Christmas 2011

We had such an amazing Christmas. It was a crazy day as usual but it was so much fun. We had 2 Christmas Parties this year. The Sperry's didn't have one. I was really disappointed. Its always fun to see all of Britt's cousin's that we don't see always. But the first party we had was the Nuzman party. It was so much fun. We have started a new tradition last year called "Grandma Nuzzy" gifts. Every family gives everyone a little gift. If it so much fun. My mom did it when she was younger and her Grandma Nuzzy would give everyone little random gifts. It isn't the exact way my mom did it but it is pretty close.

The second party was the Healey party on Dec 23. It is something I have done my entire life. My dad's Grandma Healey use to do it and when she stopped doing it my Grandma Colleen took over doing it. We missed it last year so this year was Beckham's first year going. He loved all of my cousins. He isn't use to having other kids around to play with, so when Zach, Kobe, Tanner, and the rest of the cousin's got there was ecstatic. He visited with Santa. He was darling. It was a good party. My favorite cousin K.C. (Kerri), her dad (Uncle Mike), and her boyfriend came down for the party. I was so glad I got to see K.C. I havent seen her since my wedding and she is so darling and I just love her. I wish we lived closer. I am so glad she finally got to meet Beckham. I cant wait to tell Beckham of mine and K.C.'s fun memories growing up.


Christmas eve we spent it with my family at my Grandma Louise's. It was a lot of fun. We had a good dinner, played White Elephant, and visited. It was a good time.

Beckham was very spoiled by mom & dad, Santa, Gpa W & Gma M, Shay & Ty, Gma C & Gpa P, Gma J & Gpa T, Gma L & Gpa M, and so many others. A few things he got where

- more more and more

Meeting Santa

We took Beckham to meet Santa last night. He was so cute and loved it. He was not scared. He was not nervous. All he wanted to do was get on his lap and talk. It was the cutest thing ever and we got a very cute picture.


After we went and met Santa we went to Riverwoods to see the lights. I didn't get any pictures but it was well worth the cold and being tired. It was amazing. It gives temple square a run for there money! It was so cool. Everyone should definitely go see it!

Festival of Trees/ U of U Hockey Game

A few weekends ago we went to the Festival of Tree's with Kim, Forrest, Brad & Jade. It was a lot of fun. There was only one tree that I was really impressed with and that was the UP tree. The rest were just kind of mediocre and not impressive. But it was a lot of fun. After the Festival of the Tree's we went to Iggy's and we sat by a total Jersey Shore table. It was full of meatballs and Gorilla Juice Heads. They were so entertaining. Beckham could not stop staring and they loved Beckham. It was a lot of fun. After we ate we went to a U of U Hockey game with Forrest's sister. It was a lot of fun. Beckham loved it but was just to tired to watch the whole game and fell asleep. It was a lot of fun to get out and do something different for a change.

Thanksgiving

We had such an amazing Thanksgiving. This year we were at Marsha & Waynes. It was such a great day and so relaxing. After we got done eating Beckham and Britt went outside and kicked a ball around. It was so cute. After we hung out at the Sperry's for awhile we went to my Grandma Louises and seen my parents. It was such a great day. Thanksgiving weekend I was at a boutique in Spanish Fork. It was a lot of fun. Friday night we went to the light parade with Kim & Forrest. It was a lot of fun. Beckham loved it! He kept saying WOW! every time a float went by!

Christmas Pictures

Shane is absolutely amazing. They turned out so good. I love them.

Bowling

Last weekend we took Beckham bowling for the first time. It was also the first time Britt and I had been bowling together ever. We went with our good friends Kim & Forrest. It was a lot of fun. Beckham absolutely loved it. He couldn't wait for his turn to be up so he could hit the ball. Beckham didn't have his own game, he just used one of my turns and one of Kim's every time up. We'll Kim & I kicked some major butt. They only were ahead of us by maybe 10 points.

Holiday Traditons

This year I am more excited for Christmas then ever! He is finally understanding more and more. Last week he helped me decorate the tree and set up some stuff. Every time we plug in the Christmas lights he gets so excited and yells "WOW". When they are unplugged he says "uh oh" and wants they turned out. He has been so good not to ruin any of it yet. But he was like this with the Halloween decor then the last week he started tearing it apart.

I want to start fun traditions this year with Beckham that he will look forward to and love doing every year. One of the traditions is the "Elf on the Shelf" book and elf. I have found the cutest ideas to do on Pinterest, and Shanna (Britt's cousins wife) gave me so many ideas to do with him. I cant wait. Here are a few of them I have found and that Shanna has found.





I have lots of other ideas I really want to start. I hope he will love them!

Halloween 2011

Beckham was so much fun this year for Halloween. We decided that he would be the cutest Jack Sparrow, so while we were in Disneyland I picked up his costume. It was so stinking cute. I had to have my mom alter the pants and shirt and it turned out fabulous. He didn't like putting it on though. It took us all day to get ready and take pictures, (since I was sick last week and couldn't go do it then). His pictures turned out pretty dang cute. I absolutely loved his costume. I attempted to put eyeliner on him and draw a mustache and beard. They turned out pretty cute. We took him trick-or-treating at Aunt Ilene's, Grandma Beverley's, Grandma Colleen & Grandpa Paul's, Grandma Elma, Grandma Marsha & Grandpa Wayne's, Grandma Jill & Grandpa Trent's, Grandma Louise & Grandpa Marks, Kayla Sue & Landon's, and a few of my Grandmas neighbors. He loved it. By the end of the night he thought he was going to get big presents at everyone's house like at his Grandmas. He had so much fun. By the end of the night we were beat and both crashed before Britt was even in bed. It was a great Halloween. I just love my little Beckham.

Heber Creeper Railroad

This weekend I thought it would be fun to take Beckham, Jordyn, and Mads up and ride the haunted Heber Creeper. My Grandma took us when I was in high school just to ride the train during the day but I have always wanted to do the haunted one and the polar express. So we finally did the haunted heber creeper. Before we got to Vivian Park we went up to Sundance and had a sandwich. We invited Forrest and Kim to come with. It was a lot of fun. I am pretty sure I have made sure Beckham hates Halloween. I had no idea the people come in the train. As soon as we got in the train Beckham started freaking out. He did not like it at all. I had finally gotten him to calm down and then the people came in and scared the crap out of him. Poor little boy. It was fun and I will probably take him back next year. It is the perfect little haunted house for little kids.
