The Past Few Weeks....

I know I haven't blogged in forever... It has been a busy month... But here are a few pictures of things that have happened.

THANKSGIVING
This was the best picture taken of our family. Amelia was having a bad day. She had the flu on the Monday before and was still not feeling so great... Which in turn, half of the family got sick.

:( I was sick the next day, which is crazy since it was the busiest day of the year at my job and I had no choice but to call in... At least I did enjoy my Thanksgiving Day. One of my favorite holidays. :) It was really nice having everyone there.

Brandon and Matt Beatty

Me and my cousin Amy Beatty

Mills and her cousin Gloria. They are the same age, but look at Gloria's hair! Can you believe it? It was a surprise to see Merry and her cute family from California...

After Thanksgiving

The first weekend of December we went up to Midway to stay the night and see my cute cousin Madison get baptized. They also had Swiss Christmas (Swissmas) going on and we were able to see collections of creches (nativities)...Sorry we don't have any pictures of the hundreds of nativities we saw. They were really interesting and helped to get us in the Christmas Spirit.

Me, Amy, and Aunt Whitney :)

Right from Midway we went to a Christmas party at our friends' house: the Bridges. It was a lot of fun. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures except of Amelia and her new cousin Jackson Matesen.

Christmas Decorations

Our cute little tree.

Brandon cuts our tree down each year. This one is the perfect size for our place. We love decorating for Christmas. We love buying new decorations to add to our collection each year...

Our Nativity

Our lights outside

The super cute wreath Brandon's mom made for us two years ago.

Jim Shore ornaments and cute little dancing hats :)

Amelia wanting to help. She pulled out all of the ornaments. :) Luckily she really doesn't touch the tree. I think it's too prickly, but she loves to look at it and giggle.

Our new decorations...

We love Jim Shore decorations. Classic Santa and Rudolph! We love the Bumble too. Maybe next year.

We also found this awesome snowflake at Paisley Poppy today. :) I love it.

Liquid Joes
Then yesterday... I became a fan of Royal Bliss... We went to Brandon's brother Ryan's Bar for Ryan's work Christmas party and heard the band Royal Bliss play an acoustic set. They were really good.

Of course my eyes are closed... I always seem to have them closed in pictures. We had a lot of fun. We are thinking of going again on friday when Royal Bliss plays again. Anyone interested?
