Good Times

Brandon and I recently celebrated our 4th anniversary of our first date!  On our first date we went to a movie and out to eat, so on each anniversary of that date we go to dinner and a movie!  I love that Brandon plans this night for us!  We found this cowboy at our restaurant - glad I remembered to get a picture of the night!

And on Friday, my mom sister and me spent some girl time together in Salt Lake.  It was so nice to spend the day together shopping and talking! What a nice day!

We found some fun St. Pats stuff to try out!

We hope you have some Good Times yourself!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

What a super fun Christmas we had - we all got pretty spoiled!!  It was so nice to spend the day with family and all together!  We can't wait to have a little one of our own to spoil one day!  We hope you had a fun Christmas too!

My favorite Christmas Tradition: Brandon and I write love letters to each other, stick them in the tree and we read them Christmas morning.  Great way to start the day!

Our stockings were packed with all of our favorite things!!

We got a little relaxing in before we went to my parents' house for more fun!

Brandon got me a cool fish-eye lens for my phone - check out all of the presents at my parents' house!

Playing fun games with my nieces and nephews.

Another one of my favorite Christmas traditions is a day of shopping with Brandon a day or two after Christmas.  Look at all the yummy and crazy chocolate items we found while shopping! Crazy!  Oh, and the bacon chocolate is GROSS, trust me on this one! ;-)

And Happy New Year too!  We slept through the New Year - I ended up taking down all of our Christmas decorations that day, so while I was busy doing that we ordered take out and we were ready for bed by around 10:00 ... but we were able to have a lot of fun the day of!

My aunt's birthday is on New Years Day so my family went to 'Les Miserables' and out to eat to celebrate with her - fun day and awesome movie!

Wishing you the best 2013 ever!

Christmas Cards & Christmas Lights

Here are our Christmas Cards!

I also made this silly one of our dog Diesel just for fun.

Oh, and just before Christmas I went with family to Temple Square in Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights.  It was so fun and so cold and so beautiful!

Holiday Fun

Christmas is only 2 weeks away! I am so excited!
The weekend after Thanksgiving we went out and bought our Christmas Tree!

The stump is a little crooked so we had a time of it putting the sucker up but it's a beauty!

Enjoying a little sparkling cider after decorating the tree

Our cat has taken up residence under it, especially when it's lit up. I think it's so cute that she likes it that I can't bring myself to put any presents where she likes to sit so they've started to pile up around her.

Our family got together to make gingerbread houses too! Our nieces and nephews do the best job at making their houses so cute and sweet! This is a favorite tradition of mine!

Merry Christmas all! 

p.s. Don't tell Brandon I put this picture on here - I'm sure he'll hate how I fancied it up (especially with a crown on him). LOL!
