Merry Christmas!!

This year was a Different Christmas for me...

It was a Great one for sure but not the same Tradition that I've been doing since I was a baby.

On Christmas Eve we usually go to Grandma Andersons for a Big Party, Well this year

they weren't feeling the best... Grandma had a bad fall a few weeks ago and really hurt her back. She has been sitting on heating pads to help with the pain.. So this year instead of the big party a few of us went over and took them dinner and gave them their presents.

 After Grandmas Griffin and I went to my Parents to spend some time with them..They gave us our gifts and we gave them theirs.

 They SPOILED us :D

 We ending up spending Christmas Eve night over at the Blands.

In the morning we all exchanged Gifts. It was a great time...

 Kinect!!!! SO much Fun!

 Yup adult presents now haha!! Love this Vacuum.

 Next... Over to Grandma Paynes for Christmas Brunch!!!

 Isn't she Precious!??

Look at that cute Christmas Outfit!!

She is so cute we just love her to death.

 More Spoiling!!!

Then we went back to my parents to hang out for a little before we went and saw a movie with the Blands.

Lets just say we saw the DUMBEST movie ever!!!

Do Not Go See 'How do you Know'!!!!

 Like I said it was a great year but different!!

We got spoiled and we got to spoil other people!!

LOVE Christmas!

xoxo <3

Festival...

Of Trees!!!

Over the weekend the Beginning of December I took work off to take Laryssa off

Lindsay and Zach's Hands.

So on that Friday my mom called and said she had tickets to go to see all these AMAZING Trees!

 Meeting Santa Clause!! Or in Ryssa's words... "Ho Ho Ho!!"

She is not scared of him like most little ones :D

 U of U or BYU??

Not even a question who to cheer for... U of U all the way!!!

 There was this yummy goodie shop you could get chocolate on just about anything you

wanted... Laryssa LOVES marsh mellows so of course that is what she got!!!

My mom and I got some other yummy treats!!!

 Santa's work shop!!!

What a super fun night out!!!

Thank you mom for helping me make this night way fun with Ryssa Roo!!

All the trees were so pretty and done up so great. I just wish I had the talent and eye to make 

our Tree look so Festive!  

Temple Lights

My family loves to go Downtown and look at the Temple Lights every Year!!

We drove down and met up with Lindsay, Zach, and Laryssa so we could

all walk around the Temple Grounds and look at the AMAZING lights!

Linds and Zach brought this Stroller for Ryss but she

is a BIG girl and wanted to walk the whole time but then She realized it was a lot of

walking and wanted Grandma to hold her the entire time

and would not let anyone else hold her... what a stinker!! ( A very cute one at that!)

How Super Crazy to think and Griff and I were here just 4 Months ago being married!!

It is the most amazing thing ever to come back and enjoy the happiness that our Wedding Day held.

My family had a blast it wasn't that cold and the weather was perfect for

looking at the lights!!

Thank you to everyone who took all that time to wrap each branch with pretty Christmas lights..

You sure make our Tradition the best!!!

Tired Baby Girl....

Yup it is Official!! My niece is the most adorable niece out there!!!

She is so CUTE!!
