Recap.

I know its been awhile since I’ve blogged when I start hearing about it in person. Who knew I had such dedicated reader’s! I last left you with the Giving Thanks Project. I have to say it was wildly successful. If you are feeling low in life, instead of trying to brighten your own life, try telling people around you what they mean to you. Not everyone will respond, some of mine never had a chance to. But I did get a few letter’s in return. I could have burst with sunshine with all the happiness shared. Truly, I feel that because I was spreading cheer, my life seemed more joyful in the everyday moments.

As for what’s been going on in this crazy house. Lots of madness. I feel that it’s finally settled down, just long enough to blog. So here’s the story….in pictures of course!

1. I never told you about the amazing Thanksgiving we had up in the Mountains in Utah. A mini road trip to see Brandon’s family. Lots of delicious food, jumping on the trampoline, ATVing, even archery! {Yes everyone, you should all know my nickname is Katniss and I split an arrow. Brandon offered to go first so I wasn’t embarrassed, I forgot to mention it wasn’t my first time holding a bow and arrow!}

2. We kicked off the Christmas season with a little Christmas Luncheon at my sister in Law’s house. I made a Christmas sprinkle cake. I love them because I feel like they are easy for a big effect. Though I definitely liked the multicolored sprinkles of Sawyer’s Birthday cake over just the red, green and white.

3. I did my first Gender Reveal Cake. For those not aware of this pinterest inspired party sweeping the Mom to Be’s, its a cake with frosting tinted pink or blue based on a secret ultrasound that no one but the doctor and baker is aware of! How cute is that? Surprise it was PINK! Everyone was very excited and surprised that there will be a little girl soon!

4. I hosted the first annual “Ginger Bread House decorating at Auntie Lissa’s” Though the decorating wasn’t a huge hit, {I think they all are still too young!} There was still many many laughs. Sawyer was in heaven just running in circles with his cousin’s.

5. We went to a Christmas Party for the company that Brandon used to work for. Got all dressed up, {In my new Modcloth dress!} Had lots of fun. I cant wait to see pictures from the party because its the first time Ive ever left the house in 4 years of marriage without my baby…I was camera-less. {O THE HORROR!} But have no fear for my phone was always nearby!

6. And speaking of new Modcloth! Brandon surprised me with a gift card to Modcloth a few weeks back, and although there is a beautiful but tent sized sweater on it’s way back to them, I fell in love with my new shirt and dress. I have the sister designs to the same shirt in my cart to swap for my return. Its not the first time Ive ordered from Modcloth but it’s the first time Ive been head over heels over my order. O ya and it feels great to be buying new clothes because I am only 5 pounds away from pre pregnancy weight! So big thank you to Brandon for being the most amazing hubby. I cant say enough how great you are to me. I love you.

And that’s all you’ve missed during those lonely nights without lissables to entertain you. I’ve got loads of posts waiting to be written. Lots of pinterest inspired projects going on. Visits to Santa planned this week. Christmas traditions to share. New ones to start! I promise not to leave you all hanging for another month!

Thanks for being so loyal, I love each and every one of you!
