To start with, we spent Thanksgiving at Monica and Chris' home, with David's family and also my mom and the girls. Everyone had a good time, not to mention a good meal! I even tried my hand at Pumpkin Cheesecake, and it turned out wonderfully. That same week we put up our Christmas tree and decorations, David even made this awesome shelf just for the stockings.
As we went into December, it seemed like things just kept getting busier. David got a few new patients added to his schedule, and worked a lot of extra hours. I was also working, of course, and going to school (even though we did get a winter break over the holidays). I also picked up a few projects, including making a blanket for Bryar (see pic of fabric below), a few recieving blankets that went to the hospital, and PJ pants for all three of us to wear for Christmas.
These are the pics we took for our Christmas card. Bryar is the cutest part of the family, so she got all three picture spots on the card :o)
This is a pic of Bryar modeling the PJ pants I made her. They are very snuggly and soft, David wouldn't even wait for Christmas to wear his!
Over the Christmas break my sisters Andi and Sadi got to come spend the days with us. David and I took them sledding one day, and it was so much fun! Of course, everyone was exhausted when we got home...
Then the girls and I made sugar cookie for Santa. Bryar ate more frosting than anything...
When Bryar and I got home that night we discovered Santa had come early (wink, wink).

On the 19th we got to attend the Savoie family Christmas party, which is always so much fun. G'ma goes all out, and I look forward to it all year!
The day of Christmas Eve Bryar and I drove up to Heber to see my dad's family. Aunt Mary Ann was in town, so Bryar got to play with her cousin Maggie (very CUTE little girl, by the way!) along with her aunts and uncle. It was a nice visit, I wish it was able to happen more often...

Bryar was thrilled with her presents, like the play tent w/tunnel and especially the toddler bed that David built for her (yes, we all know he is ridiculously talented!). SHe also got over 20 books, and some other small items. David got a nice new pea coat, that he looks really good in, along with a lot of stuff for camping next summer. I got some cute boots that I can wear around in all this snow and still look cute, and also a new hoodie, a new Kingdom Hearts game for my DS, and some make-up (I feel spoiled).
After our Christmas, we headed over to Chris and Monica's, where we all got even more spoiled. Bryar got all sorts of things to take care of her baby, David got a new coffee pot, and I got all sorts of things, including a gift card to Michaels, which I have already used :o)
We spent the rest of our holiday relaxing and enjoying our time with family. It was a very nice Christmas, and we are lucky to have such awesome family to spend it with. We are still fighting off those colds, though...
When we woke up Christmas morning we were all sick with a cold (Bryar had an especially nasty sounding cough), but we did spend a little while with my mom. She made this beautiful quilt for Bryar, and that is a picture of me in my new boots. Mom also got us a new camera for Christmas that we got early so we could take all these wonderful pictures...

While enjoying a morning off together, David and I decided to make crepes, which were delicious, but I dropped the jar of flour in the process...
You may have noticed my rather "fluffy" belly in the above pic, and if you don't already know, we are expecting our second child in May of this year!! And we just had the 20 week ultrasound, which not only showed us a very healthy baby, but we found out we're having another GIRL!!
Here are the pics below, the best I could get off the copies they gave us...
Well, I believe this gets us all caught up for now. Like I said, I hope to keep this updated so check back often! I hope you all have a happy new year!!
