Baby's First Christmas Ornament

Oh your baby's first Christmas, a time for joy and love and totally failing at making hand print ornaments :-/ But it didn't stop us from having a great time.

I was so elated to see these little munchkins again!!! As you all know 2014 was the year of the baby for my friends. There were EIGHT other friends of ours to have babies this year, and that's not counting all my Facebook friends. The great thing about having babies at the same time are the obvious things for one, lots of things have changed and we can all relate. Well another HUGE benefit to this is get togethers/play dates like these :)) 

We wanted to get together as soon as we got in town and because it was days before Christmas, we turned it into an ornament making party.

It was also a very important game day for the Cowboys so Carter Lee came and showed his support! Now I'm not saying he had other motives but he sure did make his self comfortable for these photos.

Don't point out my babies blue line -_- her diaper was changed shortly after this pic was taken! HAHA!

It was time to start and I'm not sure Noelle appreciated being the guinea pig by her expression

Umm yeah sure, that's good enough...

"I'm naked so I must be next?"

Ok Carise!

 Uhh…not feeling it!

 "I don't know about this Mom, Carise was pretty upset"

We missed sleepy little Liam :( but he made one later

OK group picture!!

Or not….

Noelle + Cart P + Carter Lee + Carise + Liam= NC3L
 (not to be confused with a MAC foundation)

 Liam:  "I don't know guys, life seems pretty good to me"

So then the Mom's bust out the ABC's

Cart P's smile!!! SWOON!

 Gotcha!

<3

 Somaiya with that new Mommy glow :) Beautiful!!

 Yota men and their Yota babies!

Christmas Partaaay!

With hardly any time to spare after arriving in Orlando from Denver, we were off to Tj's Christmas work party! 

My eyebrows were on FLEEK (I'm not sick of that word yet) so my selfie game was strong!

The house where the party was held was SICK! It sat on a lake and had the most beautiful back yard, the ones you dream about, or in my case, pin on pinterest. 

The food was SO good. The menu included shrimp and grits, need I say more?

The drinks were great too! Madi and I very much enjoyed :)

And who doesn't love a photo booth?!!

But who needs one with this kind of serve!!! BAHAHAHA! Ok we're done! I <3 you MADI!

 Friends for LIFE!

The Road to Denver

After finishing out a crazy work schedule our last couple of weeks in San Diego, we wasted no time and planned to get on the road to Denver the next morning before the crack of dawn. The apartment was packed and Noelle was all kinds of confused! HA!

"Where's my stuff??"

As my husband promised, 4am, time to roll out.

We made great time getting into Utah and called it a day!

And then this happened….we heard angels singing!!!

Our FAVORITE place to eat while living in Orange County, CA was upon us!

Sweet pork tacos with a view.

And someone really liked the beans!!

The next day was incredibly scenic.

I missed the opportunity to take pictures on some parts of the trip (including the Colorado state sign) because it was so pretty I thought my pictures would do it NO justice, and because I was stuck in the back with this sugar monster :) 

Thank GOD for the great weather and Tj's ability to stay awake while Nelly and I snoozed in the back. We made it!!! With the Broncos stadium in our sites we headed to do work :-/

We had to pack the storage unit :( It took 2 hours but we (Tj) did it!! Noelle stayed strapped to me while we played life-size Tetris.

Get er' done!!

We hopped on a plane just a few hours later to spend the holidays in Orlando.
