I have the cutest kid in the world

Merry Christmas!

Christmas is so much fun when you can share it with someone little. I felt so blessed this holiday season to have a warm home, my husband's job, loving family and friends, and the gospel. I love this special time to celebrate our Savior and his birth.

Because this was my parent's off year for Christmas, we celebrated Christmas on the Sunday before with them. We did the pj tradition and opened a few gifts. Mom and Dad got us these awesome slippers. We loved 'em!

This year we spent Christmas with Grandpa Carl at our house. It was so fun to celebrate Maggie's first Christmas at home. We opened our pj's, read Luke 2, made yummy popcorn and watched a movie.We made a feast on Christmas eve, a hardy christmas breakfast and appetizers for lunch. Maggie laughed and laughed at Grandpa Carl, it was so cute!

(this was my latest project for Christmas. Fingerless gloves. And they were so much easier than I thought they'd be)

a cold winter wonderland

All I have to say is that it snowed here Monday night.... A LOT!

They even cancelled school after a few hours when they realized the snow was still coming down so Caden came home!

But to top it all off the power was out for 15 hours!!!!

Good thing it's a fridge outside.

My little bug was not happy that it was 65 degrees in our house all day! We did a lot of cuddling and layering, but we survived. I was about to give her a warm bath at around 6pm with candles and a lantern when it happened... light!! Hallelujah!

Blessing Day

This past Sunday we were excited to bless our sweet Maggie. I was really nervous that she would have a blow out right before on her blessing dress, but she held out! We are so grateful for the priesthood and that Caden could give our baby this blessing. She was happy, awake and didn't make a peep throughout the blessing. I told him that after he blessed her, he better hold her up high to show her off. He sure did and she was a doll. She was wide awake just staring at everyone. It was perfect and it was such a beautiful blesssing.
