i feel like i post about nothing most of the time, so here is what we have been up to this busy december:
my choir recently sang at the beneficial life christmas party. in the audience were President Monson, President Uchtdorf, Elder Bednar, Elder Oaks & Elder Perry. it was so fun to see them out there while we were singing. we were also able to stay and here President Monson speak. i just love him. it is amazing how the spirit fills the room when he speaks. this was another new and wonderful experience with the salt lake symphonic choir.
we have been LOVING all of the snow. i'm so glad my alaskan husband appreciates the snow as much as i do! i think it's the best thing ever to wake up in the morning and look out the window to see snow falling. it's magical.
lately we have been buying a lot of baby stuff. if we walk into a store with a baby section, we inevitably leave with something for our little girl. i've actually been putting some thought into the nursery lately... although it pains me to think about all the junk we need to move to get it ready!
last weekend we doubled with kess & ryan and had so much fun as usual. we watched home alone because i know they truly appreciate how classic it is. seriously, is that not the best christmas movie ever?? well, it's a favorite at our house, anyway.
we also played some SERIOUS card games with anthony & gina. and i mean SERIOUS. we like to rotate between nerts, hearts & 13 and these games are intense! we had to play some boggle afterward to calm ourselves down. it's comforting to know that even when i lose horribly at cards, i can still manage a decent score at boggle.
on saturday we went to the temple with my baby sister Annette, who was receiving her endowment. we were also able to help move annette & brad {ok, i supervised... sean moved} into their cute new apartment. i seriously can't believe my youngest sister is getting married. the big day is tomorrow and we are hoping for snow so she can have her umbrella pictures. i wanted snow for my december wedding, too, and somehow there was NONE. like NONE. no snow on the ground or anything. lucky annette.
and most importantly, we watched the 3 hour season fanale of survivor gabon yesterday. BOOOOO. what a disappointment. i wanted matty to win. and seriously, corinne is the DEVIL. i'm so glad the audience booed her.
somehow december is always SO busy and crazy. but it sure is making the days on my baby ticker go more quickly! i hope you are all enjoying it!

I LOVE Home Alone!!! I have to watch it every year. It seriously is an all time favorite!
Yay for updates!! Sounds like you guys are having a great time buying lots of fun baby stuff. And I also LOVE home alone!! So good.
You guys have been busy! I hope the wedding goes well and that there is lots of snow for the pictures. So we still haven't purchased anything for our baby. Does that mean we're going to be bad parents?
that was some serious card playing wasn't it? oh, and i do have to say i've transitioned from 'i hate snow' to 'i dislike snow.' thought you would care.
national nertz association? we're getting super serious now.
Hey, card games can be so... 'LUCKY'...at least winning in Boggle shows that you know your stuff and you're SMART!! Much better accomplishment :) With you on Christmas Shoes (of course! Juliann hates it too) and SO WITH YOU on HOME ALONE!! It's the BEST! PS--the stupid seamstress lady refused to alter my dress, after my asking NICELY!!!! I couldn't believe it!! Anyway, so my mother in law is fixing it right now....
