It's Santa!!!

At our ward christmas party, Teigen got to see Santa for the very first time. This is Teigen's expression most of the time, so he could have been happy.

My sister...

Today, I'm very emotional. I have a lot on my mind. The strongest emotion I have on my mind though, is my sister. I don't know what it's like to lose a child and hope I never do.

My sister is an amazing woman. She is so strong and can overcome anything. She's great at putting a smile on her face everyday even when she wants to cry. She's there for her family and puts them first. I know she's hurting on the inside and hope those around her are comforting her and doing anything they can to help her through this hard time.

Evan was such an amazing little boy and he has great parents-Angela and Jim. He lit up a room when he walked in with his big cheesy smile and bubbly personality. He always wanted to make people laugh.

I wish I could live closer to my sister so I could hug her everyday and do anything she needed me to, to make it easier for her. My sister is the best one in the whole world. I am so glad that we're not only family, but best friends. I love her so much and am so sorry for her loss. It hurts me to know that my sister is hurting and I can't take the pain away.

Thank you Angela for being such a great example for me. I love you!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Here's the front of our house today and you can see the snow. It's not very much, but it's still snow!

Here's the backyard

Memories of Thanksgiving.....

Ok, I know it's been a few weeks, but I don't think it's too late to put the pictures up from Thanksgiving. We had a great time.

Here's the 11 cousins in their matching monkey pj's

Teigen loves swinging

Teigen was so sleep deprived that he crashed out a minute after being on the swing.

Poor little guy.

The kids would throw sticky lizards on the ceiling, and make susu lift them up to get them down.

(We do Christmas at Thanksgiving since we're all together) The kids waiting to open presents. Apparently William is done waiting.

Teigen's first hair cut...

So, while we were in farmington,NM and all of Justin's side of the family were together for Thanksgiving, Amy gave Teigen his first hair cut! He did so well. He did squirm a lot though, and Daddy was done holding him down, as you can see... haha.
