HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I've been meaning to update our blog for a while now, I know it is time to have something other than Twilight posted!!! We had such a great Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year!!! I was going to post about our Thanksgiving but I didn't take any pictures!!! We were in AZ for Thanksgiving and New Year's. It's always nice to go back home to AZ and visit with family and friends. We had such a nice time when we were in AZ. We spent Christmas at our house in UT and my dad, step mom and sister came to spend Christmas with us. We had a great few days with them!!! It was so fun to have them here and kind of exciting to actually be in our own house for Christmas!!! I think we've always been at family's homes for Christmas so it was different for us to be in our own home, but nice!!! We had a few snow storms the week of Christmas so we definitely had a white Christmas. Spencer's sister and her family came over for dinner the Sunday before Christmas and the kids put on a little Nativity. Below are our nieces and nephews and Bailey and SWBy. Bailey was so excited she got to be Mary!!! She was a good Mary too, very protective of Baby Jesus (which was a doll). SWBy was a Shepard and he kept trying pull baby Jesus out of the manger, which drove Bailey crazy!!!
Grandpa Crabtree and SWBy.


Grandma Jo and SWBy. SWBy was getting ready to go outside with us.
Bailey finally got to make a real snow angel. She's been practicing for months on our carpet!!!

Bailey and Aunt Sami sledding. Grandpa bought a sled for Bailey. It was so fun!!!
SWBy. He gets into everything now!!! So much different than his sister was. Every time he finds something new to get into and drag around the house he just smiles!!!
Spencer's sister Lanae makes Christmas PJ's for the nieces and nephews every year and here are this year's. So cute!!! The kids love them!!!
(I know I am looking so attractive in this picture!!! ;o)) Spencer's brothers Brian and Evan bought SWBy and Bailey ASU outfits and boy do we love them. Okay so SWBy wasn't as excited as Bailey was! Bailey would wear her outfit every day if I let her. She wore her cheer outfit to the movies with my mom!!!
After Bailey put her outfit on she kept saying, "Go ASU Cheerleaders, woo!"
Spencer got to go to the ASU basketball game with his family. Here they all are!!!

Stephanie I can't believe how big Bailey has gotten she is so cute and little Spencer is adorable. How is Utah? Keep in touch. Mesa is great and warm and NO snow.

I love the new picture of your family. You all look soo great.

We were bummed we didn't get to all get together while you were here. Maybe next time. Atleast Ian and Spence got to go to lunch.

And once again, what cutie kids you have.

I am amazed every time I see little Bailey....wasn't it just yesterday you were pregnant with her? Your family is so beautiful...I saw on Krazy Sub's window the other day that it was Ned's birthday and it reminded me of his sweet kid's who I miss so much....HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU...xoxoxox

Hey Steph,
It looks like you are doing well. We are surviving. And yes little Matty has red hair. I guess I had to have one of each. Bailey is adorable in her cheer outfit and SWBy is getting so big. Sorry we missed you around the holidays. Hope to see you next time you are down.
