Dustin's Birthday!

Dustin turned 28 years old today!!! Unfortunately, he spent his special day at work! We were able to go out to dinner though with his family to his favorite place, Red Robins! He got a few gifts, an xbox game and a few pieces of clothes! We had a great time celebrating his 28th Birthday!!

We are so blessed to be able to spend Christmas Day with both sides of our family! We spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Tanners to open gifts with them early and have a big breakfast! Here is a few pictures of Mallory opening her gifts and the rest of us looking pretty in our pajamas at 630 in the morning!!







We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Dockstaders early afternoon to open gifts and have Christmas dinner with them!

Christmas Eve

This year is Mallory's 2nd Christmas but it was a whole different experience with her this year than it was last year! Mallory was only 5 months old last year and was not able to open her own gifts! Mallory had a great time ripping paper off boxes and we had a great time watching her so excited! Here are a few pictures of us opening gifts with Mallory on Christmas Eve because we will be at both grandmas in the morning!!

Christmas Party

My girlfriends and I had a great Christmas Eve brunch this year! We invited the husbands to come and we had a few babies this year too! Dustin and I were having a great time until Mals fell between two chairs and hit her upper lip! Mallory started crying and the blood started gushing! The blood and the tears stopped but we decided to leave early so she could nap before this evenings events! Heres a few pictures that Christa took of the event! PS I broke Suzannes dining table chair while I was there too! It was a great morning...ha

Santa Picture

We took Mallory to see Santa Claus last year at the Mall for $40 dollars and she didn't even notice or care! Then for Easter, we took her to see the Easter Bunny for another $40 and she freaked out!! So this year for a Christmas picture with Santa, we decided that we would just be satisfied with the Santa at the Ward Christmas party! The background and the Santa was, well, terrible but it was free! Just like I thought, we ended up with a screaming baby so needless to say I'm glad I didn't waste $40 dollars this year!

Our Friend Jimmy!

After the party, Dustin and I took Mallory to look at Christmas Lights! She loved it!! She kept putting her head out of the window and saying, "WOW"! We can't wait to take her back!

17 Months Old!

Mallory is 17 months old this month! I am excited because this means we only have 1 month until Mals can attend Nursery!!! I am hoping church will be easier for Mallory because she will have a room she can play in and I wont have to chase her up and down the halls for 3 hours! Yay!! We had a physical appointment with Dr Jones this week and we found out Mallory weighs 19 pounds, 9 ounces. Mals is a tiny little thing! She is only in the 25% range for her weight but in the 50% range for her height! She is 30 1/4 inches tall and her head circumference is 18 1/4 inches! Mallory still doesn't sleep! One night she will sleep from 9 to 5 then the next night she will sleep from 9 to 2 and then from 3 to 7. Ugh! What are we going to do with this girl! Here is a picture of Mals playing on my dad's xbox game and eating a powdered donut! (Don't judge me)

Christmas Tree Decorating

We got a REAL Christmas Tree again this year! Mallory loved looking at the Trees but enjoyed pulling the ornaments down even more! We bought a smaller tree than normal because last year our tree took over our front room!! This smaller tree looks a hundred times better!
