Sorry everyone, I've been slacking. School and finals kept me busy and pretty much took over my life there for awhile. However, I have a break from school for a few weeks and I am thoroughly enjoying being home with my family and with Aaron. Christmas was so fun this year! Aaron actually had the day off. We were able to spend Christmas morning with my family and then we spent the afternoon with his family in Fillmore and Ephraim. We were definitely spoiled this year by our families, we got a lot of neat stuff. It was no surprise that Aaron would spoil me as well, he got me a ton of stuff. He is so funny. A few weeks before Christmas we went shopping so that he could get a few ideas of what to buy. I tried on a few pairs of boots and told him that I wanted him to pick out the final pair. Well Christmas morning I get a couple of pairs of different boots and I was a bit confused. Aaron said that he couldn't decide so he just decided to let me have both. I am a pretty lucky girl, any girl wouldn't mind having extra shoes. He also followed all of my post-it hints that I left laying around the house of what I wanted this year. Aaron is so good to me and I probably don't deserve it. He got me way too much for Christmas. Opening presents was really fun. Watching my nephews was so funny. After the famous pumpkin waffle breakfast at my parent's we were able to go to Fillmore to eat dinner with Aaron's Mom's family. We pretty much had three Christmas' because after that we had another Christmas at Aaron's parent's house. I was so glad that we were able to spend Christmas with both of our families, I guess that's the luxury of them living so close. I didn't get too many pictures of Christmas this year, so sorry this is all you get. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
Christmas morning!
Christmas morning with Carter, his first Christmas!
We spent Christmas Eve at the annual Parry family Christmas party. It is always so fun when everyone can get together. I haven't seen half his family in months. Every year they exchange white elephant gifts and as you can see below Aaron left with a pretty fancy one. I think Mexico fits him! After the Parry party, I was able to spend the rest of the night with my family, playing games and opening Christmas Eve pajamas. My whole family was down at my parent's and it was so fun to see my nephews get so excited about Santa Clause coming.
Us and Aaron's grandma Joyce. She doesn't look too happy, but she is the sweetest lady.
I was so excited to get done with my finals so that I could come home and actually make it to one of Aaron's basketball games. Aaron plays basketball in a league in Mt. Pleasant. He hasn't been able to make it to all of the games because of work and coming to see me in Cedar City, but I was excited when I was actually able to make it to a game. Aaron is so good at basketball and I know he hates when he misses the games. It's so funny to watch the games sometimes, because the men get so physical and talk so much trash. I guess it keeps them young!
Thanksgiving was a lot of fun this year. Unfortunately Aaron had to work that night, but we were at least able to spend a few hours at my parent's house for Thanksgiving dinner. I am so thankful I have a husband who works as hard as he does. I get frustrated when he has to work holidays, but I know he is just doing all that he can to spoil me. Thanks for everything Aaron! We are truly blessed for all that we have.
I'm a little behind, but my sister Marcie finally had her handsome baby boy. Carter Jackson Keen was welcomed into our family on November 10, 2009. We couldn't be more excited. Aaron was hoping they would name him Aaron Junior, but apparently they didn't take his advice. He is the most adorable thing. My other three nephews all tease me and let me know that Marcie is their favorite aunt, so I'm hoping I at least have a shot at being Carter's favorite. I guess we'll see how it goes. We are so happy for Marcie and Kaylon!
