Great Grandma Belnap

We love you grandma. Enjoy your reunion with grandpa.

So glad we got to spend Christmas with you. 

She had 8 children, 45 grandchildren, 143 great grandchilden and 1 great great grandson. Glad to be a part of such a big family. So happy families can be together forever. 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Browns! 

This year I decided to make matching pajamas for Christmas. I think they turned out well. I haven't decided if it's going to be a tradition yet. I guess we will have to see. 

Lights on Temple Square

While we were in Utah last weekend, we also saw the lights. It was so pretty and a great way to remember the reason for the season with the different nativities. It was fun to see them with my family. It rained a little but nothing too bad. Owen stayed bundled and slept but I'm sure he would have enjoyed them even more than our Christmas tree, which he stares out all the time.

Forever Families

Last weekend my aunt and uncle got sealed in the Draper, Utah temple. I am so grateful for temples and the priesthood. It was beautiful and I'm glad that I was able to attend. Families are so important to me and it helped me remember the same covenants I made when Andrew and I got married and sealed. We are so blessed to be able to be with our families for time AND all eternity. 

My grandpa and grandma were at the reception so it was fun to see them. It had been about 4 years since I last saw them. They were excited to see and meet Owen.

O Holy Night

My mother-in-law gave me the board and vinyl for this craft. It was so easy and I really like how it turned out. It's a little bit different for a nativity but it's nice to not have a ton of pieces to have to keep track of. 

All you need is a board, the vinyl, paint and a paint brush. I chose a dark blue so it was like a night. My mother-in-law used black so you really can pick what ever color you want. 

Paint the board. Make sure it is all the way dry before you do the next step. 

Press the vinyl onto the board and peel off the back. I used the end of the paint brush to make sure it will stick and not rip. 

Sleep

Last night Owen slept for 6 and a half hours in a row! I fed him and he is sleeping again. Now the only problem is that I'm not sleeping. At least I get stay in bed.
