Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!

Mike's Birthday was on Wednesday & since we don't have any family real close we enjoyed a nice, quiet, fun & relaxing day together for Mike's birthday. We started the morning with some Yummy Breakfast, opened presents, then relaxed, shopped, enjoyed a scrumptious lunch at Zupas, went ice skating then ate some Amazing Cheesecake made & decorated by a famous Baker in town....well I wish but I did try my best :)

Love you babe!!! I hope you Enjoyed Your Birthday as Much as I did!!

And just because I want to remember this funny story. I got in Mike's phone & got a bunch of his friend's numbers and texted them to call or text Mike Happy Birthday. Well quickly Mike started getting a bunch of text. Well we had our phones by each other (and we have the EXACT same phone) and a text message came. I assumed it was Mike's phone I opened it up and sayed "Look Honey, let's see who texted you!" Well, the text was from his friend but when we opened it up it said..."Thanks Traci for the reminder, I'll be sure to call him." Sure enough "the other phone" started ringing & it was him. It was pretty funny. Obviously he knew that I must of told everyone but still I didn't think I was going to be the one to give it away...haha!!

This year for Thanksgiving we went to St George & spent it with my family. It was great because my brother & his fam were able to come up too this year so we had a great time with almost everyone there...(Jennie definately next year) I love spending the Holidays with family & I am glad that we live close enough that we can be with family for the Holidays. Here are some pics of my fam...but WARNING - you will experience some Traci Overload in the pics :(

Of course my mom went overload & we had a Spectacular Thanksgiving Dinner!! And luckily due to all the leftovers we were able to experience it...again & again & again :) Love ya Mom!! Delicious as usual

Another Joy of Thanksgiving is the Day after Thanksgiving Shopping! Not that Mike and I had much to buy this year we still had to wake up @ 3 in the morning with my Mom so we could be sure to enjoy the Craziness of it all!! Then of course we spent way to much, but afterwards we met up with Amber and Josh & went to Breakfast so we could get that extra needed energy before passing out of hunger & fatigue

It was also Amber & Josh's 5 year anniversary. So how do they feel about being married for 5 years?? I think this pic explains it all

And because it never ceases to amaze me my mom closes her eyes in EVERY pic we take of her. You may only have seen the ones with her eyes open on my blog but that was after 5 tries of getting the same pic w/ her eyes open. haha!! love ya mom!

To also help Amber & Josh celebrate their anniversay we endured New Moon yet a 2nd time. Ok well it was MIke's first & although you are probably thinking that Amber talked Josh into going to the movie it was indeed Josh who did the talking into. He loves these movies & was dieing to see it. So happily I joined & luckily Mike enjoyed himself as well (although we were still sporting the bed head from waking up so early that morning)

On Saturday we had a "Girl's Day" and went to Santa's Workshop Craft Fair

We always find way to much to buy, for instance...These Cute Accessories!! Amber got this really cute hat & my mom & I got these cute headbands. But I am sad to admit that I think they look better on my mom than me :( O'well Mom way to Spice things up!!

Then that night we made our Traditional Christmas Crafts & Look at How Cute they Turned Out!! I think we're getting pretty good at this ;)

On Sunday we laughed, cried, giggled, & sang as we all went our seperate ways. Ok, maybe that didn't quite happen but I was sad to go. (mostly because that meant going to work the next day) but I really had a Great Thanksgiving!! Thanks Mom & Dad for the Warm Welcoming & to all the rest of the fam. It's always good to see you!!!

Girls Weekend & Mom's Birthday

Last year my sis & mom came up and we went and saw Twilight together & celebrated my Mom's birthday. Well, luckily we were able to do it again this year for New Moon& I think we have officialy started our own little "Girl's Weekend", although we did miss my Sister Jennie! Definately next time.

To start things off we made some bead watches & officially became the "Watch Sisters". Grandma has been staying with me too while my Grandpa has been at the Hospital so she was able to join us!! We loved having you there Grandma :)

Then we sang Happy Birthday to Mom & enjoyed some YUMMY Ice Cream cake that Grandma got (well...she made Mike get it but she did pay)

Then on Sat we went to Gardner Village to go Shopping & took some of our goofy pics (this one is too true)

Mistle Toe...Yet no one to kiss :(

Enjoyed a Yummy Lunch

Then it was off to the MUCH aniticipated Movie! And since my mom is such a Die Hard Fan she HAD to buy the fun candy bars they were selling at the theater & I enjoyed the "Team Jacob" which was Warm Raspberry & Mom got "Team Edward" which was Cool Mint

The Movie Rocked!! Loved all of it & I think I offically became a Team Jacob fan for a Wee Bit!!! Definately can't wait til the Next one!!

Girls I had SOO MUCH FUN!! I'm so glad you came & Mom I hope you had a Great Birthday!!!
