Happy New Year from My Family to Yours

I would have to say it has been a successful year! We have done so much in the last year. We have made a few changes: a baby, new job, moving (again), and David starting his dissertation. Looking at all those changes and what we have done in the last year I feel so blessed to have a husband that loves me, and healthy growing baby boy, family and friends wherever I go and the faith of Christ. I pray for my family and all of yours that you are blessed in this coming year and you find joy and happiness even in the small things...I have found those to be the most remembered!

Right before we shot this video he would lift up his shirt and show us his belly button when we asked him to (hence all of the times we ask him to do it in the video). At the very beginning this is what he is doing--you'll notice that his shirt is up and his hand is on his tummy. He was showing us his belly button. But then he went crazy when the camera came out.

Noah!

Noah is awesome. Not even baby gates can hold him! He likes Santa, he's pretty cute in footy PJs, and he likes Spaghetti!
We have had one busy weekend, as I am sure everyones is getting this time of year. We decorated gingerbread houses, an Elder tradition that David has kept alive for us here in Texas, on Saturday with friends in Fort Worth. It was great to see everyone! As you can see we got to visit with the Santa this weekend too. Noah was a little unsure, there was a lot going on but it started to warm up a little but our little fella would not humor us with a smile. Oh well! Sunday Daivd and I got to go out with another couple we say two movies: Four Christmas' and Australia and went out for dinner. It was great to get out together we haven't done that too much. Oh yeah we also put up our Christmas tree, as yes I did put it on the balcony!! It is cute and perfect, it does not take up any 'used' space, there is no threat of Noah pulling or pushing it over and it can be seen by cars driving by (if they look up 3 stories!). Well, have a great week everyone, until next time.
