Festival of Trees


Last week we went with some of our friends to the Festival of Trees. If you don't know what that is, it is a big huge convention center filled with hundreds or really cool crazy decorated trees. Then people buy the trees for lots of money and all the money made goes to some sort of Charity. So for a few days they have the trees on display for people to go see. The Hicks family introduced me to it 3 years ago and I have gone every year since. We also went to Pei Wei! YUM

First Christmas

This is our first Christmas season as a new family. And this is our first Christmas Tree!

Dana is getting MARRIED!

My cousin Dana spent a lot of time at our house growing up. My sister and I were able to become really close with her. I am happy to say she has found a great guy to spend her life with.
Over Thanksgiving weekend we were able to through her a bridal shower. It was fun to get together with the family that was able to be there.


Let's Go Jazz!

Matt finally bought his first Jazz shirt. Yay.

A couple weeks ago we had a lucky day. First we got a call from our Jazz Rep asking if we wanted to upgrade for FREE to a box seat to the Trailblazers game on Nov. 28th. Then Matt got a text from a guy in our ward saying he had an extra ticket to the BYU vs Utah game. It was the same day as my cousin Dana's bridal shower. So while I was having a good time with the Ladies in the family, Matt took my grandpa to meet my uncle Mike and go for a ride in his 4 person plane. He said it was really great! Then when he was on his way home I got a text asking if I wanted my friends extra ticket to the BYU game. So we went to the BYU game that was very very exciting! BYU won in a close game. Then right after that we headed to sit in our box seats at the Jazz game. Usually I wear my jazz apparel to the games but that day I wore my BYU shirt because there are lots of hard core Utah fans that go to the Jazz games. :) It was fun... Sorry Dad.

This is the Jazz vs Bulls game that was on thanksgiving. Matt wore a Bulls coat because he likes the Bulls because he served his mission in Chicago and because of Michael Jordan. But he cheered for the jazz most the time anyway.
This picture if from our seats. They are pretty far up, but I love it anyway!
I am the X-Factor!
