baby. new quilt. father "louis" christmas. utah trip.

right before i left for utah last week, philips called me in to be an OB model again. the baby slept the entire time again, and snuggled up in my tummy again. however, the baby seemed a lot bigger this time around and the features were more defined.

do the pictures look like a "boy" or a "girl"? i cannot tell. but i LOVE the chubby pursed lips.

i finished my second quilt! this is my new
christmas quilt. i
didnt follow a pattern, i just had the idea in my head and ran with it.

this quilt is significantly smaller than my
halloween one but just as comfy!

those little circles are called yo-
yos. i had to make each one and then hand-applique them to the white squares. it was incredibly time consuming!

i started wrapping some presents tonight. i went downstairs to take cookies out of the oven and when i came back upstairs i had a new little elf helping me out.

he adores ribbons and bows. it is his feminine side.

i just got back from a great trip in
utah. my mom and i went for the weekend, and we had a ton of fun. this is my grandma and me dipping into our chocolate-peanut butter shake.

one of our favorite places to eat in
provo is the
italian place. they serve yummy steak sandwiches. we make sure to drop in
every time we are in town.

one morning, i went downstairs and found my mom looking like this. i thought she had burned herself with my flat iron, but was in too much shock from the third degree burns to know what had happened. it turned out that she had gotten into my makeup and got a little excited about my blush.

people watching at the
byu bookstore. we bought ourselves some bookstore fudge and snacked on it while watching the coming and goings of the busy lunch hour. bless our little traditions.

this was at the
provo malt shop, before i knew what was about to happen........

on our way up to
SLC, we ran into this! a HUGE snow storm. needless to say, we had to cancel our shopping plans and just head back to my grandma's house. at first, we were a little bummed about the change of plans, but we ended up spending the evening wrapping presents and baking goodies. it was so relaxing! i had a great time spending time with my mom and grandparents. i cherish these memories, especially because i know how busy my life is about to get!
