We Just Completed a Marathon...

Everyone is doing it nowadays- maybe it's a midlife crisis kind of thing, maybe it's to get in shape, maybe it's to feel some sense of accomplishment, or just plain to try something new....for whatever reason everyone is doing it. I wish I could say we had just run, like cross country run, however ours was a marathon of weddings. This holiday season was spent not merely singing carols, Christmas shopping, and opening presents, and eating Christmas feasts, but wedding shopping, attending luncheons and ceremonies and driving EVERYWHERE!!!!!
 Here's our road map of travels... November 19-Salt Lake for Tiannas wedding & luncheon, 24-Twin Falls and Burley for Thanksgiving, December 10-Burley for douple reception, 17-Logan for Kassie's wedding and then Pocatello for her ring ceremony/reception, 20-Salt Lake for Deidre's wedding, luncheon & reception, then back to Boise until 24-Burley for Christmas Eve 25-Twin falls Christmas Day...we are COMPLETELY traveled out!
ok a little dramatic, but in all honesty we have a HUGE feeling of accomplishment, and though the Christmas season felt so rushed and I thought I missed out on giving my little boy the best first Christmas ever, I think we did alright and I wanted to make this blog in honor of the season...so here it is, reminiscing our first holiday season with little E...oh and most people take pictures of the brides on their wedding day, I guess we are just super obsessed with ourselves because we just took pictures of us at their weddings, lol!

At Deidre's reception (Doesn't he look spiffy in the tie I made him?)

so excited to celebrate Christmas in the morning at home (December 23)

Christmas Day sweet potato feast- he LOVES them!
he just likes awkward positions


His flirty face wearing a muscle shirt
O yeah check me out...
I seriously love this outfit- but he doesn't look like a baby anymore!

Well it's official- my little baby is no longer a baby- he's a little boy, I mean he may as well get his drivers license and then leave for college, that's how fast the time is flying, or so it seems. 2011 was quite an adventure with tons of changes, so we're excited to see what new adventures await us in 2012!
