7th Annual Little America Trip

Yet again we took our yearly trip to the Little America Lights! It was fun with Ember old enough to "ooh" and "ahh" at the lights and run around some! Isn't her little hat and mittens adorable?!
 






 
Then after Little America, we went to one of Dustin's clients house who has a lot of lights synced to Christmas music. They did a VERY good job. They had a "mega tree" that made the show with pictures and different designs on it every song! Lots of fun around this time of year!
 
 
(Oh... and here are a few more pictures of Ember in her cute little snow get up playing right outside our condo!)
 


 
 
 


HAPT Christmas Party

Jim and Vicki Graves were kind enough to host the 4th Annual HAPT Employee Christmas Party at their house!! All the employees were able to make it and the food was GREAT! The theme of the food was after a restaurant in California called "Stacked". We had lettuce and many different toppings (including salmon, chicken, and pork.) For dessert we had shortbread cubes with pudding and berries to stack on top. It was a great night!

Womack Wedding Weekend

I was so excited to be asked to be a bridesmaid in my beautiful friend -  Alli Hughes' wedding! Ember, Maci, and I drove down to PHX on Wednesday to take part in the Wedding festivities.
 
We started off with a Jazzercise! It was really a great workout!
 
 
On Thursday, 15 ladies went to get pedicures and then we went out to dinner to celebrate Alli's upcoming wedding!
 
I was honored to sit next to Alli during the pedicure
 
 

 
Friday morning Gma Flin, Ember, and I joined the Mews clan and went to the Butterfly Wonderland! It was very enjoyable!
 
  
 
One landed on Ember's hand!

Kayser Christmas Party!

The Kayser family hosted a Christmas Party with a White Elephant Gift Exchange and holiday snacks! We only knew Mike and Katie but it was fun getting to know some of the other people that go to their church! The invitation said to dress festive - we took that as silly... but we were the only ones ;)
 
(Dustin is Santa in normal day clothes, I am an Elf, and Ember is a baby snowwoman!)

O Christmas Tree

WE GOT OUR CHRISTMAS TREE THIS YEAR!
 
Dustin and I's Christmas present to each other last year was supposed to be a Christmas tree so we had more than a little 3.5 ft potted entrance way tree! Christmas trees never went on sale like we were hoping so we got one this year! It is a 9 ft. Alexander Fur and we LOVE it so far! It is the perfect (with a slight bend of the top) fit for our place and looks very nice! Here are some pictures of the steps of putting it up!
