The next weekend, we drove down to St. Johns to have another Thanksgiving dinner there and to give Christmas gifts, an our niece Anastasia was getting baptized! It was a busy weekend, but it was so awesome :) I am so sad that I only took pictures of Anastasia. Next time I will take more pictures! Stasia looks so pretty in her dress and we are so proud that she decided to get baptized!
After we got home, we put up our Christmas decorations! This is me showing our pretty Christmas tree.
And this is Marc showing it off! It looks pretty darn good! Oh I forgot that we didn't have a star yet in these pictures! We did end up getting one though, so it did look complete eventually :)
My mom, Shayle, James, and Porter spent the night at our house on their way back home from my cousin Crystal's wedding. I took some cute pictures of Porter :) I hadn't seen him since our wedding in June! He is running around like a crazy kid and is so fun!
I love his pjs! The little claws on the feet are my favorite!
Since we weren't at his birthday party, we gave him his gifts when they were here.
Here is a picture of our apartment with all of the lights on! It looks nice and festive. Pretty impressive for our 1st Christmas together :)
We opened a few gifts before we left to go to Colorado.
Marc spoiled me and gave me a Kindle! He is the best! We also bought a fish tank that we are just about ready to fill :)
We were driving to Colorado and the sun kept going behind the clouds and it looked so cool! So I had to take a few pictures of it. It looked like the moon!
We finally made it to Colorado! This is us by the tree there before our Christmas Eve dinner. Hence the apron :) I was helping to cook the delicious food
Then we went and looked at Christmas lights. I love looking at lights! It was chilly but it was nice that there was no snow!
After we looked at lights, we went back and opened our pajamas! Porter was so cute to watch.
He was more interested in his wrapping paper than the cute jammies that you can see he threw to the side :)
Here is a shot of all of us crazy girls!
Christmas was wonderful and we had so much fun! We are back in Provo now and I started a new semester of school. Marc just was given a higher position at Staples making $2 more an hour and he will be given some manager duties, which is great because he is going to start school during the summer and he is going into business management. We are happy and are doing great! Pretty soon I will post pictures of our new fishies :)
