Christmas Season...

I am so excited for Christmas this year. Maizyn is starting to understand that Santa Clause is someone special and she is recognizing him everywhere! It's so cute. I updated my playlist to play some of my favorite Christmas music which is definately one of my favorite things about Christmas. Today, Maizyn and I are home sick with fevers and nasty coughs and bad colds, so we are curling up together in the blanket and watching Christmas movies, while drinking hot chocolate and warm toast. Yum... Hopefully we will feel better tomorrow because we had planned to go look for a Christmas tree, and go visit Santa, as well as decorate the house.

Giving Thanks!

We had a wonderful Turkey Day this year. Clay played in the annual Turkey Bowl in our ward, and we had dinner with my in-law's. It's always different when you aren't with your own family on the holidays and I'm still adjusting to having two families since being married, but it is getting much easier and I was able to really enjoy myself with Clay's Family. I have so much to be greatful for this Thanksgiving. I am mostly thankful for my family and the love and support I have from all of them. Also, thankful for good food, good friends, the Gospel, and a warm home with a warmbed to sleep in at night. So many times I find myself wishing for better, but really I am so blessed and need to remember that more often. That's what this holiday was all about and I am grateful for that. I hope you all enjoyed it as well.

The Aftermath of Turkey Dinner... Sleeping Beauty??

Papa Steve and Maizyn are best buddies!

Grandma and Grandpa Facer also were in town this week and we sure had a blast having 3 late nights in a row hanging out with them - gossip, game nights, and spiritual conversation... LOVE IT. Maizyn fell in love with Grandma and Grandpa Facer all over again, and I'm so glad she gets to spend time with them when she does. She called Grandpa Facer - " Papa Fece"... made me laugh. :)

We missed the family that is not close, but kept them in our thoughts often. Love you all... now it's Christmas Season, can you beleive it!!?!! I'm so excited.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Yesterday was our 3 year Anniversary. I know it may not seem like that long, but I can't believe I've already been a married woman for 3 years! Crazy! We dropped Maizyn off at my parents, and then Clay took me to Outback..... soooooo yummy! It was a way better dinner than I remember having last time I went there 2 years ago...( maybe because I was pregnant and everything tastes different when you are preggo ) Afterward, we went for a romantic walk and then went to Coldstone for dessert. It was nice to have some time together, just the two of us. We reminisced about our dating experiences, proposal, and some our favorite times together. It was a great night! I love my husband very much and am grateful to have married him.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
