We've been busy...

We sure have had a lot going on the last few days and it doesn't seem like it will be slowing down much for a while. Even though we have been busy we have still had a lot of fun. So this is what we've been up to...

Last Thursday we were able to go over to my dad's house and make gingerbread houses. They were way fun and turned out super cute. Here are some pictures of our night and how the houses turned out.










Saturday was my birthday, the big 23. Even though I am pretty much an adult now I still get really excited for my birthday. For the most part we just had a normal day. Tim had to go to school to take a test so I did some Christmas shopping with my Mom. After that I was brave and cut off my hair! I ended up cutting off about 5 inches. It doesn't sound like a ton but it sure feels like a lot. Tim and I spent the rest of the night together and also hung out with some friends. It turned out to be a really fun birthday. I also got gifts that I absolutely love. Tim gave me a digital photo frame. I was so excited for my present that he even let me open it at midnight the night before! I also got the Willow Tree nativity set that I have really wanted from my in-laws. My Mom gave me a jacket that I love. I also got a lot of other things and I am so lucky to have a family that cares so much! Thanks so much to everyone who helped me have a fabulous birthday, I love you all! Here are some birthday photos.

Then tonight the family birthday celebration continued. We went to dinner with my Dad, stepmom Leslie, my little brothers (except Mathis who had to work), Ashley, Devan and Hunter. With all of us together there were 5 birthdays to celebrate! Me, Tim, Ashley, Devan and my Dad all have birthday's this month between the 1st and the 19th. It was a lot of fun to get together with everyone and celebrate. Althought, I doubt the waitress believe us when we said there were 5 birthdays at the table and brought us all dessert!

Happy 23 Tim!

Tim's birthday was on Monday so I just wanted to say happy birthday to him and write a quick post about our night. We just had a quiet night at home. With Tim being so busy with school it was kind of hard to find the time to celebrate. Also, Tim's not super big into his birthday. We were able to have some cake though and Tim's parents and brother came over for a quick visit.I also want to take this chance to say just how much I love my fabulous husband. There are so many things that I love about him I don't think that I could name them all, so I thought that I would just name some of my favorite things about him. I love that Tim is always so sweet and always takes care of me. I love that he is so super supportive of everything that I do. I love that Tim is so smart, it has always been one of my favorite things about him! I love that he is a worthy priesthood holder that I get to spend the rest of forever with. I love that he always wants to fix things right away whenever we have an argument. I love that he works so hard at school because he knows that it's important to me. I also of course love that he is so handsome! I am so lucky to have such a great husband and I can't imagine what I would do without him. I love you so much baby and I hope you had a great birthday!!
