Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas at home this year usually we spend the night at my parents but we decided to change it up this year! It's been so much fun with every new year keeping traditions alive that I grew up with and what Jake grew up with. We spent Christmas Eve with both families and opened some gifts, later came home to enjoy a big mug of hot chocolate with loads of marshmallows on top and spent the rest of the night watching Christmas movies. Woke up the next morning to Santa's gifts and stockings stuffed!!

Earlier this month we went to the Salt Lake Temple with our friends Jess and Colby to do some temple sealings and to walk around to enjoy the lights. It's a must every year! I love the feeling of being at the temple around Christmas.





May built her first snowman


I think we disappointed Santa this year with our lack of cute stockings. We bought some two years ago and pretty sure we just have them packed in a box somewhere. Maybe one day we'll find them? Either way he still filled them up!!




I think the best Christmas gift was that Jake and I got to spend this past week off which was very needed. We did a lot of little fun things together which consisted of eating at The Pizza Factory, spending time with family, attending a Jazz game and lots of movies and spending a couple days in our PJ's. I got sick halfway through this time off which was horrible but Jake deserves husband award he took good care of me! 




And last but certainly not least we bought a NEW CAR! Hallelujah!! Jake had to say goodbye to ol' mustang which was a sad day ha!


Got ourselves an SUV so that I wont have panic attacks when it snows anymore. Plus how cute will it be to get my babies out of this thing? Aww


Happy New Year to everyone!! I cannot believe it's a new year still but Jake and I came up with 11 big goals set this year some of the following include:

1. Running a couple races together this summer
2. Shalise is finishing up school
3. Watching all Harry Potter movies in a row together (Jake doesn't get what's going on)
4. Attending the temple every month
5. Selling our condo
6. Finding a home
7. Booking a vacation
8. Teaching little May to do a backflip
9. Jake a half marathon (Shalise will be cheering)
10. Take more pictures
11. Be much better at documenting our life! 

Stay tuned it's gonna be WILD!
