We had such a great Christmas! We normally have a big ugly sweater party at our house with all of our friends but this year we didn't end up doing one, hopefully next year we can continue that tradition. But we did do a small dinner with a few friends at our house. It was a lot of fun, unfortunately I didn't get a lot of pictures.

One of my best friends Allie was in town with her new baby Madden. It was so great to hang out with her and meet little Madden. They are only a month apart!

At the end of November we went and visited my great- grandma Soffe. And I am so glad that we did. A few weeks later she was taken to the hospital because she couldn't breathe, then she was on oxygen in a rehab center. And she passed away on January 8th. I am so grateful that I followed the promptings of the spirit and went and saw her. This will be a picture that I cherish.
On Christmas Adam, we went to my Grandma Rose's (Soffe) house. We had dinner, a nativity, and santa came! It was so great to spend time with my cousins and other extended family.

On Christmas Eve, we went to Nates parents house for soup and fun with the Messerly's.

On Christmas day we hung out at our house and opened presents. Nate got snowboarding stuff, a pass, a suit, and some ties. I got a kitchen-aid mixer (yay!), a gift card for clothes, a rolling pin (I have been using a cup since we got married), and a few other things. Then we went to my parents for breakfast, Waffles and whip cream! So yum! It was such a fun day!

For new years we just hung out at home. Brig had his first cold :( so we didn't want to take him anywhere. Sometimes I feel New Years is over-rated anyway and I was partied out from the christmas festivities :). 2012 has been great! We can't wait to see what this new year brings.
