Our Tree

For Christmas this year we stayed the night at our house, and then after we opened our presents we went to Temecula to open presents with my family. We got Aidyn a bumbo for Christmas, and she got a few other gifts from Jeff's parents. I got Jeff the new Call of Duty game Black Ops, some protein powder (Jeff wants to bulk up for Hawaii), and a card game that we played with some friends and liked. Jeff also got a smoker from his parents. Jeff's parents gave me some new Uggs, and Jeff gave me two bands for my wedding ring...I had been wanting bands for awhile, so I was so grateful he remembered that. He also got me a shelf and a FHE board from Deseret. It was a great Christmas.

Jeff's family had a party on Christmas Eve at Olivia's house (Olivia is Jeff's dad's ex-wife). The whole family got together and exchanged gifts and had awesome mexican food...I sure love that I married into a family that can make homemade tomales, beans and rice....so good. Aidyn enjoyed the gifts she got from everyone, and we enjoyed seeing all the family.

Nativity Festival

My grandma and I

Jeff and I waiting for Corrie to sing

They set up nativity sets all around the cultural hall

Jeff kind of looked like a creepy terrorist

While Aidyn was still happy


Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus

So I go to institute every Thursday with my mom in Temecula. While I was there one week a woman in the stake came up to me and asked if Jeff and I would be willing to play Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus for the Nativity Festival this year. I told her we would, and after convincing Jeff how much fun it would be, we decided to do it. We got there early to get dressed, and everything was going great...Aidyn was happy (I made sure to feed her right before) and it was a lot of fun. Then Aidyn went crazy!!! She wouldn't stop screaming and we tried to do everything we could think of to make her calm down, but she wouldn't. The lady came up to me in between groups and told me to take Aidyn out and they would have to find a replaement until she could calm down. I took her out and she really didn't calm down, so we never ended going back in. Poor Jeff. He was left all alone as Joseph in the Manger for about a half hour. They ended up replacing me, Mary with some other older woman in the stake, and they replaced Aidyn, baby Jesus with a doll. So there stood Jeff, with an older woman who was supposed to be his wife, and a fake plastic baby as his child...needless to say I apologized for that one and I doubt he will agree to do it again.

Washington for Thanksgiving

Jeff made quite the collection while we were out there...

On the way to Thanksgiving Dinner

The real reason we went to Washington...so Jeff could hunt with his AR

Hanging out in the house

Luckily we had a snow suit for Aidyn...it was COLD!

We couldn't believe how big Beckham was!

So we decided to go to Washington this year for Thanksgiving. We wanted to visit Jen and Wes and the kids because it had been a while since we had seen them, and they weren't able to come for Aidyn's blessing. It snowed the day we got there, and continued to snow for the entire week...so the weather wasn't ideal, but we did have fun. They live in the middle of nowhere in Mesa, Washington, and Jeff's parents and other sister Jessica came as well. We got to have Thanksgiving dinner with Wes' family, and we had a lot of fun hanging out.
