Lets start with Christmas!

Layton City Lights

Christmas Morning! Look at the excitment in Moo's eyes!!!

Really, these are the only two shots that I got of Christmas morning Breakfast!! Sorry Hess family!!!

My Mama's Christmas Dinner

Mr. Sam and Mr. Parley the newest Banks boys

I swear Christmas gets better and better with age! I never really believed my parents when they would say that they didn't really want or need anything for Christmas. I always thought that was such a lie! But now Matt and I both get it! It's so funny we both just don't care any more. We just love giving and making the whole season memorable for our little family! This year was So so so much fun! The kids were so excited. Madi was literally shaking and screaming at the same time and they just loved everything that they got. I am now a believer of getting all of your Christmas errands done the first week of December. In the past I used to just love the hustle and bustle of it and when I finished everything up early I was kind of sad. This year I was pretty much on top of things, so I thought, and then ended up procrastinating on a Barbie house I was redoing for Mad and every night I would just think why didn't I do this earlier so i could be snuggling with Matt watching It's a Wonderful Life! But lesson learned now I know! Next Year my Deadline will be Dec 1st....maybe! :) We thought we were pretty sneaky but apparently Madi is sneakier, about 5pm on Christmas day she told Matt that She had seen the barbie house and knew that Santa was bringing it to her. She didn't want to tell us before because she was afraid that she wouldn't get it anymore!! Dang kid! Max too was pretty excited but heck I worried and worried about what to get him and he opened a $2.00 punching bag and was in heaven for hours! And then there was My Mia girl! She loved it all too. Which was funny because I really didn't think she would have a clue of what was going on, and she just ran around in all of the excitement trying to figure out what on earth was going on! We loved it! What a fun Christmas. I loved celebrating my Savior's life and my family. It was just awesome!

For Christmas this year we were able to Party with my familia and Matt's as well. My mother had us over for a family dinner and the whole nativity story which always includes uncle Justin as the donkey! And Christmas morning we had Matt's family over for a big breakfast, games, and just enjoying each other. It's funny how when you are not the cook you take alot more pics!!

But now on to March!!!!!! Seriously!! Already! I can't believe Christmas has come and gone!! Why didn't they ever really truly explain to you when you were little how fast time really goes!!!! I feel old even saying that phrase!! But now I get it!

A little music history!

My Best Friend: Well this is just our song. We love it, we danced to it at our wedding and whenever I hear it I think of our wedding day and all of our wonderful memories that we share together.

Fidelity: I just love this song for some reason. My mom and sister just laugh at me while I sing it. because I just belt it out. It's fun!

Mr. Brightside: Matt and I are huge Killers fans. Love them!!! When Madi was a baby we would dance with her in our kitchen almost every morning to this song. She would stand there and just bounce and giggle and dance along with us. We would also have my niece and nephew over and have huge dance parties. The neighbors probablly thought we were crazy but it was so much fun!!

New Kids on The Block: Ok what girl my age didn't like The New Kids on The Block!! Oh Joey was so hot!! They were the first concert that I ever went to, and Matthew just informed me the other day that they were getting back together! Go NKOTB!

Jame Taylor: I love this song. Whenever I hear it I just laugh my head off. On our honeymoon Matt and I were sitting on the Kareokee floor of our ship and everyone was singing and watching. I begged Matt to sing me a song. Of all of the love and romantic songs out there he chose this one. Everyone was laughing and singing along. The crowd loved him!!! But not as much as me.

Moldy Peaches: Have you seen Juno? Ok I'll admit some parts are kind of naughty (to say the least) But what a hilarious show. There was all sorts of funky music in that show but Matt and I had this song stuck in our head for days after seeing the movie.

Let it Be Me: This was our first song that we danced to as husband and wife. This was also my mom and dad's first dance on their wedding day. So I love it. My brother Mike tried to sing it for us, we was doing great and then in the middle of the verse he yelled out everybody now!! We laughed and still do laugh about it. What an excellent memory!

Ghetto Superstar: Well have you ever seen the movie Superstar? My brother-in-law once told me that I was such a geek like the girl on Superstar so for like three years after that I would claim that I was a superstar. Kind of weird but then for some reason Matt and I just liked this song.

See you again: We had to put a song on here for Miss Madi. She loves Hannah Montanna she loves to sing to it and dance to it, and we just love to watch her!
