Christmas 2011 and what we did for birthdays and New Years! Oh and the 5 year mark

For Christmas we went down to my parents house. We had a great time relaxing and spending time together as a family. TC got lots of books and little toys! J and I bought and gave out stuff to each other over the whole month. J bought a lawnmower and edger. I bought a iPod touch and a shark steam mop. Plus, lots of other stuff! We are SUPER spoiled!!!

For TC's birthday (12.27) he had a bug and didn't feel well (but have no fear he got a tri-cycle for his big day and we gave it to him the day before and he LOVES IT!).

So in his ACTUAL birthday, we snuggled as a family all morning, and after naps we went to use some of his birthday money on a toy he really wanted. He just LOVED walking in and actually getting to pick up a toy and take it home.

Then that night J's dad, step-mom, and half sister came into town on their way to Texas for the Utah bowl game. We went to dinner and TC started to feel better after we went for a swim at the hotel.

For New Years (12.31/1.1), we went down to Seminole to celebrate what a wonderful year we all had. A missionary came home, a wedding was had, an engagement was accepted, a baby Boy (Mack) was born, and 2 new babies were announced as on the way! The Armours were so blessed this year. 2012 will be great! What with 2 more babies and a wedding all by August! Busy busy.

Tc went to bed at a decent hour and we all just couldn't make it until midnight and crashed, but we tried and had fun!!!

Oh and I became obsessed with the movie Gnomeo and Juliet, it is great!!!!! I need to buy it because TC likes it too and lets me sing along.

For my b-day (1.3), we took my Christmas money & the boys out shopping. Mommy needed some clothes(if you postpartum mommies know what I mean). I really wanted some new clothes! Then we went to Olive Garden for a fabulous lunch. We sat by the funniest black lady! She was killing it the.whole.time! Seriously I thought I was going to pee my pants. Girlfriend should have her own talk show funny, okay? Okay.

It was a wonderful way to spend my 24th birthday with my sweet little family. I was surrounded by all these boys who are just in love with me, what could be better?!?!? Oh and that night we had a dance party in the kitchen (thanks to the new iPod docking station my 'rents gave me!Spoiled? YES!)

On our 5th Anniversary (1.5) we had the missionaries over for dinner. J and I had already celebrate back in November by going to a FANTASTIC sushi place up in the city. One of the missionaries celebrated his bday on the second (1.2) so it was only fitting to throw a MEGA party for him and tc and mack and myself. Oh and his name is Elder Trey Phillips! How cool is that! And he looks like our Trae! We did wings and fries. We consumed 6 lbs. of wings that night. Yikes! But they were delicious thanks to Jordan and all his hard work. For a special anniversary gift the elders sang us a song. Love it!!! I do stats every year and this year is no different.
