The month of December in a nutshell

The first week of December my family drove down for a short visit which was soooo fun! All the boys went to a Dallas Cowboys/ AZ Cardinals game while the girls went shopping. It was really fun having them down, especially since the weather was absolutely beautiful... We definitely made the most of their visit and Joel really hooked us up... tickets to a Suns game as well as the Phooson in Phoenix concert. This concert was like the concert of all concerts, with a huge variety of artist it was very fun! Selena Gomez, Flo Rida, One Republic, Karmin, Nicole Scherzinger, Gym Class Heroes and Taio Cruz just to name a few. This concert was literally like 3 1/2 hours... we were exhausted but it was so fun!


This year, Joel and I celebrated our first Christmas 'alone' together! I have to admit it just wasn't the same. We both missed our families and it just didn't feel all that much like Christmas. We made the most of it though.

I had so much fun decorating. As Joel would say...
 "It looks like Christmas threw up in here!"
Christmas morning we skyped with my parents which was really fun. Then Christmas afternoon we went over to Joel's brother house for presents and a white elephant gift exchange. It was very fun! Sorry no pictures. I'll just leave you with these cute little Grinches :) Merry Christmas 2011!
