I think the most exciting news is Josh finished his first semester at the University of Utah with being on the Dean's List. We are so proud of him...now only 3 full semesters and 1part time and he has his bachelors in Anthropology and 2 academic certificates. Adey draws circles, walks up and down stairs with a rail, builds towers using 11 wooden blocks and her duplos (thanks Uncle Jay), has tea parties (thanks to clarissa), feeds her baby in her play high chair (thanks to Santa), puts her baby to sleep in her play baby bed (thanks to Nana and papa for christmas), says about 20 to 25 words, jumps on the bed, laughs all the time, cleans with her new vacuum and broom/mop set (all thanks to nonni and grampy), and sits at the table like a big girl! with our taxes we are gonna get her a play kitchen from target and a little table/chair set from ikea...we will have fun with this! she is growing up so fast! We are even gonna redo her bedroom decor with our taxes but not her furniture until we move into our next place where we will have the room to put her baby furniture somewhere. hm...Oskar hates the snow and it freezes his poor paws so i think we are gonna get him some doggy shoes so he can at least go outside and do his business without us always having to make a spot for him. As for me, just work and being crafty. i love making stuff and now i have my cricut (even the next addition up from the one i had because my parents surprised me with it for christmas this year) so i will be doing even more crafts with it even because of the snow i will stay home even more on the weekends and that gives me something to do during nap times.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Josh's family....lots of food and taking pictures and relaxing. We did Christmas with us 2 weeks early and celebrated mine and Josh's 4 year anniversary with Adey at a Japanese place (thanks to Malinda and Evan for suggesting it...the food was yummy), then Christmas with josh's family the day after ours, and then went to Nebraska to be with my family a week later and had a wonderful 2 week vacation with them for Christmas. They bought a beautiful house and it is coming together nicely. My mom was sick most of the time so to our advantage we got to spend more time with her. We went to the zoo, shopping, met mom for her lunch breaks, went out to dinner, got to see my brother, sewed some, watched movies, met santa, built 2 dogs at build a bear, and made memories. it was a great trip seeing my family and look forward to going back for my dad's retirement party in august.
