Tis' the Season!

Alexus just LOVES her Santa hat. Okay, not really. But how adorable does she look in it, i mean come on...??? In order to get this picture my mom had to hold a tub of cookies right next to the camera. Alexus is not looking at my mom or the camera, but she will not take her eyes off those cookies. What a little stinker.

For all the Batman Lovers!!

Last night i had a little get together to watch The Dark Knight! Marshall bought it for me Tuesday and i had to keep myself out of my house so that i wouldnt watch it before the little party. It was a good time. My grandma is adorable, i just love her! She is the grandma that would take us on the rides that would go upside down at the carnival because our parents never would, for example... The Ring Of Fire... yeah, not many grandmas on that ride. Anyways, she loves the batman movies and this was no different for her. I am sooooo lucky to have her as my grandma and i wouldnt trade her for anything in the world, i dont know what i would do without her and i cherish the time we get to spend together. Okay, back to the movie thing... We had a great group of people, not the best picture, i know but from left to right... AJ (Marshall's nephew), Kay ((Marshall's mom) i believe this is her blog debut), Grandma Debi (my mom), Brykelle (cousin #1), Kryshelle (cousin #2), and Grandma Bonnie. Oh, and Marshall came later but too late to be part of the picture, i hope he doesnt lose sleep over it.

Theres just something about him...

The other day Marshall and I went to Carrie's house to drop off Stone's birthday present. When we got there Stone had just woken up from his nap and he was cuddling Carrie. She wanted to show me something so we told Stone to sit on the couch and he clung to her and didnt want to go so she told him to sit with Marshall.... and he actually went to him!!! How adorable is this picture?!? Stone is usally pretty shy at first and both Carrie and I were amazed that he actually went. I had to grab a picture quick because we knew it wouldnt last. There is just something about Marshall that draws kids in, i dont know what it is but i love it!

My family got together to make candy this weekend and it was a BLAST! We made chocolates with orange, strawberry, vanilla, vanilla with nutts & lemon filling & peanut butter cups and we are getting together next weekend to make turtles, carmel chocolates & cherry chocolates. Here are a few pictures from our awesome adventure!

My Christmas Flowers

These are the flowers that i got for December from that card Marshall bought from my cousin in October. Novembers sucked so i didnt post them and me saying that wont hurt Marshall's feelings because he agreed. But these ones are super cute!

Marshall's Birthday Extravaganza

Carrie & Jake

Marshall's birthday and Carrie's husband, Jake's, birthday are both on the 13th of December so we decided to celebrate them together. We went to dinner at the Red Rock in Salt lake and then to the Jazz game. It was super fun! Jazz won, of course, they actually destroyed the Raptors, but thats neither here nor there. Anyways, Marshall and Jake had a good time and thats all that matters.
