Christmas Parties

We had the Montague Christmas party early this year up in Heber. For the first time in a LONG time, everyone was able to make it and it was so fun! Claire got spoiled, as usual, and so did Jacob and I. It's so fun to be with family around the holidays! We are so blessed to have such awesome family on both sides.







We also had the annual Newbold BINGO party this last weekend as well. We were lucky enough to already be in Salt Lake so we were able to go! Jacob had to go home before the party because of work, but Claire and I were able to stay and enjoy the party! We ate delicious food, played BINGO and Claire got to sit on Santa's lap. It was such a fun night! Claire loved the wrapping paper more then the present it appears. Oh well, easily pleased! Can't wait for Christmas and all her other gifts, hope she has a hay day!




This face of Claire's is SO funny, I seriously die every time I look at it.

Home Sweet Home

I know this is a long overdue post but... WE MOVED!

St. George is now the place we call home and we couldn't be any more excited! Jacob got a job with Wadsworth Construction and the position happened to be in St. George, so we picked up and moved in the end of October. I'm now a stay at home mommy to sweet little Claire and I love it! We couldn't be more happy about the move and the change. Although we REALLY miss our family and friends, its been such a great experience for us to be here! We are loving the weather now, we'll see when the summer comes. Good thing we have a pool... that is where you will find me and Claire all summer. Can't wait!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we made the trek up to Salt Lake and did dinner with my family. Just like every other year, we ate way too much but had a lot of fun. And of course, we did the Black Friday thing again as well. We shopped from 10 PM Thanksgiving night until 6 AM the next morning.Although we did wait in line for Target outside for 2 hours, luckily some of the waiting was inside at other places because it was COLD! I think everyone got everything they went for and then some! It's such a fun tradition that I look forward to all year. It's so crazy, but so fun. Claire stayed home with dad this year and slept, I don't think she would have enjoyed it and it gave Jacob a reason to not have to come :) Shopping isn't his favorite at a reasonable hour, let alone at 2 AM. Claire's first Thanksgiving consisted of rice cereal, maybe next year she will be able to dive into the goods. We had such a fun time, thanks to everyone who was there! Jacob left early to go to the Henry Mountains with his brothers so I was able to stay a few more days and play with the family.


As you can see, Claire is getting HUGE!




She is coming up on 6 months and is getting SO big and cuter everyday! I'm loving this stage. She is much more interactive and full of funny expressions. Crazy how time flies...
