Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent the last 2 weeks in Utah doing just what Chris wanted to... Nothing! We had a great time catching up with family and lots of good friends but I think what we enjoyed most was sleeping in and relaxing!

Here's McKenna is her Thanksgiving pajamas I just couldn't resist!... the read... Everyone is thankful for me!... and that we are!

McKenna getting ready for all the yummy Thanksgiving food!!!

She thought it was pretty fun to sit in this basket! It is such a blessing to have so many grandparents and great grandparents to love us and our baby girl!!!

She also enjoyed a little preview of what Christmas has to bring since Chris' Grandma gave her a baby doll early as well as the books and toys her nana and papa spoiled her with!

McKenna LOVED being around the puppies! The longer we were there the more comfortable she became with them!

It was so great to catch up with old friends! We made it down to Brick Oven... where it all began! I adore Cristina and Paulie... so good to catch up! Chris and I also got 2 date nights! Once to the temple and the other out with John and Bonnie! There's nothing quite like friends who no matter how long it's been... it's still the same! We enjoyed dinner and a New Moon! Thanks again for treating us to the movie guys! So nice.




Besides our car's battery dying and having the flu we had such a great time! I love the holiday season and the joy it brings in the air!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tests, Tests, Tests

We are on the downhill slope of Chris' first finals week. He has 2 tests left of 7 total! He has done SO well on all of the ones so far and I'm sure will do great on the last 2! Finals week includes lots and lots of studying... and Caffeine!!!

McKenna enjoyed crawling for like a week... now she is dying to walk! Her newest thing is to stand by all of her toys! She thinks she is so big!!!

After finals we'll be headed to Utah for Thanksgiving! Hang in there Chris!!!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great week of Halloween festivities!!!

Wednesday we had our church party! Our friends Kristina and Derek came along with us! Chris wanted to make some chile for the chile cook off... he didn't get home until just an hour before we had to go but he quickly made it and it won a prize, a pie to be exact! He was pretty excited! We then had friends over afterwards to eat the pie!!

Derek and Kristina!

Batman and Batwoman, Snow White and two of the dwarfs, Dalmation and Bikers, and a Snow Bunny, and a Fighter Pilot!

Chris and McKenna doing the cake walk! Jessy also did the cake walk except it took her like 10 tries to actually win... it was pretty funny! Here she is enjoying the cupcake she finally won!

Friday Midwestern had a party with trick or treating at all the offices! It was pretty fun!

Here's McKenna trick or treating! Happy 1st Halloween McKenna!

She has also learned how to drink out of a straw!

Friday evening we had a party at some friends house that was so fun! I made a Halloween cake! Then on actual Halloween we went to Chipotle and passed out candy with Kristina!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 09!
