Valentines craftiness

I love valentines day, but I don't have a lot of valentines decorations. So I'm fixing that right quick...





I'm sure there will be more to come, but for now, this is all!

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve was fun this year. In the evening we went to the Countdown in Provo. An event put on by the city of Provo. It's inside the mall and there's lots to do. Natalie and Brian were there of course, since Brian works for the city of Provo. We got Jackson's face painted, got a ballon animal, we went to a dance party, made sandy candy, posed in a photo booth watched a magic show and played on the playground!

Happy New Years to us!!

Jackson's birthday

As I mentioned before, we were pretty sick in December. Jackson had it the worst. He was even sick on his birthday. We managed to have a party over the weekend with his friends, which was a success. It was construction themed. Here are some of my favorite photos:




























A Happy birthday was had after all!

Christmas

Most of December we took turns being sick. Especially poor Jackson. He was even sick on his birthday. Now we are all finally feeling much better (cross your fingers) and so now I can post about a few things from Christmas and our activities over the last few weeks.
First Santa Clause:





This was our first Santa experience where he wasn't upset and sobbing! Yay for growing up! Santa read to him from his naughty and nice book and even gave him a candy cane.


I even took Jackson to the mall for a little Christmas shopping with my mom, although the only thing he was interested in doing was riding the escalators up and down. But hey! At least he was well behaved.




















We saw lots and lots of lights, including Zoolights, and the Riverwoods, and our very own Christmas tree!!


One of our friends in the ward did 12 days of Christmas to us. Here's Jackson playing with the marshmallow shooters we got on day 7.





Jackson wrote his very own letter to Santa and made him gingerbread cookies. Santa promptly ate the all:)








We went sledding...and speaking of snow, we just keep getting more and more, and it's so freezing, (around 5 degrees to be exact) its not melting!















Here's some photos of Christmas morning! We had a lovely time opening presents, eating orange rolls, and sipping hot tang (since I could barely talk).








We made a few fires to keep us toasty and warm. Trust me when I say it's cold, I mean really cold (right now it's -1).








Icicles are found everywhere in gigantic proportions! But we are all snugly inside our warm house curled up in lots of blankets! That was most of what our December looked like! Comment if you'd like
