Three Christmases

This year we had three Christmases! Our first Christmas was just with our little family...

Beautiful morning hair!

Then we celebrated Christmas again with the Harts...

Books!

Apparently, Kari's canned goods are more fun than new Christmas toys...haha.

Finally, we celebrated the actual Christmas with the Lobos!

All of the presents under the tree where ONLY for Marisa!

Opening her first present!

A doggy!

She LOVES doggies!

Marisa's favorite thing about the dog is when it wags its tail!

Grandma's 80th Birthday Party

Our Christmas break started by traveling to Salt Lake City for a quick weekend to celebrate Grandma Hart's 80th Birthday. It was fun to see (almost) her entire posterity in one big room. Donna Mae is a pretty special lady and we sure love her!

I finally caved in. I read the "vampire" book and I finished it today. Anyone want to see the movie with me?

Thanksgiving Festivities

I love getting together with family for the holidays. My brother and sister came down from BYU to join us and Tim's family for Thanksgiving this year. We did a lot of shopping, eating, laughing, and just enjoying everyone's company. One of my favorite Hart family traditions is that we eat at Ruby's on Huntington Pier for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving and shop at Huntington Surf and Sport. It is Tim's favorite store and it is the one and only day out of the whole year where Tim shops. Literally. So, the food was great, the company was great, Thanksgiving this year was great!

Riding an airplane at the Carlsbad Outlet!

Heading to storytime at the library! (Can I get this outfit in my size?)

Standing on a present by the HUGE tree at Fashion Island!
