Happy Christmas!

Every year there is a huge CHristmas Eve party at uncle Dave and aunt Dani Stylers house where all of Tom's extended family gets together and eats and catches up. It is something we look forward to every year

Uncle Mike telling the Christmas Nativity Story like he does every year with all the little cousins acting it out. It is so cute! Sometimes even Minnie Mouse makes an appearance!

Jason, Tom, John, and Kevin

The sister-in-laws that could make it:)


This year was a Miller Christmas so after the Styler christmas eve party we headed to the Miller party! It was so fun! My parents planned a whole bunch of games and snacks and movies! It was good times.

Clearly having a good time! haha this pic cracked me up!

I love that kid and can't wait til he gets home in June! Here is my Mom talking to him! It was so cute as we took turns talking to him we couldn't stop smiling!

Christmas this year was soo good. We got to spend a lot of time with both families. We are so grateful this time of year when we can think about Christ's birth and His life and for all he has done for us. We are so blessed in our lives and everything we have in our lives is from him. I am grateful for all of our many friends and family and hope you all had a merry christmas!

Friday was the Aveda Institute Charity hair and makeup show and it was A LOT of work for everyone but it turned out soo great and we raised $1500 for the Utah Foster Care Foundation and the Love to Breath organization. Tom was a good sport and came to support me...I'm sure its not too difficult watching models on the runway either:)
Then afterwards we went to dinner with Kenzi and Nate, and Ashley and that was so fun, I love those guys!

On saturday night we went to Texas Roadhouse for Brittany's birthday and it was delicous!
Hayden was loving the rolls! but who doesn't?

And here she is sitting on the Texas Roadhouse saddle getting sung Happy Birthday to....your welcome for telling our waitress it was your birthday:) haha







On Sunday we had a party to celebrate a few things...
-Brady and Lindsay Wood moved away to Georgia for Brady to go to Physical Therapy school and we hadn't seen them forever or met their new baby Ryker. So we were so excited to see them while home for Christmas break:) Somehow I didn't get a pic of their little family together:(

We did a little white elephant gift exchange game and shockingly, this hand crocheted, gold framed, green mat, WELCOME sign was not a hit...weird:) Zach and Stacy were thrilled to be going home with it. (they brought it and were hoping to get rid of it...I guess it was just meant to be)

OH they are sooo cute!
