1rst Thanksgiving! Christmas decorations!

Our internet is insanely slow, so this will be the last post until we switch internet companies.

Here's Evlyn on her first Thanksgiving! She loved playing with her cousins' balloons! It might be lame, but I'm gonna get one for her for Christmas. :P Thanksgiving was great, and we ate TONS!! There were at least 8 different desserts, which I thought was the best part lol. And, I tried most of them. (Banana cream, chocolate, pumpkin, pecan, blueberry, and lemon mirange(sp?) pie, then cookies, chocolate covered fruit, and whipped cream. yumm!!! We went to Jared's family for Thanksgiving.

Then, on Saturday, we went to visit our friends, Laurice and Mary. We played Rock Band for the first time, and I had a blast! Here's my hubby on the drums, and Laurice on the guitar. (Mary and I beat them!)

 Evlyn LOVES water! I might have said this before, but it's hillarious how much she does!

 Random family picture! Jared took me shopping for my birthday! I got skinny jeans (which I swore I would never wear lol), the neclace, and the jacket thingy. I really like all of them! I also got a really cute sweater, which I'll have to show you in a different post when I take a picture, and a shirt. :) He spoiled me!

 Here's cute little Evlyn with Angela Gregory. She's in he young womens with me.

 Last weekend, our friends had a yard sale. They said we could sell some stuff too, so we hung out with them most of the morning. Here's sleepy little Evlyn snuggling with her daddy!

My grandpa came to town and visited us last later that afternoon. We went with him and my dad to see a nativity display at a stake center. It was amazing how many nativities were there! I took a few pictures of my favorite/ones that stood out. This one was just interesting. Igloos and Eskimoes, and polar bears. lol 

 I thought this one was pretty.

 And, I really liked this one! It was from Israel.

 I really liked this one too! Mary very pregnant on the donkey, and Joseph leading the donkey. I thought it was very beautiful!

Now for some cute smiles! Her personality and smiles just keep getting cuter! We love her so much, and when she smiles it's so contageous!

Daddy, no more kisses!

Look! Only one hand!

Now, for the Christmas decorations!! yay!! I LOVE Christmas! I had to wait and wait to put the decorations up, which we did the day after Thanksgiving. yay! Here's our cute little tree! This year is a lot of firsts! Our first Christmas in our house, our first Christmas tree, and Evlyn's first Christmas! I still haven't found the perfect tree-topper, so we don't have one yet. :P

 This cute little nativity was made for us by a friend!

This is a hot pad that I made years ago, but I've never used it. So, I decided to hang it up as a decoration.

 Yay wreaths! I love wreaths!

 My little violin that plays Christmas songs! I've had this for about 10 years, and it still works!

 Poinsetta!

 And, another wreath! I love the sound it makes when you shake it! Did I mention I love Christmas?!  I love Christmas music, Christmas deocrations, Christmas lights, Christmas trees,... you get the picture.

Oh, one more thing! We have new callings...sorta. The bishop called what seemed like half of the ward to be in the ward choir, including us. Then, he asked me to be the pianist. So, neither of us are really singing, b/c Jared watches Evlyn while I play. haha. Oh well, it's fun. And, I get to play Christmas music! :) Well, that is all. Oh, just kidding. One last thing! Jared finished his class next Tuesday!! YAY!!!!
