Christmas 2011

I have always loved Christmas, but now that I have Vivie it is just the best!!! This was the first year she understood anything about it and she had super fun. She loved handing out the presents more than she loved opening them. Her two favorite gifts came from Santa, she loved her shoes and a really cute club chair to keep at Papa and Guhguh's house to sit in. My dad has started a tradition where he gives us each a little something from Tiffany's and it has become one of our favorite things. This year I was shocked to see that Viv was included!! Her necklace is sooo cute, and she loves wearing it. I will never forget it!

Thanksgiving 2011 and the Polar Express

We had a fun Thanksgiving this year. It is always nice to spend time with Ash and her family! While they were here, we had our Polar Express themed Christmas party. It is such a great way to kick off the holiday season!! Moma and Abbie did a great job with the theme!

Our Family Pictures

Thanks to Alisha Shaw for taking our pictures!!

Halloween 2011

Halloween this year was super fun!! We had a circus theme this year and it was awesome! Vivie and I were clowns, Nick was a bearded lady, Abbie was a concessions girl, Braxtin was a strong man, my mom was the ringmaster, moxie was popcorn, millie was cotton candy, gram was a fortune teller, and my dad was Charlie Sheen (possibly the biggest circus freak of all). We had a great time!

More Fall Fun!

We had soo much fun at the farm that we had to go again at night! We love the pumpkin patch and the animals the best!! Nick and I also celebrated our 6th anniversary this past week. We are very very lucky to have each other!

Festive!

We love to go to the farm in October! Viv loves the animals and there is nothing like picking pumpkins in fall!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Ellett

Abbie and Brax got married!! I have been waiting for pictures so that I can do my post and here are just a few. The real pictures are coming soon! It was a lot of work to put it all together, but it turned out so good!!! I am so proud of my mom for creating the whole thing. It took us one trailer, countless cans of spray paint, four trips to target, and three days to get it all done, but we did it! Abbie looked beautiful and Braxtin looked so handsome. Love you guys!!!

family reunion/hamilton's birthday party 2011

We always do a big trip to Salt Lake the first week in August because we have the Evan's family reunion at cherry hill and Hamilton's birthday. This year we took Viv to the zoo for the very first time, she loved the monkeys and the wolf because it looks just like a doggie. Grandma Veon had a birthday party for Viv and it was so fun! She got a lot of cute things and got frosting wasted!!! On Saturday we went to hammie's birthday and Viv had a blast playing in the water with the boys! Ashley is an amazing party planner and she made the cutest Bubble Guppies cake for him!!On Sunday we headed to cherry hill for the reunion. Nick's family has a bean bag game that they always play and at the family reunion they have a big tournament every year. Vivie got to play for the first time and she thought she was very cool!The next day we played in the water at cherry hill. Viv loved pirate's cove and the lazy river. She had fun playing with her little cousins Brooklyn and Kenzie!
