Two Months in One Post

The last 2 months have kind of passed by in a blur for me... which sadly happened over my favorite time of year. Why? Well, I have been sick... very sick. This is the worst morning sickness I have ever had of my 3 kids and it has not been pretty. I actually lost 10 pounds, which normally would be a good thing, but when you are throwing up every day, it doesn't feel so great. But I haven't thrown up in 6 days, so I am going to pretend that it is better now, and hopefully it is in the past.

So I am going to put all of the fun of our holidays into one post, which makes me feel sad that I missed pictures of all the fun we had.


We decorated our tree over Thanksgiving weekend:


One of my favorite parts of decorating the tree, is when little ones put all of the ornaments in one spot. It was just so sweet!




One of my favorite parts of the season was going to see The Forgotten Carols with my sweet friend, Jamie. It really was beautiful and made me feel the Spirit of Christmas and our Savior so much.


We also took a couple of trips to see Christmas lights. We drove through the lights at Thanksgiving Point and took a trip up to Temple Square.


Ally had a couple of performances with school too. She is in her school choir this year and they had a Christmas performance. She goes twice a week to school at 7:45 am to practice. Sometimes it's hard for her (and me) to get out of bed that early every day, but it made their choir REALLY good. I was so impressed! I did get a few pictures of her in her performance:


They sang "I Want Chocolate in My Stocking for Christmas" and threw tootsie rolls out at the end of it... this was Devin's favorite part!



Alex celebrated his 35th Birthday a few days before Christmas too! He was nice enough to let the kids open his presents for him, so they could get in some practice before Christmas.



Alex was sweet enough to help Ally make a gingerbread house, because I was in the middle of a long puking session.



Then came Christmas Eve at my parents house and Christmas morning. I only got a few pictures, but it was fun... except I was oh so sick on Christmas Day (probably from staying up all night because I was soooo excited to give the kids their presents!).





Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Holiday Season too!!!
