We're Having A Baby!

Yep, it's true and we're super excited! We announced it earlier at Thanksgiving to our immediate family members with a fake Christmas card, where instead of our regular update on the back it had this cute poem (don't mind the logo over 2015):


Both of our families were super excited, but they all knew we were trying so I don't think anyone was truly surprised. Still such a fun way to announce it to them!

We finally went to the doctor when we were 10 weeks along and saw our baby's heartbeat. It looked strong and healthy, and baby was moving around a ton! It made us both think it was a little guy (David is the busy one in this household), but we'll see. We did not get a picture because the images weren't that great during the ultrasound, but we'll hopefully get one at our next appointment.

Then when we were in Colorado for Christmas, my dad took this great picture and we put it up on Facebook to announce to other family and friends. He did a great job and we love how it turned out:


Can't wait to ski with our little one in years to come!

Thanksgiving 2014 Recap

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I am always so excited to see family, eat lots of yummy food, and get everything ready for Christmas! This year we had the best of both worlds; we spent the first few days with David's family and then the last few with my family. Splitting the holiday was so fun, and I am so grateful for our wonderful families!

David's family came out and we all stayed at a condo up in Park City. We had the best time hanging out and playing tons of games. We also tried to take some group pics (just with an iPhone) but they turned out okay! 


Love this guy.

I definitely lucked out with my in-laws. I seriously have so much fun with these ladies:

All the boys. Love that little baby Nix!

And the whole group. Jessie put her phone on top of Daniel's car and this is what we got on the first try...not too shabby!

The cute condo we stayed at:

We celebrated Thanksgiving dinner with the Drakes, but unfortunately didn't get any pictures. It was delicious though! That evening we drove out to Colorado and got in super late. We skied Friday and Saturday and had a great time. Oh, it felt so good to be back on the slopes. My legs were burning though and definitely need to get back into skiing shape!

Here we are at the bus stop after the first day of skiing:

Besides skiing, we went Black Friday shopping and also out to eat our last night at our favorite Italian place. And here's another picture of the cutest kids you ever did see!

It was so fun to watch Ty try and ski. We can't wait to be back in about 3 weeks for Christmas! Thank you to both of our families for everything and being so much fun :)
