Christmas is Coming the Goose is Getting Fat, Please Put a Penny in the Old Man's Hat.

I love the holiday season. Even with the cold weather and all the of hustle and bustle that comes with it, there is always such a great spirit to be felt. Bryce and I have talked about the different traditions each of our families have and what one's we would like to incorporate into our little family. We have already set some in place and are excited for Christmas day.
On December first we decorated our Christmas tree which Bryce's brother, Dave, so graciously let us borrow. Mom gave me some old decorations for the tree. We had to first remove all of the leftover tinsel which Dave left on it :) and then Bryce was able to put the lights on followed by the lovely decorating skills by me. We love our little tree!
We also made a gingerbread train set that night, which was actually a gift I gave Bryce last year as part of his twelve days of Christmas. So we finally put it together with the hardened frosting and stale candy. It's quite the masterpiece if I may say so myself.
Bryce has said to me that it is a great thing to give but more importantly we need to receive of Christ's love. So amid all of your Christmas shopping and giving of gifts, don't forget to take in His spirit and His love this season, as it will bless your life and help you keep on giving to all of those around you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving 2009: San Diego's fabulous weather, delicious food and spending time with Jamie, Colin and Presley. It was me and Bryce's first Thanksgiving together and we had a lot of fun with the Haslam family out in California. As you can see from the pictures there are some crazies in the family. Yes, the U fans outnumbered the Cougar fans. Too bad their enthusiasm for their precious team went to waist since they lost!
After Jamie, Colin, Presley and Sue left for San Fransisco, all the guys and I ended up going to a sports bar to watch the game. I started getting a headache from all of the smack talk the boys were doing. All I had to do was keep quiet and patiently wait for my cougars to pull through. Oh sweet victory! Bragging rights are mine for one year and the best part is Bryce and I made a bet, which he lost, so today when we go to dinner at my parents he has to wear his BYU shirt and stickers on his face. As Presley would say, "Cougars #1!".

We loved spending time with Presley and listening to her talk. She is at the stage when she loves to run around naked after her bath for as long as she can. It's the cutest thing.

We went to In-N-Out while visiting. It was good but I still think 5 Guys is better.

We stayed at a nice hotel right in the city the night before we flew out. The airport was only about ten minutes away and the planes would fly right by our hotel to land. We woke up at 5:45 to catch our flight and took a picture out on the balcony before we left.

"So Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out!"

Saturday morning arrived and I was scheduled to go another Utah game with Bryce that afternoon. I wasn't really feeling it though so I told him to go without me. Around ten my dad called and asked if I wanted to go the BYU game and of course I said YES! So I ditched my hubby to go see my beloved Cougars beat Airforce. I had fun laughing with Emilee and Alyssa and dad snuck in some hot chocolate and treats to help keep us warm and happy.

It was a great game and will be the last one I go to in a very long time. :( Thanks dad for inviting me! I had so much fun!
