This December we had a lot of family time and it was wonderful! I visited my beautiful sister in Salt Lake and we all went down to temple square. It was so amazing, I hadn't been for a few years. I forgot the amazing feeling that you get when you go visit such a beautiful place.

Our unofficial Family Christmas picture. |
I got a sewing machine for Christmas. It's been years since I've used one. Luckily Shawn has experience in pretty much everything and he gave me a good demo. I'm so lucky to have such a well rounded guy. He's pretty wonderful.


Christmas was one of the best ever this year. We all were able to come down to my parents house. I had a huge surprise for Shawn so I couldn't wait. Anyone who knows us knows that we are horrible at keeping surprises/secrets from each other. So this year I ordered everything online so that I could have it shipped to my parents. It was the only way I wouldn't be tempted to open anything early.

Shawn's big Christmas surprise. I'm definitely the best wife he's ever had :) |
My birthday is the day after Christmas. I had to go to work for a couple hours and while I was there I did a bit of online browsing and found my birthday present. I picked up Shawn after I got off and we went over to the dealership for a test drive. We've been wanting 4-wheel drive for awhile and for all the times we go to Island Park and Yellowstone we needed an SUV.
