Christmastime

This month has been busy busy busy at work (a lot of overtime) as we had tons of Christmas parties and events, which was very different for my last job as winter was our down season.  We didn't get out to doing many things in the area, but here are some fun pics:

Christmas Lights at the Riverwoods

Christmas Baking!

Fudge, Toffee, No-Bakes, Sugar Cookies, and Divinity!

These made great goodie bags for neighbors and friends :)

Christmas!

We woke up to a beautiful white wonderland outside.  My first white Christmas!  I was ecstatic - I love the snow and this was really our first big snowfall this winter.

Pull Aparts!

It was a simple Christmas this year as we stayed in Utah.  After some major sleeping in, we watched Christmas movies and ate good food (Thomas made a steak dinner)

The snow called for an afternoon walk!  It felt like we had the town to ourselves as we strolled through.  I love snow walks - I feel like I'm in a snow globe with the gentle falling snow.  

Festival of Trees

We went to the Festival of Trees last year and absolutely loved it so of course we had to go this year!  It's a charity event and all the proceeds go to a local children's hospital.  The trees are donated by various individuals/companies and are then auctioned (we're talking thousands of dollars).  It so fun to see all the different themed trees!

There is also a gingerbread house display (these are auctioned as well)

This may be hard to see, but this one was Frozen themed and it was huge!

Fall Festivities

Anniversary - 3 yrs!!

We had a simple celebration at the end of the day since we had work/school.  It involved good food, a fun hotel, and amazing company :) 

The Holladay family visits!

Had a lot of fun with Susie, Mike, and Emily  - ate good food, went to the dinosaur museum, thanksgiving point gardens, fed the ducks at the park, temple square, and more :)

Utah mountains are just stunning during the fall - the colors are amazing.
