Tis the Season

We decorated our little apartment for Christmas and I think it finally has the holiday spirit. This is the first time we actually are going to be here for so much of the holidays because of work and everything so I tried to make it feel a little more like home.


Tyler has all these little snowman ornaments from when he was growing up so we made this his little tree for all of those. It is pretty cute, but a little bit squished.

I know everyone is leaving and going places for the break so we just wanted to say Merry Christmas! I hope everyone gets everything they ever wanted for Christmas and that santa finds you all...

my new Nephew!

My older brother Josh just had a new little baby boy named Henry. He is SO cute! They live in New York so I havent even seen him yet but I am already in love with him.


This cute little girl is Olivia my niece. She is the funniest little girl and she looks just like my brother! I thought since they are in little christmas outfits I would put these up for the holidays...

Catching up

I have been really busy with work lately and haven't had much time to catch up with our Thanksgiving and the other stuff we've been doing. It seems like time is flying by so fast now that I'm working and I am scared that Christmas will come and go as fast as Thanksgiving. I was so excited to put up our Christmas stuff and I am so excited for christmas!! ( this picture really shows how excited we are... haha)

This past weekend we got to hang out with some of Tylers brothers and their wife/girlfriend. We went to dinner and the lights at temple square and then they spent the night and we watched the Grinch. Of course we missed the real lights at temple square because they turned off right when we got there ( I think that happens to me every year) but we still got to see alot of lights right around there.

We are so lucky to have such fun brothers and sisters so close to our age. We had alot of fun with them!
We also met up with Nikki and Tony and Jenna and Chase and went to the movie FOur Christmases. I really wanted to see it because me and Tyler together also have FOUR families to visit! It is almost impossible to do. It was a pretty funny movie and fun to see them again too.


For Thanksgiving me and Tyler went to Arizona with my dad, his wife, and my step sister. My grandparents and some of my aunts live down there and my grandpa has been a little under the weather. It was really good to see everyone and introduce Tyler to more of my family!

Besides the driving it took to get down there it turned out to be pretty fun. We stayed at a really fun hotel and it was nice enough to lay out and swim in the pool (which was one of my favorite parts!) We also went shopping alot, went to the lighting of the Mesa Arizona temple (with Brooke White), went to visit one of Tylers cousins and his family and Tyler got to go golfing.

This picture was at the Mesa temple with my cousins Douglas and Jared who we hadnt seen forever! Tyler had alot of fun with them golfing. It was so fun to see them and meet their wives.
