Christmas, Snow, and Family

Justin and I had a great Christmas! It was so nice to be with family. Here are a few pictures of what we did. More picture to come as I get them!

Christmas Cheer

Justin and I cooked and cooked and this is the result. . and now all the leftover cookies are gone! Time to start cooking again!

Another Stocking

Stockings and Quilt!!!

I've been busy sewing pretty much since we got to Portland. I've been sewing Christmas gifts, my quilt, and stockings. I'm going to post a few pictures so you can see what I've been up to, but the Christmas gifts will have to wait. :) I've been having a lot of fun learning how to sew a lot better than I could! I got the stocking pattern from a quilting magazine that Jami had and the quilt pattern I got from my Grandmother.

Thanksgiving

This past weekend was wonderful. I truly have so much to be grateful for. My number one thing that I am grateful for is my family. They are beautiful and wonderful in every way. Justin and I went to my parent's home for Thanksgiving this year. This picture was taken right before we ate dinner. We went to a nearby park and took a few pictures in the rain. We think we got pretty lucky considering we only took three pictures. :)
I went shopping with my sisters the day after Thanksgiving. We had fun and got most of what we wanted or needed to get. Audrey got a Wii. It was pretty fun to see the ENTIRE family get into it. Our shoulders and arms are literally sore from playing so much. I am looking forward to spending more time with my family soon! I love you guys!

Halloween

Halloween this year was pretty low key. I was sick the whole week and then Justin got sick the night before Halloween. . .so we ended up staying home for a good part of the day. Unfortunately we missed out on a Beaver game and time with my family. Sad. . but we didn't want to share this bug. Jaylen got to go trunk-or-treating and Justin and I stayed home. I worked on my quilt and Justin and Joe watched the Oregon football game. So exciting. . . we did carve pumpkins however and they turned out pretty cute. I designed mine. . It is a witch on a broom. :) I'll spare you the pictures with me in them.. I took to wearing my pjs all week and no makeup. . haha.

Logan

Justin grew up with a "brother" other than Jaylen and James. Brandon lived with him for quite a while when Justin was in high school and while he was on his mission. Point is. . Brandon got married at the Logan temple on the 24th of October and we were able to make the trip to be there. Here are a few pics from the trip. We had a good time with the family. We were only missing Jaylen and Mallorie on this trip.
