fa la la la la

its my favorite time of year!

This is our first christmas as a married couple and it has been so fun celebrating this season together.

We have watched a lot of elf. i have watched it probably 20 times in the last month. not even kidding. It just felt necessary to get this shirt for jord.

 we decorated a little early... like november 9th. whoops! i don't care! i love the way it warms up our little home.

 we went to the LA temple to look at the lights (not pictured: temple or lights. they were a little underwhelming. )

 My aunt and uncle went to vegas for the weekend so jordan and i inherited 5 kids. I took the girls to watch our neighbor in a christmas ballet.

The next night we took all the kids in the car and drove through the thanksgiving point lights. SO fun!

 We went to our favorite place, desert star (it is a dinner/show where they do musical spoofs. we love it!). This show was the grinch and it was hilarious! i think we loved it more than the kids!

I have done SO much wrapping. Jordan NEVER wraps because he begs his mom or sister to do it. this year he was on his own and after 45 minutes of wrapping ONE present he was very proud. 

I have been really excited to spend my first christmas season in snow (I'm going to hate the snow after) but utah hasn't snowed one bit!
last sunday i woke up to the slightest snow fall and i was so excited!
snow is seriously so pretty.
i think i would love it if i wasn't such a crappy driver.


now we are in sunny CA spending christmas with our families.
merry christmas to you and yours. i hope you are spending lots of time with your families and eating good food (i know we are!).
