Fun Times in December

December has been a lot of fun! Avery's blessing day was December 9th. It was such an amazing day. We were able to be with our families which was the perfect way to spend the day!
We had a luncheon after the blessing and got to visit with everyone.
It finally snowed! We weren't sure if we were going to have a white Christmas but we definitely did! Casey shovels the driveway about three or more times a day.
This is what I do while he is outside in the cold. I drink hot chocolate!
About a week ago, there was the BYU bowl game on tv so of course we all wore Cougar gear that day! I am obsessed with this picture of Casey and Avery in the BYU outfits. I just love them!!

The Big Move

I can't believe how fast December has flown by. The biggest change for our family is that we bought a house! We moved in December 1st. I felt so overwhelmed after unloading all of our things and unpacking all the boxes. We had stuff everywhere and I had to figure out where to put everything. The hardest part was how to decorate the living room and where to hang our pictures. After a few days, we were finally all settled in! It's so nice to finally have our own place.
Another big change is that I finished my student teaching and am officially done with college! I graduated from Utah Valley University with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education.
The second weekend in December, Casey and I went with his parents to Vegas for the National Finals Rodeo. It was a lot of fun being able to go to the rodeo two of the nights! Casey's sisters offered to watch Avery while we were gone so she wouldn't be around all the smoke in Vegas. It was hard to leave her while we were gone! They made sure to send me pictures everyday.
Avery turned two months! I can't believe it. She has changed so much and is now out of the newborn stage. Sad! She is so cute and I love taking pictures of her!
