Once Upon A December

This might be my longest post yet...

We started off the holiday season crafting and partying. We had our friends over to make Gingerbread houses and gorge ourselves on candy. I think Katelyn ate an entire bag of Good and Plenty's. Caleb tried to fill his house to the brim with just candy. It was so funny watching them make their own houses.Jason and Erin got the most creative award... :)Aria made little snowflake ornaments out of toilet paper rolls for Grandma and Grandpa. I think they turned out pretty cute. Sorry I don't have a picture of the finished product... but we got the tutorial here
So, what we thought was going to be an uneventful anniversary, turned out to be pretty exciting! We decided to celebrate by going out to Cheesecake factory. It was a lot of fun to just be together. We couldn't do anything too exciting because we had to leave at 6:15 the next morning for a 10 day trip. However, we were both up at 1 AM, 2 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM etc. with our heads in the toilet. How romantic! We're pretty sure it was food poisoning. eek! My episode had a little longer lasting effects and I threw up on both legs of our flight to Boise. But by the time I got to La Grande, I had kept a chicken nugget down for about 3 hours, definitely a record. I was starving inside! At least Aria wasn't sick.Once we got to Oregon, this was the go-to place to find Aria. Right next to Baby Teager... She loved this little gal!It snowed! Aria could not even help herself... LOVED it! Due to a little mix-up we had to go get this coat and moon boots! I have to admit, I'm not that sad. I think they're pretty darn cute....I'm gonna get you Daddy!Yay for Christmas PJ's! So cute... little muffin!The highlight of Christmas Eve was getting to be Mary. That has been a major feature this Christmas season. Every blanket automatically becomes a head dress for Mary. She finally got to actually act it out... with baby Teagan. Can you say heaven?I swear, I'm a good Mom most of the time... Good night!Good morning!
Stockings and breakfast!Santa brought a train!1st totally awesome picture with our brand new totally awesome camera! Yay! I love my new baby!Cute couple. I just loved this pic.We had a great time with the Pettit's, we were sad to leave, but excited to see my own family. We held Christmas there that night! The princess shoes were already on, and here comes the crown!pure glee!"I don't want to go to bed!"Kubb was a big hit with both families! We played this all the time in St. George. We all loved it! Thanks, Jason and Erin!
Merry Christmas everyone!

The pics with your new camera are awesome! You are super talented. So I'm guessing you guys decided on a name for baby boy Pettit? I don't remember that one being one of your options. Maybe I'm just forgetful. Did you decide on a middle name?

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
