It's been a CRAZY month (to say the least)! I started off the month with a girls trip to NYC with Kelly and Kamilah (we went to visit Kamilah). We wore ourselves out with all the shopping, etc. in New York City. I got back to Dallas and 3 days later we left for Colorado to stay with Chad's family. It's always fun to see family there and Dresden especially loves playing with his cousins. Back to Dallas and the next day Chad's brothers came out to stay with us for the weekend and on Sunday they left and we also left for Utah! It's been a whirlwind of a month and I haven't even had a chance to think about Christmas! Now in Utah things are finally starting to settle down and we're getting in the Chrismas spirit. There's tons of snow here (as opposed to our 75 degree Dallas weather) and we are having a blast! Chad has been snowboarding every day and is taking Dre up tomorrow for the first time - we'll see how that goes!! I'm just happy to be near family and friends and I'm reminded how truly blessed we are!

Sledding in Utah!

We had so much fun today taking Dresden Sledding for the first time! This was his first experience with the snow so it took him a while to figure it all out. He did not understand why he had to wear so much clothing, but gradually he let us put more and more layers on him as he realized it made him warm! He loved going down the hill with Daddy (and mom too) and he loved playing in the snow too! It's so much fun to be here in Utah this time of year!

Kamilah's Shower in a Box!

A few pics of the book I put together for Kamilah's Wedding Shower (in a box). Kelly and I surprised her with it when we went to visit her in NYC. She was so excited that all her friends sent her messages and she scored big time with gift cards!! Our NYC girls trip was a lot of fun, Kelly has all the pics so I'll post them when I get them. It was fun to see the city at Christmas time - Rockefellar Plaza, shopping, The Macy's window's, and the Rockett's at Radio City were a few of the highlights!
