Fall 2012

Well, here we are, about to end November and head into one of my favorite months. Despite the fact that I hate cold weather and snow, there is something about December that makes me feel so cozy and warm. I love wearing warm, comfy clothes, snuggled under a blanket, sipping some hot chocolate. Now that we have our Christmas decorations up, I'm sure we will spend some time sitting in the light of the tree, listening to Christmas music (one of my favorite traditions). 

We got our Christmas stuff out last Saturday. 
It took a few hours, and almost a whole cheese ball!

 But.... Let's rewind a little...

Back before Halloween, Taylor and Katie invited us to a Utes game. Despite the cold, we had a good time at a great game, even though football is not my sport ;)

While at the game, Katie and I decided that we wanted to carve pumpkins. So, we made plans for the next Monday to get it done! In the years I've known Levi, he has never carved a pumpkin, so I knew I needed to be creative in order to get him to participate. I'm pretty sure I found a carving that was right up his alley:

Despite our best efforts to support Romney, we all know what happened a few weeks later. 

We also had the opportunity to head out to Wendover to see Sawyer Brown again. We've been going out every year for the past few years now, and even though the show never changes, I still love it. Their music is classic, and they put on a great show! We even got to meet the band before the show.
Here we are with Mark, the lead singer

and with Hobbie, the pianist.

Let's end with another comparison of Malone''s growth: 
5 Months

7 Months...looks like he's crushing Levi!
...I sure love that dog!

Election Day

It's Election Day! I am so anxious and excited and nervous for the results. Levi has been saying he is nervous for days, and  I woke up pretty nervous this morning.
 
Before Levi left for work this morning, I had to get a picture of him. He ordered this shirt a while ago, and it came last night, right in time. I hope it helps bring some luck!
We believe in you, Mitt, and we believe in America!!!
