Pre-Christmas anticipation...

I took Stella to the mall on Christmas Eve just to walk around (she loves to run free in an open space) We found a huge Christmas tree outside, and huge moon-boots inside. We had a great time, she smiled at everyone and got lots of attention back....

Stella loves her cousins Sara and Garrett, she likes to attack Garrett for some reason

Christmas exchange at James and Summers... we ate dinner, dessert, and even played games (yes Brent did participate--he isn't the biggest game fan)

Summer gave Stella this cute little onesie, "mommy's little elf", she is so helpful...

Grandpas funeral (and christmas pics....)

The whole family was at the funeral for our dear Grandpa Hanson, it was a beautiful funeral. My mom sang with my cousin Amberly and they sounded great. My Grandpa lived a long, honorable life so it wasn't a sad funeral. We realized we needed to take Christmas card pics ASAP so we used the outdoor light at the cemetery...(i know kind of funny setting for pics)

sad

happy

glad to be done

yo gabba gabba!!!

A few months back (I think it was in November) Yo Gabba Gabba came to concert in SLC!! Stella was a little young to really understand, but she had a great time crowd surfing. We went with our neighborhood gang (Whitney and Holly) and the kiddos. For Stella's first concert she did quite well.... she had so much fun that she had to take a nursing break 1/2 way through!

Stella and Berkely (one year apart, but they probably weigh the same)
