Happy 1st Birthday Evan!!
I can't believe it's been a whole year since this!! Little Evan turned one year old on the 9th. He's brought so much joy into our lives and we love him so much! We had a nice birthday bash for him, even though he wasn't aware it was all for him!

My happy place
I've been meaning to do this post for a while. You know those days when you get really stressed or frazzled? And your mind just automatically goes to your happy place? The place where you have great memories and experiences, and you wish you could teleport yourself there for a few minutes a day? This is my happy place.
It's my Grandpa's house. Nothing but good happens here. It's in the country, it's quiet and peaceful. When I go here I am happy. The leaves on the trees make the most beautiful rustling sound when the wind blows. When I was little, I used to sleepover here, and in the morning you can hear the train go by. We always eat the best food here, and have the best conversations. (Plus, Santa always stops by on Christmas Eve!) We lost Grandma 7 years ago this June, and it hasn't quite been the same, but Grandpa is still going strong, and the house is as warm and inviting as ever. I'm so glad I have grandparents that truly lived up to the word "grandparents". You know, the kind that always have cookies and ice cream available at a moments notice? The ones that always had the good cereal that my parents would never buy? The ones that always came to Grandparents Day in elementary school? Those are those grandparents I have, and I love them.

Random fun
January pretty much sucks, so we've been trying to keep busy playing inside
Went to the Living Planet Aquarium; the stingrays were strangely active
The penguins were awesome!!
Nothing like having your sister come and make Sunday dinner
(don't know why that is in bold. Blogger is wonky)
Evan fell in love with his reflection...
and enjoyed some snuggle time
Thomas the Tank Engine rules at our house!
They grow up so fast :(
Went to the Treehouse (they both LOVE the firetruck)

10 months old!
Evan is 10 months old! Hard to believe he's almost a year old. Where has the time gone?!
Stats:
24 pounds
29 inches long
18.5 head circumference
85% weight 90% height
I'm embarrassed to say that he is just barely sleeping through the night! I finally just let him cry it out, and, well, it worked. (Why didn't I do this 6 months ago?!)

Merry Merry Christmas
Once again we had a very Merry Christmas. I think we enjoyed watching the boys more than anything. Deacon still didn’t get the whole Christmas concept, but we’re working on it!
We enjoyed dinner at the Riverwoods after seeing the Carl Bloch art exhibit at BYU on the eve of Christmas Eve
Can’t wait till summer so it can go outside
We’ve replaced the batteries on the cars 3 times already!!
So glad my brother and his wife were able to visit from D.C.!
See the little baby boy on the left? That’s my stepsister’s son. He died unexpectedly 3 days after Christmas. We are heartbroken :(
Pretty sure he loves the gift!
Me and my siblings
Obligatory Santa shot
My dad got the best picture of us with his camera, so I asked him to get one with mine…..and this is what we got
My Uncle Kevin definitely won the ugly sweater contest!
My dad being his usual self
My grandpa has the original chatter phone, and Deacon loves it! Luckily Target is on the ball :)
Evan loves whatever this thing is
Hope everyone had a good holiday!
