Ahhhh......Christmas.......
I'm feelin the spirit of christmas! Kirsten and I got the tree up today, not decorated because her dad came to get her but we will finish up on sunday after church. We got the christmas cd's out today and soaked up the spirit of christmas! I feel it in the air and very excited about this time of year. Sipping hot choclate, bundling up to see the christmas lights, feeling the chill in the air. Gotta get the christmas shopping done, any ideas for my 8 year old nephew, and kirsten?
Christmas and Thanksgiving to me are such family holidays. Its been a hard adjustment just being Kirsten and I, but I am grateful for our little family no matter how small. I love to see her excitment about it being christmas time. I long to be a full family again and I know it will happen again, just takes a little patience and time.
I'm so grateful for this time of year, to gather with those I love and celebrate the birth of our Savior. I keep reminding myself the real reason for this season, I'm grateful for Christs love, understanding and mercy he has shown upon me. I'm grateful for the sorrows he has carried and for the love I feel from him!!
Merry Christmas!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
We spent thanksgiving at my aunt claudias! We had a wonderful time with my grandma, sister hayley, and other sister Piper and her kids. It was a good meal and great conmpany. We missed Taylor, Kim, and Kara and especially mom and dad! Kirsten and I enjoyed Enchanted all by ourselves it was fun but both of us were very tired!
A few things I am grateful for:
1. my beautiful healthy daughter and the laughter, joy, and love she brings into my life.
2. my health.
3. my family, they support me no matter what sort of mistakes I make. I don't know where I would be without them.
4. my friends, they listen to my same stories over and over, keep my spirits up, and the laughter I need in my life!
5. the gospel, I know I would be nothing without it and can be everything with it!

6 things about me...
tagged by non other than Marilee
The rules of the game should be posted at the beginning of the post. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1. I am a shopoholic, I love to shop!!! I do keep it to a minimum however there are times where I just can't resist and enjoy spending money on clothes and shoes for kirsten and I. Having a baby girl doesn't help either!
2. I hate writing about myself, which is why I only post pics on my blog these days.
3. I wear my emotions on my sleeve, which is why I am writting about emotions. hahaha it has been and up and down sort of month, good days and really really bad days! THats me :)
4. I love music, I really want to get back into playing the piano more. Growing up we always had great music playing or one of my sibblings playing the piano. I really miss that!
5. I love going out and getting all dressed up! I don't get to do it as often as I would like but I love going to dinner with friends or a handsome guy and get dressed up. Its so fun!
6. LIfe the past year hasn't been quite as I expected and its been the hardest time in my life but I keep telling myself that I will come out on top and I will be happier than I ever imagined (I've been told by people the more you tell yourself things the more likely they will come true)
sorry things are so random, I couldn't think of anything exciting.
I tag kara, Kim, hayley, sarah, lindsey and dawn. Course you don't have to do it but ..go ahead if you wanna!

THE BEACH!!!
Kirsten and I enjoyed the beach the sunday after we went to disney! It was a beautiful day compared to the day before when it rained. I wish I had brought her suit, but as you can tell by the last picture she was drenched in her clothes. She loved it and could not stop laughing!!! I loved to see her enjoy it so much and me and her jumped a few waves!
I think I might become a southern cali/beach addict!!!
