Playing Catch up

Christmas Time
We had such an amazing Christmas, we are very blessed! Brysen got so much stuff, he was very cranky Christmas morning and didn't understand really what was going on cause we woke him up pretty early! We stayed at my moms house Christmas Eve with my brothers and sisters! Brysen loved Santa this year he always said "ho ho" and Santa! Christmas morning we opened up presents and then had breakfast, the kids played till nap time and then all of us parents took a little nap! After that we had an amazing dinner thanks to my mom and just hung out relaxing and not really doing to much, it was great!

We also went to The Magical Forrest with my family sometime in December, it was so much fun, we had a great time! B loved all the lights and he was dancing around! I love watching the world threw my little mans eyes it makes growing up and being a parent the best thing ever and holidays so much better! 

Halloween and other October Fun

This October was full of funn not only did we go to Disneyland but we picked out our own pumpkins at the Orchard, carved them, went to the pumpkin patch, trunk or treating, and of course trick or treating! I love my family and all the fun things that we all do together! I love the start of the holidays and all the fun things to do from oct-dec :) Brysen was so cute on Halloween, he still is not sure what is really going on but he loved getting candy and putting it in his bag and running around with Ella and Luke

Disneyland 2011

Just like every other October we head to the happiest place on earth with the Horns, Christensen's, and James! I look forward to this trip from the day that we leave it every year! I love going to Disneyland with my family, we always have such a great time! This year was even more enjoyable because Brysen is older and he was so cute to watch and he loved riding all the rides! We left on a Monday and got to Cali early, we went to the beach for a little bit but it was freezing this year, after the beach we ate at BJS like we do every year! The next morning we got up bright and early and went to the Character breakfast, it was so fun! Brysen LOVED it and would get so excited to see, talk, and try to feed all the characters, he would get so mad when they would leave to go to the other tables! Then we had a fun filled day at Disneyland riding rides, eating churros and of course yummy Minnie Mouse apples! Wed we also spent the whole day in the park and then headed back home it was another great day and I am sad it is over with already but hey there is always next year to look forward too! I wish I could go to Disneyland every weekend haha its my favorite place well one of them :)

Girls Trip

On the weekend of the 23, My Mom, Shana, and I headed up to Salt Lake for a GIRLS TRIP! It was so much fun and such a nice little get away, I missed my sweet little family but it was so fun! Friday, we stopped in St. George and ate at Kneaders, then we shopped at Krumpettes and got some very very cute Halloween decorations! When we got to Salt Lake we got changed and went and ate at Tucanos and then did a little shopping! The next day my grandma, Stacy, and Callie headed up and we ate breakfast at the hotel and went shopping for almost the whole day! We went to the cutest Chocolate shop called Hatches, little people own it and operate it, it was so yummy, they have also been on TLC! After shopping we got to attend The Womans Session of General Conference, it was so amazing! A huge thanks to my Aunt Kathleen for getting us tickets and such great seats! After the broadcast we ate at the Blue Lemon, which i DON'T recommend anyone eating at this place! We had the most awful experience with a manager and food being cold and oh man I could go on and on but I won't! Sunday we kinda relaxed for a bit then headed home! It was a very fun and short trip but  I loved every second of it with the girls! Hopefully we can do it more often :)
