Merry Christmas Eve!

We had such a fun Christmas Eve this year. We went to Tim and Monica's house and Monica made her famous Christmas Eve Fondue for us. It was SO YUMMY! Here are the girls, I mean 3 cute Santas ready to cook away! Here is the FEAST!
We love doing dishes!


Christmas Eve PJs! I know it's not totally centered but we are still all in the picutre!

The weekend of the aprons!

So this year, I decided to make aprons for gifts. My sister was getting her girls a play kitchen and asked if I could make them all aprons. Then I saw a picture on the internet of an apron that looks like a santa suit and HAD to make them for some family members. I had been very busy with work/church calling and other things I was trying to get done down the house and then I got sick. So basically I had 1 weekend to make 8 aprons and it took me two full days, but I was so glad I made them because they turned out SO cute! I was so sick of the aprons I made for my sister and her girls that I didn't take a picture of them, but she said she will be sending some pictures soon so I can post them.

A Christmas Outing Part 1

The other week we went down to Gilbert and Mesa to visit our Hughes cousins. We breakfast for dinner and it was delicious! Then it was off to the temple to see the lights.

My cousin Katie made this! I am determined to make this by next Christmas. Here we are in front of a HUGE lemon tree. We took a ton of pictures and this was pretty much the best one that turned out. I am debating on this to be our Christmas card this year.

It was the above picture or this. I think i've changed my mind. Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I love how this picture turned out. I just love temple Christmas lights. Way to go Mesa Temple!!

Our House

I wanted to get some things up on the wall before I posted some pictures, so here you go! It is still a work in progress, but this is what we have so far.

Here is our red kitchen. It is so cozy!

A view of our living room.

Here is the chair that we got recovered. There were some problems with it but we still love how it turned out.

My brother Tim made this shelf! He is so talented.

We don't have any room to hang our stocking so that candle stick is holding them up right now. I'll have to remember to take them down before Santa fills them!

Here is our office. We Love the color!

This isn't the best picture but here is the office again.

Here is the cabinet at the top of the stairs I got for a steel of a deal! I still don't know what to put on it. Any suggestions?

This is my new favorite Christmas decoration.

Here is our living room all decorated for Christmas. Do you like our tiny tiney tree?

Happy Thanksgiving

We had so much fun this year in Utah for Thanksgiving. WE had Donavon's 3 brothers, Grandma Wright, 1 Wright cousin (Alicia,) and 1 Shelley cousin (Daniel.) This was my first big Thanksgiving that I have done and I must say that it turned out pretty well. Thanks everyone for coming!

Here I am cooking up a storm!

Here is everyone (minus the picture taker)

Donavon domitaed everyone with arm wrestling after our feast.

Wrestling was a different story

Merrill Family Photo Shoot

I took pictures for the Merrill family on Saturday. Monica was my trusty assistant and she did a GREAT JOB! I'm so glad she was there to help me out and give me some moral support. They are such a cute family and we had a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy!

New Bikes

So we got some new bikes a couple months ago and we finally had some time this weekend to go get them from my parent's house. Donavon got a road bike so he could go long distances. Tonight we road to Tim and Monica's house and we all road to my parent's house for dinner. We felt like a biker gang riding through the neighborhood. It was so fun and we could eat as much as we wanted during dinner because we knew we were getting exercise! It's a win win.

Here is Donavon, he was just heading out on a bike ride here.
Go Donavon! You ride that bike!
And I got a beach cruiser...where is the beach you ask? No where in site but I couldn't resist how cute this was. I LOVE IT! It even has a bell that says "I love my bike" I ring it all the time.
