Vegas Christmas!

So I didn't get many pictures at all of our christmas morning, I did however, capture it on the camcorder, so when I figure that one out, I will put it on here! Here are the pictures I did get!
The Gingerbread house that I and Tejia and Cayden, Tejia's cousin, put together! Turned out alright!

2011 Christmas

Tejia and Torrence got the chance to go see Santa and Tejia told him what she wanted for Christmas! This year she wanted a Figit and an art easel board to practice being an artist! We went to the Shops at Riverwoods and it was FAREEEZING cold! It was still a bit of fun though! We went out with Aimee and Savannah and a couple of Sav's friends! They have awesome displays of Christmas lights there and I like the Santa in the cottage, too. It was free and we were allowed to take our own pictures, so no expensive stuff! I loved the dripping icesickle lights they have there, Tejia is pictured by a tree with those lights on it above! It was just nice to get out and have an evening away from home!

Christmas dance recital 2011

Yay! Tejia wasn't sick this year for her dance recital! I was sooo excited to go see her perform! She absolutley LOVES to put on a show, especially in her costumes! She really loved the blue and black costume this year! Tejia did such an outstanding performance for her rehearsal and recital! I loved every second of it! She was mostly excited to get some roses at the end of the show from me and Brant! I still don't know how to upload the actual performance from my camcorder onto the computer, I promise, I will have Brant look into it, to see if it can be done so you can view it on my blog, but until then, here are a few pics of her in her cute costumes to enjoy!

Thanksgiving Day 2011

So, this year we had Thanksgiving dinner at our lilttle house here in Eagle Mountain. We didn't have a lot of people here, but just enough to make it a good Thanksgiving. I would have liked to try and make the dinner, but I didn't have the time or space or money to do it this year. We just ordered a Thanksgiving Feast from Mimi's Cafe, which turned out to be really yummy I thought! We all thought so actually! I did end up making some yummy dinner rolls and pumpkin pie though! We had a great time, watching football, playing some games on the PS3, visiting and catching up with the Malolo's, since we don't get to see them very often.
Tejia LOVED having grandma Klover and papa Tony here. She couldn't get enough of them. It was nice to let her spend some time with them, it let me do some christmas shopping for her this year!
All in all, we had a great time!

Torrence's Blessing dress

So I just took some pictures of Torri in her blessing dress, and also Tejia's old blessing dress, just for fun, she looked so beautiful in both of them! I had to do it a bit later after her blessing though, because I didn't have a lot of time to take pictures on the day of, so here they are. I had to get some more because the ones I did take were on my phone and were a little blurry because Torri was wiggling a bit! I wish I could get some professional ones done, but our funds are a bit low this season, so we'll just do with the ol' home-made photos! They work just as well I guess!

Look who's 3 months old!

Love those little smiles! Just melts my heart!

I love this face too, only her eyes aren't as big as I have seen them before! When she gets excited, her eyes are HUGE, and you can see the white of her eyes all around, it is so funny, but so cute! I love that her eyes are blue, too, who would have thought?...with Brant and I having brown eyes!
