December ALREADY???

Holy Cow! I can't believe it is already December! Where did the year go???

It just hit me today that I haven't finished my Christmas Shopping, I haven't gotten pictures done for our Christmas Cards, needless to say I haven't done our Christmas cards, or wrote our annual letter.....and I need to get all this out, like YESTERDAY!

So just a quick update (sorry no pictures or videos on this one....takes too long to load!)

Lexi and I got to take a quick trip to Utah to visit my side of the family.  She had so much fun playing with her cousins, aunts and uncles!  We ate good food....Spaghetti Factory, Rubios, and IN-N-OUT...YUM! Places that don't exist in San Antonio, so I have to travel to eat at some of my favorite places =)  While I was there I got my hair cut, lots of girls nights, BUNCO, and an early Thanksgiving.  But my favorite day was going to the Provo Temple with my family.  It was the first time that I got to go to the Temple and be with all my siblings and my Mom, and my Grandparents.  What an amazing day!  It was a peek of what Heaven truely is, and the only person that was missing was my Hubby. 

One night while we did a girls night, my brother-in-law, Jared, watched Lexi for me.....he must have been LOTS of fun, because he is now known as "Uncle Awesome" and she asks for him everyday!  I am so glad that she knows her family loves her even though she is so far away, AND that they take the time during our visits to make sure she knows it. We have an "awesome" family! haha

When we got back from our trip I only had a couple days to get everything together, and then my Father-in-Law and brother-in-law came for Thanksgiving week.  We had lots of fun, and Lexi absolutely adores her Uncle Andy!  He was so cute with her, and she just laughed and loved him all week.  We had a great Thanksgiving dinner, and I truely enjoyed having our family here.  Hopefully someday we won't live quite so far away so these trips can become more frequent!

So Christmas is about 3 weeks away, and I have way too much to do still!  But for now I am absolutely exhausted, and will write more, with pictures and all the good stuff later :)
