Im so SpOiLeD.

On January 13th I turned the big 2-4, aka OLD. My family totally spoiled me and helped me celebrate this lovely age even though in just a couple more years and I will need a walker.... ha ha ok on to the pictures.

So first of you may notice that my hair is now blonde! I needed a change so bad! Mike sent me off to the salon for my birthday and told me I could do whatever I wanted. I got some blonde and carmel highlights and added some more layers- new hair .... ahhh it feels so good.

That night my parents took the family out to Brick Oven so I could stuff myself full of pasta- my favorite!

Me and Marci

Grandma and Ty (Oh how I love Ty's smile, the spaghetti sauce on his face just makes it that much better)

Me and Mike

Aspyn, Avery and Ty drew me great bday card/pictures for my birthday and Dakota made me this cake in her Easy Bake Oven. I have the cutest nieces and nephews ever!!

The birthday celebration continued on to the next day when Mikes side of the family took me out for dinner (more pasta woo hoo!) and then we came home to a huge chocolate cake and Cold Stone cupcakes another one of my favorites! (Geeze just look at all those candles, when did I get this old!?!?)

I had to throw this shot in here.

Yes, that would be my husband, in a flanel shirt, with a tooth pick and a moustache, lighting my birthday cake with a blow torch....

That took a lot of wind power

The next night Mike took me out to one last birthday dinner at my favorite place ever, Ghidottis in Park City. It was amazing as usual. After dinner we went to Cows ice cream in Park City for dessert. (Notice the very cute headband I am wearing, it was a bday present from Marci :) )

All my birthday treasures, I told you I was spoiled! And YES that is a perfect brownie pan, now you know where to come when you want a perfectly square brownie :)

Thank you everyone for making my birthday so special! I love you all so very much!!!

DECEMBER

Woo Hoo for brand new Christmas PJs!

We had a great 2009 and are so excited to see what 2010 brings! (Although I am sorry to say its not bringing any grandchildren, Moms and Dads Farrer & Liechty sorry....) We are so grateful for our wonderful family and friends thank you for all you do for us.

Our Christmas- its about time!!!!!!!!!!

Heres a quick look at how our Christmas went this year - the computer finally decided it would let me post a few pictures...

Every year my side of the family goes to Thanksgiving Point and goes on a wagon ride through the Christmas lights in the -40 degree weather.





My mom bought everyone headbands to try and protect us from the cold, I dont think it worked much but we still had a blast!



Every year on Christmas Eve, my side of the family gets together and eats a ton of junk food, (props to Marci aka Martha Stewart for making the best fudge, peanut butter bars and sugar cookies EVER!) and watches a christmas movie- usually a Christmas Story, until the kids get to wound up from all the sugar and its time to put them in bed before Santa comes...






Then we head over to Mikes side of the family for Christmas Eve where we get to open one present which is always new pj's (MY FAVORITE! I could live in PJS) and play games- this year it was Wii Fit, until we are too tired and decide we should go to bed so Santa can come.


Mikes pjs had little Tanks all over them :)





On Christmas morning we got up super early and opened our presents from Santa and the family. Mike got me some musicals- bless him :)



I gave Mike some new camo pants for hunting- which he didnt take off for the rest of the morning lol.



Do we look tired???

We went over to my parents house and opened more presents and played with my nieces and nephews and celebrated Shaes birthday.











We had a great Christmas- we still cant believe we have been married 1 year and half, the time has flown by!!
