Family Get together!

Well my family decided to start having a "familiy reunion" so this was our first one! It was lots of fun, we stayed in Salt Lake at one of the hotels there, we hung out and played games together and had such a good time! We all went to dinner at Buca Di Beppo and they suprised me with a cake for my birthday (even though the waitress sort of ruined the suprise by saying "my boss told me you guys brought your own cake", oh well, it was so fun). We also went ice skating at the murray ice rink. Happy 24th b-day! (dec. 31st)

Christmas Vacation!!

We had such a wonderful Christmas. We got to go to Idaho for about two weeks. We got to see some friends that we haven't for a very long time. Hope everyone had as fun a Christmas as we did. Jade in her adorable Santa outfit from Grandma Mary!

Cousins!

Dan and Louann went in together to get this whole nativity set for me and dan made this really cool stand for the pieces to go on.

So the thursday before Thanksgiving we had a bunch of our friends and family over to have a practice thanksgiving dinner. It was so delicious!
When we went to Minnesota for thankgiving Dan and I went to go see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat at a local dinner theater. It was a really good performance, and the dinner was delicous also. Anyway, we had to leave Jade behind so here is a picture with her and her first babysitters. Dan's cousin Nate and his sweet girlfriend Trish.

Jade's first swim. We wanted to get her a bathing suit so we checked out babies r us and found the last one. It was size 12 months but it worked, plus it was only 3 dollars. :)

Ok, so it's a little late but Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Dan and Jade and I got to go to St. Paul, Minnesota to visit his aunt and uncle for Thanksgiving. We had such a fun time. Jade had her first babysitter while dan and I went to see Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat at a local dinner theater. Jade did so well on the flight there and back. We also had baby Jade blessed today, it was such a great day! We had family over afterward and had some delicious grub.
