Christmas 2011


Christmas was pretty crazy this year! All through December Tenley was still waking up 5-6 times a night, we put our house on the market, and everyone in our family kept getting sick. It's all a bit of a blur to me so I'm glad I took a lot of pictures! With everything that was going on we still managed to slow down a bit and have a pretty amazing Christmas!

Enchanted Snow Fall at La Encantada. We first went to this about 3 years ago and it's been a tradition for us ever since!




We went to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa and then went to the courtyard and anxiously waited for the snow to fall.


Our itty bitty Tenley was only 6 weeks old and LOVED to be snuggled in the baby bjorn everywhere we went.



We had fun at this cutie girl's birthday party at Peter Piper Pizza! Cousin Maya turned 5!

Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple. It was freezing that night which made the trip feel so much more Christmasy! We all felt like we needed beanies, gloves, and scarves. I know...we are wimps! You would never guess that we spent 4 winters in Utah and Quint spent 2 winters in Siberia! :) Anyway, we didn't come thinking it would be that cold in Mesa so we stopped and got some hot chocolate on the way to keep us warm while we walked the grounds. It was a beautiful, peaceful evening.





Tristan's winter concert at school. The songs were so cute and original. Tristan practiced hard to memorize them and it was a lot of fun watching him sing that night.


Ward Christmas party! Tristan got to dress up as a shepherd while the primary children sang Christmas songs for everyone.
Tenley met Santa at the party! (My Dad) :)


Melissa and Kelly came over excited to meet Tenley.
Lamoreaux Christmas Party!

And to top off the wonderful season, Tenley was blessed on New Year's Day by her daddy. It was a special, perfect day. :)
