Our December:
- I hit and killed a deer and caused a lot of damage to our car (see post below).
Great start to December right?? LOL.
- It snowed!!!
I couldn't believe that it snowed here. A few Christmas's ago it snowed here and it was the one year my family went out of town. When it started snowing I think I acted like a kid in a candy store. I ran around getting everyone's jackets and bundling Eden up so we wouldn't miss the snow. Very exciting.

Me and baby!

- My best friend, Hayley had her baby 3 weeks early on December 15th. Hayley was a trooper and did a fantastic job delivering a beautiful, healthy baby boy! They are doing great and Alex and Hayley are wonderful parents!!

- Nick and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on December 16th!
Amidst all the eventfulness of having Eden, being the middle of the week and Hayley just having her baby, we didn't have a whole lot of time to celebrate. But, we did and had a great time. After Eden went down for bed my wonderful mom came over to watch her and Nick and I went to Benihana's. It was a blast and so nice to get away with JUST Nick. I can't believe it has already been 2 years since we got married, but I am so blessed to have such and amazing husband and wonderul father to our sweet baby girl! I love you babe!

- We celebrated Christmas!
This year Christmas felt a little different. For one, we had Eden with us which was so fun and exciting. She was so cute opening her gifts although I'm pretty sure she enjoyed the wrapping paper more than the actual gifts themselves. I think Christmas felt different because my family decided not to give gifts to each other this year and just let it be about the babies (my brother's baby being the other baby but more to come on that - keep reading). We realized that with the economic issues etc and lots of our family saving for houses, moving, saving money etc we thought we would just use this Christmas to refocus on the TRUE meaning and forego gifts to each other. We watched the movie "The Nativity" on Christmas Eve and it was so neat to see the story portrayed in that way - it really made it special and a little different from just reading the Christmas story together like we usually do. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

Little reindeer!
Is that for me??
Whatcha got Mom?

Finally my own cell phone I can chew on all I want!!!
These are cool!
- We went to Utah!!
That was the view from our room at sunset!The day after Christmas we headed to Park City, Utah with Nick's family. It was a blast and so much fun to see snow at Christmas time! Nick's parents treated us to an amazing trip full of skiing, snow tubing, hot rock massages at Sundance, and relaxation at an AMAZING house! Our bedroom had it's own flat screen tv and a fireplace with a gorgeous view! It was so nice to get away and do something fun like this. We definitely needed it :) Here is a slide show from the trip.
- My brother's wife delivered their baby!!
I have a nephew!!! Cayden Glenn is here!
This actually happened on January 6th but I just thought I would mention it. We are going to visit them this weekend so I will post pictures of sweet Cayden when we get back!
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

I love that picture of Eden in her snow outfit! I didn't know Haley was pregnant! So exciting! I also didn't know you lived in the same complex as Heather! I live practically right down the street from you!
