Hives

Fortunately, they didn't seem to itch or bother him too much.  We aren't sure if he is allergic to a certain food or anti-biotic, or if it was a viral infection but I hope he doesn't get it again.

Samoa Bars - I was really disappointed.  Tannon loved them, though.

Thoughts

It feels good to do hard things.

I really don't like clothes shopping.

This is currently my favorite cookbook.

I am so far behind on reading blogs.  I don't think I will ever catch up.

I think I need to find a better routine in my day, rather than just doing what I want, when I want.

I have the best husband.

Our friend let us borrow one of these and Lennon is so cute in it.  A baby must-have.

The Beach Boys music will never get old.

how being a mom has changed me

i like the smell of baby puke

80% of my day involves me singing

i find burps to be hysterical

even just one smile makes my day

Christmas Vacation 2011

Of course, another highlight of our trip to Utah was seeing our niece.  It was so much fun to see her and Lennon together.  They love each other!  Lennon just watches Morgan's every move.  Morgan makes sure that Lennon is taken care of at all times.  They are best friends already.

My mom and sister were so nice and threw a little get together for our extended family to meet Lennon.  

We were also lucky enough to have Tannon's aunt do the same thing on their side of the family.  

We did a lot of eating, playing, talking, and eating.  We got pedicures, saw some friends, watched movies, and relaxed.  

Christmas Eve we went to dinner with Tannon's family and my family.  It was fun to get everyone together.  

That night, we stayed up late baking, wrapping presents, and playing Guitar Hero.  We slept at Missy's house and woke up and opened presents.  It was so fun to watch Morgan get so excited about hers.  Kids make holiday's fun.  In the afternoon, we went to my Grandma's house for dinner for the entire extended family.  Then, it was off to Tannon's parents where we were able to spend time with his whole family and open presents.

We couldn't have asked for a better Christmas.
