All bundled up- Thanks to my sister for handing down this winter coat from cousin Drew. We had to scrounge up clothes to pack for this little guy for the holidays in Utah. We were able to find this cute hat and matching gloves for him at our Old Navy here. He managed pretty well in the cold weather considering he is freezing with anything below 55*! I loved seeing him all bundled up, it’s a sight we never get to see!
First Snow- we have seen in over a year!! It was beautiful and nice to enjoy from the inside but I really don’t think I miss living in the snow for more than six months out of the year! Nick on the other hand LOVES the snowy weather and truly enjoyed seeing it while we were visiting!
Family Pictures- We had the whole Jensen Family together for Christmas this year so we made sure to get some family pictures done with both Grandma and Grandpa Jensen. The last family picture we had together was when we had four little grandkids and now we have eight!
Christmas Morning- This Christmas was so much fun! Now that Bronson is older and able to understand the presents a little bit more he was so excited to see the Christmas lights and his buggy that Santa brought him for being a good boy this year!! After presents we made Christmas breakfast and enjoyed our gifts for the day. That night we had our traditional Pay Family get together. It was so great to see all of our family that we hadn’t seen in over a year!!
Piles and Piles- of ENDless packing! I love packing in advance and getting things organized so I don’t have to wait and stress at the last minute. Usually this works unless you are leaving on an almost 2 week vacation. There is tons of laundry that has to been done and almost everything in your wardrobe has to be cleaned and unworn in order to have enough things! Usually I don’t mind packing but this was our first LONG trip with a child and boy do you have to pack a ton of things with kids!! I almost didn’t think everything would fit in the car but we made it work!!
It’s beginning to look smell a LOT like Christmas- since it has been in the 70’s this week and it’s not looking like Christmas I have definitely made it smell like Christmas!!
Bring on the Holidays- My mom made these adorable Advent Calendars for the girls in my family and gave them to us early to be able to use for the month of December. She worked so hard on these for about a month and a half straight. It definitely paid off, she did an amazing job! We are going to love this addition to our holiday decorations for years to come! Thanks Mom!
Just what I needed- a little extra time with my Christmas decorations this year! After coming home from Safford I had Nick take me to our storage unit the next day to get all of my Holiday décor. I had everything put out and packed up, ready to go back in less than 2 hours. It got a little crazy when there were pine needles all of the floor along with tissue paper from my ornaments and Bronson woke up before I could finish cleaning. He had a blast in the mess though!
