Christmas Vacation

Between Christmas and the new year Brandon took time off of work because things were slow and we had so much to celebrate. This year was the first time in 3 years that we actually spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with our families. It was so nice to have time together, especially with my siblings and niece (who I usually only get to visit with once or twice a year).









Ruby had a great time opening presents and participating in the annual family Christmas pageant (she was an angel). And the gift that Santa left her was a hit-- a pink kitchen and apron. Not a day goes by that she doesn't want to cook or wear her apron around the house. Hopefully she'll learn to be a better cook than Mommy...





On our anniversary (Dec. 28th) Brandon and I escaped to Salt Lake and spent the night at the Grand America while my mom and sister-in-law babysat the Rooster. My wonderful husband even surprised me with a massage at their spa-- so luxurious! (I have to admit that living near family has it's perks.)

The day after we got back from our anniversary retreat we found a rental condo and wouldn't you know that not even 24 hours after signing the lease and giving the landlords our deposit we made an offer on a great home in Draper! Good thing it is a month to month lease...







On New Year's Eve we celebrated my mom's birthday and now we're gearing up for my birthday on Friday, a move at the end of the month, Ruby's birthday on the 31st, and the arrival of our baby boy in mid February!

Wow, that is a lot going on all at once! How exciting! I wish you the best and hope that you don't have stress through it all. Also, this song that is playing now, Dancing in the Moonlight, ALWAYS reminds me of you, Liz and me dancing in our apartment. Great times ladies!!
