I know, I know, but better late than never. In December we had a lot of celebrations, all together. We celebrated our 8th anniversary, and we also celebrated Alan's birthday, which is really in Nov. but we decided to wait. We also blessed Alexis, so we did it all on the same day. We don't have family close by, but we are blessed to have friends who care about us and our kids and drove from Logan, Riverton and Tooele to help us with the blessing and to celebrate Alan's birthday. This day started at around 6:00am. I decided to make Alans cake. Now I know why cakes cost so much. Althoug this cake is nothing compared to professional cakes. It took me about 3hrs. to decorate the thing. I'm just glad I baked it the night before. I had everything ready, or so I thought, then I looked for my icing colors and one was missing, so I had to run to Walmart at that time, just glad its opne 24hrs. After I finished it was time to get the food ready and packed and as always we got there late. And to make us look even worst our friends got there first and had to wait for us, so sorry. Any way, we blessed Alexis, Marco said she gave him a big smile when he was done. She looked so cute, and then we had some really good food and conversation with friends. Alan had a few friends over and he was so happy. Thank you veryone for coming. Having you here made it all even more special. Also Faye got her second hair cut. She had her first in the summer, but someone took both cameras to work and I had nothing to document the moment with. She looked so grown up in the chair and she did a really good job sitting still. We also celebrated Christmas, just the 5 of us, had to think and cound for a minute. I can't believe we have been here for a year already.
