Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

We had a busy December, but a great time as well.
Phoenix was GORGEOUS!  A little chilly, but so pretty. 


How wonderful is this Christmas tree?  We got a chance to stay with Reid's sister, Alyson.  Christmas morning is so different with kids.  We were woken up to Alyson and Will's little one exclaiming, "AAAAHHHHHHH MOM AND DAD - SANTA CAME!  Love it.

We had so much to celebrate over Christmas break - a new baby in the family, a marriage, birthdays and our Savior's birth.  It was a great trip

This was the view as we neared the airport in Chicago.  I suppose Illinois has some beauty too :)

New Year's Eve was full of fun, too!  We went to Wicker Park and ate brunch at The Bongo Room with some friends. 



They have a great menu and quite eclectic food.  I had an omelet with goat cheese, spinach, and butternut squash - A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.  



 Then off to Sprinkles for a little treat.  Very cute place.


Lastly, I've been inspired by so many creative friends and family and want to do more decorating for the holidays.  My anti-clutter attitude and inability to save things makes this difficult, but I love the feelings that come with celebrating.  Here's the latest project in progress..... They're going to be conversation hearts for Valentine's Day.
