Ballet, Temple, Party... Oh My!

So, for my birthday Tim surprised me with tickets to the Nutcracker! (I know, I have the best husband!!!) Since my birthday is in December, and I love the ballet (really I love any type of dance) my Mom would take me to see it. I guess I mentioned this tradition to Tim and he ran with it. I loved every second of the ballet! The music, the costumes, the dancing and of course the company ;) It was a great birthday!

Then on Saturday morning we went to the temple and took Lacey with us. Tim and I worked shifts of babysitting. While I was in the temple Tim watched her then visa versa. I love the temple and I'm glad we went.

And Lacey, well, Lacey loves the temple grass!

That night we had our Ward/Church Christmas Party and Santa stopped by! They say a picture is worth 1,000 words...

Christmastime with Lacey

So, I decided to share some holiday cheer...

with pictures of Lacey!

This picture was taken underneath the Christmas tree. She loves to eat the needles! I have to watch her like a hawk. I don't think eating enough needles to furnish an entire tree is healthy, right?

Tim was decorating the tree and I turned my back for a second and turned back to see this! Maybe she was just trying to help Daddy decorate :)

Here she having fun with my Christmas ribbon. Too cute!

Clearly, Lacey doesn't want to wait til Christmas morning to open presents. She gets that from me... I always thought it was too long to wait also!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Tag... I'm it!

First off, I know that I'm suppose to list 6 quirks that I have and I'm sure I have way more than 6, but I can only think of 2. I'm sorry Jac, I just can't think of anymore, but when I do I'll be sure to post them!

1. I LOVE cereal (this love affair served me well on my mission) ! Among my favorite kinds is Lucky Charms or the Target brand Marshmallow Mateys. Anyway, I always eat the oat pieces first and save all of the marshmallows to eat last. Then I get 2 or 3 spoonfuls of marshmallow goodness! Mmmmmmm!

2. When I fall asleep I will always rub my feet on something, whether it be the blanket, the mattress or my other foot. Weird I know.

I'll have to ask Tim what quirks he's noticed, but that's all for now :)
