Hair band, tie, todder uggs, and our first Christmas Tree

So, lately Taylor has noticed the hair bands that I wear all the time and wanted to try one on. He leaves it in for a couple minutes and walks around the house thinking he's real cute. He would have made a really cute girl! It's funny, he also likes to help me put lotion on my legs in the morning.
A neighbor of my parents gave us a cute little tie for Taylor. It's his first. So we dressed him up all cute for church. It's amazing how grown up he looks with a tie. Also that morning, Sonny gave Taylor his second big haircut. He looked up on you tube how to do it. Turned out pretty good! Taylor's hair is really difficult to cut, not because he moves a lot (we give him a popsicle during it) but because it is so thick. We like to keep it sort of long because we love his curls in the back.


I decided to get Taylor some red uggs... just kidding. These are my slippers that Taylor just loves to wear. We're going up to Rigby, ID for Christmas and will probably be walking through a lot of snow there. These slippers will give him great practice; they are probably somewhat like walking through snow. They make you walk kinda weird.
Lastly, I talked Sonny into getting a real Christmas Tree this year. We've never had one, not even a fake one, since we've been married and I thought for our first time, we had to get the real thing. It's a cute little one from Walmart ( It looked so much bigger at Walmart). I realized that I pretty much have no ornaments so we bought a bunch of little cheap things. Sonny and Taylor decorated most of it and did a fantastic job. I'm surprised, I thought Taylor would have knocked it down by now but he likes flipping the lightswitch on the wall to make the lights turn on better!

THANKSGIVING VACATION

Thanksgiving break was a very fun couple of days! We stayed here in Cali with my family and hung out with everybody. My brother Kyle came home from BYU and it was really fun to see him again. He is looking great. On Wednesday, the day that was supposed to be rainy, turned out to be a perfect day for Disneyland! It only rained for about 10 minutes total. The longest line we had was Buzz Lightyear. Taylor had a chance to finally go on the Pirate Ship, the Columbia. It hasn't been working for a while. He was hoping to meet Captain Jack Sparrow in person in New Orleans square but didn't get the chance. Anyways, we had a good time there as usual. Thanksgiving dinner was at my family's house in Glendora. My sister Sarah and her husband Rocky drove down from Orange County to join the festivities. I attempted to make the yams and they surprisingly turned out pretty good. They tasted like candy! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had time to just relax and eat... Taylor thankfully slept most of the dinner. He didn't want to try any of the food though after he woke up. He preferred his grilled cheese. But he did love the pumpkin pie! I preferred the key lime pie. We took some family pictures later on in the day. We haven't had one taken of all of us in a long time. Friday the girls all went out to a movie. We saw "Australia" and we all enjoyed it. It was super long but I always look forward to Baz Luhrman's work. He always does neat stuff. It was a fun Thanksgiving break and we are looking forward to Christmas break in Boise.
