birthday boy.

This last Thursday was Benji's birthday. 

For some reason on his birthday I felt really old.

It was really weird for me 22 years old, to be married to a 24 year old.

I don't know.

For some reason I just couldn't grasp it.

Of course birthday celebrations went on all weekend long. 

With eating out more than we should and

when we ate at home eating not so good for us food.

Happy 24th Birthday to my wonderful husband!

christmas in january.

This year we decided to combine Christmas and a big birthday celebration

together in Texas the first part of January.

We were so excited to be able to see everyone!

Picture recap.

Uncle Benji accidentally taught Joseph 52 card pick-up.

That was his favorite game to play all weekend long. 

too long...

It's been way too long.

Needless, to say we have been busy the last few weeks.

Christmas.

This year we decided we wanted to spend Christmas day 

together ourselves.

Friday after I got off from work we headed down to Utah to spend

Christmas Eve with my Dad and brother.

Then late Christmas Eve we headed back to our house.

We were able to spend a nice relaxing day on Christmas

spending time together. 

It was the perfect Christmas together.

It's here! Christmas is here! 

I can't believe how fast time has gone!

Our cards went out a little late this year.
But we were still excited to send them out for the first time as for our little family of two.

This year has been a busy year of "firsts" and we have loved it!

We are greatly looking forward to next year to see what is in store for us!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

Must See.

We will be seeing this.
Whether Benji likes it or not. 

Weekend Recap.

We love the weekend in this house.

But seriously, who doesn't.

The weekend started off by enjoying 

Chick Fil-A for dinner

by the fire place.

Best weekend starter EVER.

Completed Christmas shopping and wrapping.

And catching up with old friends. 

Discovering the best way to cook chicken in the oven

by experimenting and praying the house doesn't burn down.

Much Needed Break.

Thanksgiving this year

we spent it in Denver with Benji's side of the family.

It was a much needed break and getaway from 

everything.

It was pretty uneventful and relaxing most of the weekend

until Saturday morning.

When we had to rush Benji to the doctor's office

to get 3 stitches.

He accidentally stepped on a knife and sliced his foot.

(Sorry for those who don't do well with blood!)

I was pretty proud of myself I was able to stay in the room with him

while the doctor was stitching up his foot. 

I normally don't do well with anything having to do with blood.

Then that evening we went downtown to see the Lion King Musical.

It was incredible!

If you ever get the chance to see it, TAKE it!
