Christmas Festivities 2018


We had such a lovely Christmas season in Utah (with missing Dallin of course). Calvin got back into his groove and wasn't so dramatic about Dal being gone and we LOVED THE SNOW. We loved all of the Christmas things. oh and the snow! Ha, we haven't lived by snow in 7 years so we were giddy about it all winter.

We also found out the gender of our little baby in December! My mom + Calvin came with me to the ultrasound. We all closed our eyes during the gender part, then the ultrasound lady texted Dallin. We decided to have Dallin reveal the gender to us via FaceTime that weekend. It ended up being a blackout internet day in Afghanistan so I was a little stressed but he ended up getting it. He filled a medical glove up with little pink paper and then popped it while my whole family was over at Max and Steph's. Another little boy for our family!

Another super exciting thing that happened in December is that Dallin matched! No more match ever again. The few days leading up to the day I was a basket case (understatement), but we were so excited and I am proud of him. Texas, here we come.
