Christmas Gifts

This year I decided to make jar cookies. It's been a fun project and fairly inexpensive. Below are some pictures of how I put the jars together. Merry Christmas!

Lily Meets Grandpa Chuck & Great Grandma Peden

My dad was able to come out for Lily's baby blessing. It was so nice to have him out here for a few days. I was sad to see my mom go, but super grateful for her time here.
Lily's great grandmother also flew in from Arizona for her blessing. She is very loved!

Lily Arrives & Meets Grandma Janie

This is a picture of Lily and my mom. I tried to hold Lily in...but she decided to come just a little early. Tait and I were deciding if we should head to the hospital or stay home. We headed to the hospital. I was I'm way too much pain to do anything else. I went into labor around 3am on Saturday morning. My mom jumped on the next available flight from Boston to Utah. I had Lily at 2:15pm on Saturday. My mom was able to arrive late that night. We were so happy to have her there.
My mom was able to stay with us for a little over 6 weeks - a huge blessing! She is the best mom and such a great example for me to look up to. She has taught me lots and we miss her tons!

Dog sitting

We are dog sitting and house sitting for my brother in PG this weekend. They went to Aruba for some fun with their friends.
We are enjoying a nice quiet house, cable tv, huge jetted bathtub, etc.
It's like a mini vacation for our mini family.

Today, while at CJ's place, we watched tv with Sprocket and took Lily for a long walk.
