Dallin and I celebrated 2 years of marriage.

We welcomed our sweet baby boy into the world. 

It's been a lovely year.

Blessed

Cal was blessed in Salt Lake on the Saturday after Christmas. It was an incredible evening. Calvin looked pretty darn adorable in his tie and suspenders. Dallin blessed him to be a kind man and to influence people for good. We were grateful that Dal's family was able to make the trek from St. George. Lots of people that we love were there. 

Home for the Holidays

Calvin made Christmas pretty darn magical.

We spent the weekend before in Santa Clara where Calvin got to spend lots of time with cousins, and Hobbes got all sorts of attention/harassment. We took family pictures, which turns out to be quite the experience with 7 little ones. We also played games and went to baby Ellie's baby blessing.

We spent Christmas in SLC with my family. We had the traditional Christmas Eve games and tacos, and Max won the pudding competition. Cal got to meet Aunt Sherrie for the first time and spent all of Christmas morning smiling his little guts out. It was lovely.

Hobbes got some presents too

We have spent our time off running, snowboarding, and seeing friends. Cal and I are grateful for Dal's time off of studying his life away. This next semester is going to be particularly grueling since boards are coming up. Christmas 2012 was a success!
