love her!

My little sister Katelyn showing off her new hat and her cool new sunglasses!

This is another one of my favorite pictures. It pretty much captures our life in a nutshell, everyone in my family doing there own thing.

So that wraps up our Thanksgiving trip, it was a lot of fun, and although we don't have any pictures of  Shaun's family we did visit them and we love to visit them when we get the chance!

This Christmas season started off with snow, making snow Angels in the middle of the road, and watching my cousins, TJ (8) and Juliet (4 months).

The start of one very cold winter

My sister, Emilee, who is out here at college was hanging out with me one night when she decided it would be fun to make a snow angel in the middle of street in front of our house. It was fun, she always makes me laugh!

Shaun and I got to watch my cousins while my Aunt Brittany and her husband Joe went to his company Christmas Party. I made Santa masks with my Cousin TJ while Shaun played with Julie aka cuddled with her.

TJ's mask all done!

Shaun with Juliet. She is our best friend! It is so fun to see Shaun interact with Juliet.

Juliet and me just chillin

 For Christmas we stayed in Utah but were fortunate enough to have Shaun's dad, Jason and Stepmom, Sue, down for Christmas. It was a wonderful couple days that started off with family coming over and baking Christmas cookie with us Christmas Eve and eating yummy food with us. Christmas morning was a lot of fun, and started off with Cinnamon Rolls and Apple Cider then PRESENT OPENING!! 

On Christmas Even my Aunt Brittany and her family came over to make Christmas cookies. My father-in-law, Jason got to hold the baby and he was so excited and so cute with her.

On the Sunday after Christmas we went to Spanish Fork to drive around their Festival of Lights. You basically sit in the car, and turn you radio to their station and listen to Christmas Music while you drive through a park with a lot of fun Christmas lights

My favorite gift from my hubby! He got me Paula Dean red speckled Pots and Pans that I have been wanting FOREVER!! They are amazing, I just love them!

That wraps up 2010, which was an amazing year for Shaun and I. We celebrated our 3rd Anniversary, started fertility treatments, and moved into a home. We are truly blessed and look forward to another great year!
