Christmas

We ended Christmas day at my parents house with the whole family.

the only person that was missing this year was my niece Clara because of the flu.

Christmas has always been so much fun at my parents and every year the family gets

bigger and bigger. This is all of us trying to fit into the front room, mind you this is only my brother and sisters families no extended family. Nice and cozy

Audrey, Amanda and baby Ella

This picture means a lot to us and T.J.'s family.

There are five generations on his mom's side.

Grandma & Grandpa Winegar (Grandpa not shone)

Grandpa Tom, Grandma Kim, T.J. and Olivia.

Olivia recieved a pony from Grandpa Tom and Grandma Alice Kaye,

she actually really liked riding on it. She does a great job of sitting by herself, she only needs someone to hold her hands

T.J. and Josh with their hair hats. It was so funny to see them with these on.

The picture doesn't do it justice

Olivia opening her first christmas present

Christmas Eve was spent with T.J.'s family at our house.

We had a great dinner and talked about the Nativity Story and then opened some fun

presents. As you can tell from these photos it was a pretty low key night, which was great for us

just some relaxing and hanging out.

December fun

This past month has been really busy for us as it has for everyone and so I haven't had very much time to post. On T.J.'s side we had the annual Winegar Christmas Party! This was Olivia's first time sitting on Santa's lap and she wasn't really sure what to think about it. We had lots of fun and food that night, thanks to the Winegar family for putting it all together.

Here we are as a family with Santa

On December 19Th Abby and Jonathan were married in the Ogden Temple.

The weather wasn't the best at the temple but Abby looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. It was so weird to have my little sister get married, she was the last one out of all of us.

After the temple we headed to the lunch and had some yummy food.

The newlyweds

Olivia was exhausted
My dad did a wonderful job with his solo he sang, he has an amazing voice!

With all the chaos and preparation, I wasn't able to get any pictures of the wedding reception.

It looked so good and elegant.

The Winner Is!

I just have to say wahoooooooooooo! Michelle won the Biggest Losser! I'm so happy that Vicky and her husband didn't win anything, the only down was that Heba won the hundred grand by FOUR pounds! I was so excited for Amy, I wish she would have won instead of Heba. Everyone looked really good and I think that it is really amazing to see these people change their lives. Can't wait until January 6th when the new season starts.

Cousins

The past few weeks we have spent almost everyday with my sister Audrey and her cute twins Emmie and Ella. We love spending time with them. They have already changed so much since they have been here. We can't get a lot done when it's just Audrey and I with three babies but we still have fun. So Audrey's babies are on a really good schedule and of course Olivia is not so when we do try to do stuff like take pictures it is kind of hard. There is always one baby that is tired, unhappy, poopy, has spit up on them (that one is mostly Olivia, hence her wet shirt in the picture) or hungry. It is a lot of work to have two babies to yourself, it takes twice as long to feed them, dress them, and get them in the car. So I have to tell Audrey that she is a great mom and she does such a great job with her babies. Well anyways we have tried to take pictures of the twins a few times and they haven't always turned out but finally the other day we got a few of the twins and a picture of all three of them and yes this is the only picture that they were all looking and were happy.

FOUR MONTH CHECKUP

Olivia had her four month checkup last week and I can't believe she is that old already! She is doing great says the doctor, her weight is 12.8 lbs. which puts her in the 25% and her height is 24.25 in. which is the 65% and last but not least is her head 15cm which is only in the 3%. She has grown in so many ways in the last few months, her personality is really starting to blossom. She has started to babel a ton more especially when she is laying down, I have no idea why but that seems to be her most talkative time. She is now grabbing at things and she looks at them with lots of curiosity. She smiles at everyone all the time, we call her a Courtesy smiler because she smiles at anyone even when she is crying. She is always happy unless she is hungry or tired. Olivia is quite the strong little baby, she tries while lying down to sit up and she loves to stand. She rolls from her stomach to back but not quite the other way. She is such a sweet little baby that we love so much and every moment is wonderful. She has already changed in a few months which makes me sad but at the same time very excited about all the new things she will learn and do.

Biggest Loser Fans

For all those that sit down and watch the biggest loser every week I want to hear what you have to say. I'm a very big fan of the show and I'm amazed at the weight the contestants lose. This season has really gotten to me and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. I'll give my two cents about it if anyone wants to hear it.
First of all I was so upset when Amy and Phil went home, I loved them and they were great people. Second thing I can not stand the blue team!!! Why the heck would you vote by colors and not by threat? So if you follow the show then you'll know who ViCkY is, I can't say much about her because it wouldn't be very nice. Man she doesn't know when to stop with the rude remarks and game playing.She has been so rude to everyone and she doesn't care what she says or does to win. Then there is HEbA and Ed the married couple, I can't stand them either. So anyways the next episode said something about America voting for the third person in the finale and for those that are cheering for Michelle you need to vote!
