A Wonderful Christmas

I hope you all had a wondeful Christmas. I know I sure did.

Christmas Eve Travis and I went over to His sister's house. We wanted to see our nephew's and give them their presents because we knew it was going to snow again on Christmas and we wouldn't be able to go and see them for Christmas day.
 I love those boys so much. They loved their presents so much. I wanted to get them more but we are trying to save money so it was hard not to spoil them!

Uncle Travis and Henry.

 

Heidi and their beautiful Christmas tree

 

The whole family.  I love them so much.

 

My sweet Henry. He has this look that just kills you. I caught it on film..

 Christmas day we slept in, which was so nice not having any commitments.
After we woke up and showered, Travis and I went and got Steve, Travis' brother.

Travis was very excited about his picture of Charlie. I just need to finish it.
I am not sure if I told you but I also got him a pocket watch. He told me that he has always wanted one. I found the perfect one in Utah when I was visiting. I even got it engraved.
On the front it says: "Our First Christmas 2008"
Then on the back it says "Forver Yours, Shalee"
You should;ve seen his face! It was priceless, I wish I had my camera out but I was too excited to give it to him.

Then it came to the present Travis gave to me. I opened that one last. I had to! The best gifts are always opened last!

Me opening the box. I had NO idea. He is very good at keeping secrets!

 

He got me a riding jacket! Oh it is so nice! The smell of leather makes me melt!

I want to wear it all the time, but it has the protective armor in it. So its not practical for everyday wear.

The boys. Steve, Kym and my Travis.

Every year my parents always make gifts for everyone. Very creative family I have! Anyway my mom made Travis the coolest gift. She made him a calender of me. Its all baby pictures of me and it coordinates with the months. She worked so hard on that. Travis loves it so much.

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas. I know I did.

Downtown and Sweet Nephews

Tuesday was a wonderful day. It has been super rainy here lately and I've been unable to do a whole lot of things outside. Since I just moved here with Travis I don't have a lot of friends, the ones I do have work in the food court with me and we don't have corresponding days off. Anyway I thought it would be fun to spend my day off with my sister-in-law and her two wonderful boys.

So I went over there around 11 when Henry was waking up from his morning nap and to pick up Joesph from preschool.
After I surprised Joesph we went to downtown tacoma. Our first stop was lunch. We were all starving; Heidi and I were in the mood for a little Cafe. We found the perfect cafe on the corner of the street:
Grassi's


After lunch we were all in the mood for a little desert. So we stopped by Heidi and the boy's favorite cupcake shop. Happy Cupcake. If you ever get a chance to roam downtown tacoma I highly recommend this boutique. It was a cupcake frenzy;the boys had more on their face than in their stomachs. After that fiasco we took a ride on the train. It is Joesph's favorite! We went up and down the avenue, to pass the time Henry and I played peek-a-boo over the seats.






After a long day for the boys it was nap time for the boys so we rode the train one more time back to our car.
Needless to say I had a wonderful day with my nephews and my sister in law.

I love them so much.

I am an Aunt now

So next saturday is my Nephew's 1st birthday. I am so excited. I still can't believe I am an aunt. He is the sweetest little kid I've ever met. His heart is full of gold, and his soul is just so old. When you look in his eyes, it looks like your looking at an 80 year old man. He looks so wise. I can tell he is going to be a wonderful person when he grows up.

My hubby comes home tonight from Spokane. We are building our first house there, its going to be so awesome. But its going to take some time, so in the mean time we are staying with my husband's parents. Its a little stressful at times, but I hope I can make it for another year or so.
