Christmas married is pretty dang good, but Christmas married with a baby ROCKS. We had such a good jam packed holiday season!
I'm not great at taking pictures when we're out (getting better) but for the sake of documenting, December leading up to Christmas consisted of the Festival of Trees, the Apple fam Christmas party, The Christmas Carol at Hale Theater, Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point with David and Rissa, and my family's wild Christmas Eve party. We made a bucket list and checked every single one off! I love creating new family traditions and spending as much time together as we can, even if it means some late nights, some heavy traffic, and a little stress here and there. It's all part of the fun. :)
Christmas morning was magic! We woke up when Ryan did, and brought him into bed to snuggle while he drank a bottle. Then we opened stockings and presents, which Ryan loved!! We got him some stacking blocks and giant legos, but obviously the best parts were the wrapping paper and boxes. To be expected. :) After opening presents and tearing into stocking treats, I made a big yummy breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls, mushroom spinach cheese eggs, and blueberries. We spent the rest of the day in Taylorsville at a luncheon and hanging out with family. It was honestly the best Christmas ever!
New Years was equally as fun. Hannah and her guy Travis drove down from Logan and celebrated NYE with us. We played banana grams (so fun, you need this game if you don't have it!) and monopoly and ate tons of good food. I totally pulled the pregnant card when justifying three different kinds of dips and every other snacky food that sounded good. No one complained. ;)
The very best part of the new year was celebrating mine and Jake's 2 year anniversary on the 8th. We ditched the baby with grandma and drove down to Morgan to eat at Taggart Grill. Ask me if I took any pictures...
Haha! I've gotta get better at this. Sorry babe. PS that's a burger on a pita and it was dang good.
It was an awesome evening and an even better year. Here's to many, many more with this guy!!
