...decorating for the holidays...

On Black Friday, Beth (mother in law), Chelsea (sister in law), Lizzy (Chelsea's sister in law) and I decided to make the most of it. We went to the outlets in San Diego to do a little Christmas shopping and also to find decorations for the holidays.

Today Cason and I decided we want to put up our tree and put the ornaments to good use. Cason made his way over to Home Depot and found the perfect tree.

Ironman!

After

I love Christmas! It was so much fun to decorate the tree and put our lovely ornaments in the right places. It makes our room a little more cozy. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving break!! We sure did!

...celebrations...

Happy Birthday Mom!! I love you and am so grateful for you! You are amazing and I am glad you are my mom. I can't believe you are only 32! hehe. Hope you had the best day!!! Wish I could be there to celebrate.


Also...Happy Anniversary to my parents! They are off in Hawaii celebrating and enjoying themselves. I am so glad you married each other! :) I love you and miss you both so much!

...home sweet little home...

From returning things, to finding the right nails, to deciding which ottomans look the best...we are finally almost finished decorating our new little apartment! Take a look! (there are still some things that need adjusting and adding to, but you get the idea.)

(we bought that dresser from IKEA. (If we had to do it again, we think we'd pay the extra $100 to not have to put it together ourselves.)

So there is our home!!

...utah & fishin'...

A week ago Cason was able to go fishing with his dad in Redding, California. The fish swam more than 100 miles from the ocean to the part of the river where they fished. They caught some pretty big ones and were really excited about their trip!

My handsome husband

Here is Dave with a 31.5 inch steel head. It was the longest steel head he has ever caught!!

While they were fishing, I visited my family in Utah. We went to lunch...

saw this big boy...
(and if this face doesn't make you want little kids, I don't know what does!)

saw this other little boy...
(and also, if this boy doesn't make you want babies, I don't know what else does!)

This is one of my favorite things to do!!


and I also got to hang out with my sisters and mom...
(not all of them are pictured)


Watched the BYU game with my dad, brothers, and grandpa, and got to see some of my friends while I was in town. It's been a long time since I've seen them, so it was good to catch up!!

Thanks for entertaining me while I was in town! Now family, it's time to come visit us! :)
