Girls Weekend in Chicago

Bryce's sisters wanted to plan a trip for the "sisters" this year... so we all met in Chicago for the weekend- AND IT WAS A BLAST. We went to WICKED, shopped, visited downtown Chicago, stayed up late, drank a lot of pop, and had a lot of fun together. There were 8 of us total, with 3 babies. It was really fun seeing everyone because we hadn't seen each other since this last June. "Wicked" was AMAZING!!! I've never really seen a Broadway Show before... so I was blown away.

Valentine's Day

I always get so excited for Valentine's Day because Bryce always thinks of the funnest surprises- so I never know what to expect. So this year we went to lunch at our little spot on the West side of Idaho Falls called The Crossing :) for those of you that know where this is, you'll laugh because we always talk about it. Then Bryce took me on a snowmobiling ride! I haven't been on a snowmobile for so long, and I was so scared when he would go over hills because they were so steep and I thought for sure we were going to roll over. But it was a blast! Then we got ready and went to dinner, which is always so fun. After dinner we got ice cream and went to "our dancing spot" from when we were dating and danced to our song. Julie offered to babysit Bridger, which was so nice- because it is ALWAYS fun having some alone time every once in a while. I am so grateful for my Valentine- I love you Bry.
PS- I got BANGS! I thought it was time for a change :) They are kinda fun.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. It really is the most exciting time of the year. And Bridger had his first Christmas, which was really fun for Bryce and me. Since Bryce's parents are in Africa, we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day with my family. It was a blast!!!

Christmas Party

Each year we have our Christmas party at my mom and dad's house on Dec. 23. We draw names and exchange our gifts this night along with great food, fun, and games. It was especially fun this year because everyone was home this year for Christmas. Because everyone was home this year, we got a new updated family picture as well.

The Perfect Stocking Stuffer

Bridger fit inside of this stocking perfectly and he was proud about it too. I couldn't think of a better gift to put inside... Bridger is the best gift/blessing that Bryce and I could ever ask for. He really does bring so much joy to our lives.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...at least at Mom's house anyway

It has been so much fun getting ready for Christmas this year. Bryce and I aren't in our PERMANENT home yet... so I spent my time and energy helping my mom decorate for Christmas this year. Our friends came over and we all helped with my mom's Christmas Tree. Fancy Nancy is the name of the game- JUST LOOK AT HER TREE. It is so beautiful. It just feels like Christmas in her house. Bridger likes the tree too, so we got some pictures of him grinning in front of it.
