Happy Easter!

Grandma has an Easter Egg Hunt every year. Taysia was very serious, but had a lot of fun hunting for eggs with Daddy. I was surprised how quickly she picked up on the concept of gathering eggs. It was too cold for a pretty Easter dress, but Taysia quite enjoyed it anyway!

Thanksgiving

This year we were able to have Thanksgiving dinner with both families and it was nice. We have so much to be thankful for!

Daddy's Girl

Daddy dressed Taysia today. I thought it was so sweet that Scott picked out that outfit because it said "Daddy’s Little Girl" on the front. Nope. He said he picked it out because it was Utah Jazz colors.

Just did a video/slideshow of us. Check it out!

Breakfast at McDonald's

We have a lot of family traditions, and there were a couple more traditions we did today. My Mom’s family has a holiday tradition of going to McDonald’s for breakfast the day after Christmas. (Above) Scott and Jen at McDonald’s.

Celebrating Christmas with Scott's Family

Another thing we do every year is have Christmas brunch with Scott’s family. We usually have it the Saturday before Christmas, but this year it just worked out to be today. I always love this celebration with Scott’s family. We just relax the entire day, and since we don’t do it on Christmas Day we don’t have to rush off to another family celebration - we can take our time and do whatever we want. :)

Home for Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! Hope you did, too! Here are a few photos.

The Utah Jazz

Once in a while we get the chance to go to a Jazz basketball game, usually thanks to my aunt and uncle who have season tickets. We always have a good time! Tonight we got to go with Scott’s sister and her husband (below).

Agree to Disagree

Generally Scott and I have similar opinions when it comes to a lot of things. But there is one thing we cannot agree on: who to root for every fall in the BYU vs. Utah football game. My family are big BYU fans, and I grew up going to football games and even attending college there. One year while living in Provo, Utah, I even camped out all night with friends to get season tickets to the BYU football games. Aaaaw, those were beautiful times.

However, I married a Utah fan. And despite our yearly "disagreement," I still love him. And he’s mostly a good sport about going to my parents’ house for football parties, no matter who wins. Utah won this year :( . We’ll see what happens next year!

Birthday Boy

Celebrating Scott's birthday at my parents' house.

We have grass!

We finally have grass in our front yard. The sod was delivered yesterday and Scott has been laying it all day (and doing a nice job, too).

Another Year . . .

Celebrating my birthday.
