Here is Lexi sleeping with our kitty, we brought her along with us.
Little Marissa is getting to be so big! It is so amazing how these kids grow so fast. She is smiling and laughing now. After eating turkey at my Grandma's house we went to spend some time with my father and ate some delicious bbq tri-tip! It was a nice second meal for us.
I always like to get in the "sister" picture when we are all together. Thanks to my wonderful husband for taking such a wonderful picture; he actually caught Marissa smiling!My mom came out this weekend with Mike and Adam to stay in our new house. We had a lot of fun! My mom, me, Adam and Becky enjoyed a nice full day of shopping for Christmas decorations around town while the men hung up our Christmas lights. It was a fun weekend to have them over. I decorated my tree for the very first time...I still have a few more things to hang on it, but it feels nice to do my own decorating for the holidays.
We had my mom take a picture in front of our new tree before they left to go back home. I am sure Honey (our cat) is glad that Adam went home, I think she was getting irritable being picked up so many times. He told my mom that he wished he was my kid so he could stay here and play with the cat all he wanted. Kids are TOO funny! This will be our first Christmas family portrait!
We had such a wonderful weekend, we are so thankful for all the time we had to spend with our family during the holiday. Christmas will be here before we know it!
Well, we finally did it! We packed and moved everything into our new house. It was a very tiring and stressful day, but we got through it. We love our new house, and can't wait to get rid of all these boxes!
David's parents came out and helped us move. Dave helped David set up all the big items, so all that is left to do is unpack all the smaller boxes.
Sister Lewis in our ward offered to bring us dinner for our first night in our new house. She is so sweet, she really treated us to a wonderful delicious dinner. Her presentation was beautiful too! We had beef stew, homemade biscuits, sliced fruit, salad, dessert and sparkling cider with 2 glasses to celebrate!
She was pretty dirty so we decided to give her a bath. She didn't like it, which was expected - but it was much needed!
Even though it doesn't look like it here, she seemed to really like the blow dryer
Ta Da!! A big change isn't it! She doesn't look like a greasy dirty cat anymore! She was exploring while we were getting a little bit of packing done.
She fell asleep as I was brushing her, isn't she so cute!!
I think the only thing I am going to miss about the apartment complex we live in are all the cats! There are cats EVERYWHERE around this place. They mostly hang out by the trash, but there are a few that are tame and hang out by the apartments to get attention. I love to sit and pet the ones that are friendly. Today I met this little kitten, she ran over 100 yards to come to me.
I petted her outside for a while, and then we let her in to feed her some tuna since she looked a little underfed. She ate a whole can of tuna, we had to break apart the pieces because she wasn't doing to much chewing.
I have been dreaming about this table I wanted at World Market for a while, and I knew it wasn't something we would buy until sometime next year, but I got a Friends and Family coupon for 25% off through my email, and thought we would go see how much we would save. Well -- we got there and they already had a sale on their dining sets, plus we got the extra 25% off!
