Putting up the Treeeee!

We set up the Christmas tree this last Tuesday with the kids. Nate and I got the tree out and he helped me put it together and then him and Miley helped me put the lights on it. Then after dinner Daddy, the kids, and I decorated the 'Tree'. We had a blast doing it. The kids were so excited and into it. Miley kept yelling Treeeeeeee, and then smiling big, or lifting her arms up real big. It was super cute. It always makes me so happy to put up the tree and doing it with my little family is just the BEST!

Here is a little clip of Miley after the tree is all done. We are all excited for Christmas.

Thanksgiving 2009

Before we drove home for Thanksgiving break we had some fun with each other and some great friends. We were able to go on a double date to New Moon with the Spears, it was so much fun. I really enjoyed it, and it was so good to get out with Jared, and friends. We did have plans to go out to eat ofter the movie but Grace, their little girl, wasn't feeling good so we had to cut our date short.

We also got to watch a movie with the kids.

Then on Sunday we had the Cruz's over for dinner and some fun. Why is it that kids love to play with coasters...Nate and Miley love them, and apparently Sadie does too. She needed to hold all of them.

Finally Tuesday came and we packed up and when Jared got off from work we headed to his parents house, so we could celebrate my birthday with them on Wednesday. We made really good time and got there just a little after midnight.

The kids played with Grandma and Sydney for a bit before we all crawled into bed. Then Wednesday morning we hung out. Miley had a great time playing with Reno...she loves dogs, LOVES them.

I told the boys to smile and this is what I got, Nice Huh!

When everyone got to mom & dad's we went to Wingers to celebrate my birthday. The only bad thing was Megan hadn't been feeling good all day so Sydney took her to instacare to see what was wrong, they missed out on the fun.

Nate had a good time with the cross word puzzles and Miley enjoyed scribbling too.

We got two Asphalt Pie deserts and Nate and Miley almost eat both of them before anyone else could have some.

Back at the house I got to open some birthday gifts. I got Killer Bunnies (the card game...it's awesome), Clue (Harry Potter), Yentl the movie (which I have wanted for ever), Pride and Prejudice (the BBC movie that I have been told is awesome), some lotion and perfume from Bath & Body works, and expansion pack for Killer Bunnies. I also got some cards and money. Rock On.

Our Family!

Then we just hung out and had fun. Then Thursday we drove up to Cache Valley for Thanksgiving. (No Pictures of Thanksgiving so sad)

Here is our visit at my Grandma Gilden's.

Nate and Grandma had a good time fishing...while Miley wandered around exploring everywhere.

It was great seeing my Grandma, she is such a sweet lady and she loves us so much, I love her too.

We had a great visit together, with everyone we got to see. Thank you Hunny for the great trip, and thanks to everyone else that made our trip so amazing.

Thanksgiving Travels

Our Thanksgiving travels went well. We had a good time celebrating my birthday and Thanksgiving with our family's. Thursday morning we packed up and headed to my Grandma and Grandpa Fonnesbeck's house to celebrate Thanksgiving day and to eat our feast. We had a great time...there was 36 people there so it was quite busy, but fun, and crazy. I got to meet my brothers girlfriend Katie. She is wonderful and I really like her, she also makes my bro happy so that is good, it was awesome to see him. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures so I'll have to beg others for some. Then Thursday night we went and stayed with my family.

The kids had a great time with Grandma and with their cousin Sephy. They also got to see some of their aunts and uncles, which was fun.

Aunt Stephanie

Nate playing.

My Mommy, we had a great time seeing you!

The kids put on quite a concert for me. They were so cute together playing the piano. I'll have to get a video up for you to see how awesome they were.

Jared, little Chris and Miley played some xbox together.

Friday I woke up and my mom made me coffee cake for my birthday. It was awesome. I got to blow out 11 candles and everything...no pictures, sad. Then we went to see my dad and Susie. It was fun seeing them too...even if it was for a short visit. We also so my Grandma Gilden...pictures on the next entry.

Friday night Blake & Tina and there kiddo's came over to hang out with us all. We talked and played with the kids and then we played one of the best games out there....Killer Bunnies....

Jared won the Bunnie game...Saturday morning the kids got to help grandma make blue and green pancakes. They had a great time. Grandma Rocks! Russell took some pictures for me, and this is them...

Me cutting up breakfast for the kids, & Neal hanging out with his computer.

Chris still in bed.

My Nate'o & mom and me. It was hard leaving so soon. I'm glad we'll have more time over Christmas to hang out together.

We had to leave to go to Blake and Tina's so I could get my hair cut, Tina did a great job. She is awesome to cut my hair. After we drove down to SLC and stopped by the Ford dealership and got a part for out Escape and then met Jared's grandparents at Olive Garden for my birthday lunch.

Miley Loves Ketchup...I mean loves it like she'll dip her fries in it and lick the Ketchup off it and then dip the same fry again...or she'll use her fork or spoon and scoop the Ketchup up and eat it...weird.

We hung out at Jared's parents for the rest of our little trip. Here is a tutu Sydney made for Miley...isn't it cute. She wouldn't put it on at first when we asked her too, but then she decided she did want to have it on and she was so cute in it. We played killer bunnies again...and we love the Bunnie O Justice! There is never a dull moment when all of Jared's family is around. They tease each other all the time...It's quite fun, even if they now feel like they can tease me...I love it. Well that was our trip. Hopefully none of us will get sick and we can come back before Christmas and have some more fun with our families. I am so thankful for Everyone in my Family....I am so Blessed.
