Year in Review, Part 1

2009 has been such a good year for us.  Here is 2009 in review, a photo for each month.

 In January we spent a night at the Webb's cabin with some friends. It was freezing but we had so much fun trying to fit all 8 of us on the same black tube and then trying not to die as we all crashed down the hill.

 
February came and I needed a change.  Tierra gave me bangs.

We also said goodbye to Elise who left to Argentina on her mission.

In March we spent a relaxing weekend in St. George celebrating Laura's 18th birthday.  We swam, hiked, goofed off and got massages.  Dave decorated the condo in pink crape paper.

April  came and we were just hanging out.

In May our ultimate frisbee season started and we were able to enjoy the nicer weather.

In June we were lucky enough to celebrate our second anniversary in the most beautiful place I have ever been. Hawaii easily exceeded every expectation and I hope some day we get to go back.

Part 2 coming soon...

I can't believe it's here.  Merry Christmas everyone!

Oh Christmas Tree (Part 2)

Oh Christmas Tree

Last weekend we headed up to Logan to hang out with Katie and Nate and their family. We slept over Friday night and Saturday morning we headed up to Preston to cut down Christmas trees with all of our fam. We hiked all over the mountain and headed home with 4 huge trees. The funny part is that while you are on the mountain the trees look tall, but not that tall. Then you get home and try to bring them into your house, and they are HUGE. We love this tradition!

Here we are with the tree we finally decided on:

(and yes, this tree is taking up at least half of our living room right now...)

Marcus's mom is such a party planner.  Tonight we celebrated Marcus's grandpa's 86th birthday.  Marie had an elf "Trixie" come and entertain and paint faces.
