FUN IN THE SNOW

Ava and Nick had so much fun in the snow. And the rest of us had fun watching them have fun. Haha, just kidding, it was a blast.

So cute, don't you think?

Nick and I. (Remind me to wear makeup everyday... I'm past the natural beauty stage. ;)

This picture cracks me up. Cheers for Britt, way to take one for the team.

Nick is so brave. We actually went out today and he discovered he loves going down on his tummy.

Grandma and Ava.

Britt and I.

Look at the determination in her eyes...

Nick loves his Grandpa.

Ava loved the snow.

Look at that smile and those pretty eyes. She's gonna be a heart breaker.

Aunt Brittany is great.

Naters and his little Ava.

*A LITTLE BIT OF CHRISTMAS*

Christmas was so fun this year! We were lucky to have my whole family here in Utah. It was a great holiday filled with games, food and non-stop partying. It was fun to see my Sisters' belly growing. We are excited to have a little boy cousin for Nick in the next little while. I have no doubt Jessi and Chris will be amazing parents. Nate, Chels and Ava were able to stay in Utah for 2 weeks! It was so fun to spend time with them. And they are saying goodbye to Hawaii, to enjoy the snow of Colorado. Quite a change :) And it is always fun to have Ashley, Will and Marenn close. As well as Britt and my parents. And we are missing everyone already and sad life is back to normal. Lol.

Nick was a blast this year. He loved sleeping over at Grandma's on Christmas Eve. And sneaking to the presents in the morning. And can not get enough of eggnog.

And what is Christmas without Britt playing us some tunes.

Chelsea and Ava. Ava is 1, growing up too fast already.

Matching dresses were adorable. Cousins Marenn and Ava.

Little Ava with Dad.

Cute Marenn enjoying Christmas.

My beautiful Sister Brittany.

Great Grandpa Hill, to the 3 cousins.

Grandma and Grandpa LOVING all these grand kids.

This is how Nick eats almost any food. Haha.

Our family loves games. (And Scotland Yard comes highly recommended). But scum is another favorite.

The KING, Uncle "Christmas" as Nick calls Chris. Haha, pretty cute.

Christmas Eve is always a huge deal. We had our Grandparents Call over. And our Uncle Kim who we don't see nearly as often as we wish we could. It was so fun to have him here.

Nick made friends with Kim fast.

Nate and Chelsea.

Will and Marenn.

Cute little baby Marenn.

Ava and Chels.

Nate, Ava and Chels.

I love when Nick gets excited. He is totally a different person. This was the winner this year. He kept saying "Ooooh trucks and cars, trucks and cars!!"

Chris with Ava.

Chris and Jessi.

***MERRY CHRISTMAS***

RANDOM PICTURES OF NICK

Today Nick came home from preschool and went straight to the decorated tree and said "Ho, ho, ho." Santa is on his way!!

"I love you!"

Bagels for breakfast cracks me up. Nick always gets a dot of cream cheese on his nose.

YOGA WITH MAMA

What a funny kid. Nick wanted to do yoga with me today. He didn't do too bad! Look at that concentration.

MY LITTLE REINDEER

I love when my little guy comes home from preschool. Today they learned about snow, and the holidays. Isn't he cute??

PLAY DOUGH TIME

Nick and I decided to pull out the play dough today, and had a blast!

I ALWAYS THOUGH 30 WOULD BE MY SCARY YEAR...

Turns out it's 27!!

Yep, today was my birthday and I was spoiled this year! This is me decked out with my new stuff. Hat, gloves, winter coat, a Christmas moose, Martinelli's and Cella's chocolates. I was able to do lunch with my Mom and Sister today, and that was so fun! Thanks everyone for all the phone calls and messages. :)

Nick absolutely loves this moose grandma gave us! He is so funny. He was walking around with it the other day, and the thing is his same size! He loves it, even gives it goodnight kisses. Lol. What a cutie I have.

Ready for Christmas! After 4 years of being in charge of seasonal at Robert's Crafts. The holidays were just a hectic time of the year that was only enjoyed AFTER new years. It has now been over 3 years that I have have had to work. And I am finally starting to enjoy Christmas again! We even got the tree up before Thanksgiving. Nick loves the tree, any lights he sees anywhere he calls "Christmas tree" Its funny. We have 2 jingle bells hidden on the tree too that Nick loves to find. It's gonna be a fun holiday with a 3 year old.

And after 4 1/2 years of marriage, we finally got STOCKINGS! Lol, we just kinda never got around to it. And we decided it would be fun to start. Well, we are loving the season already and hope that everyone else is too.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

This year my Parents have worked like crazy to sort hundreds of childhood pictures. It is a huge project and I can't wait to see them all when it is complete. My Dad was able to scan a few, so I got a little sneak peek. Oh I was such a crazy, active kid. Haha, I though I would post them for kicks.

I was the CHUBBIEST baby!! Haha, Nate on the left and Jessie in Center.
