Easter

The Easter Bunny came to visit and left Marc a ball. I think he could have left Marc an empty bucket and he would have been just as happy. Matt parents were here to celebrate with us and it was a fun day.

Catch Up

Well I haven't posted for a while, so I am going to catch up. Last weekend we went to my parents and had some family pictures taken. I decided to have some of our family taken as well, and I am so glad I did cause I really like how they turned out.






This week Matt and I went to a Valentines Day Dance that our ward had, and I had so much fun. Matt tried to put up a fight, but I won and we went. It was so much fun to do my hair and get all dressed up. Matt and I are not really dancers, but we just played around. I was so dizzy and my feet were killing, but it was a blast.




And last but not least we tried feeding Marc rice cereal for the first time. He did okay, but I'm not sure how much he actually ate. Most of it just ended up on his bib. We will keep trying, and hopefully it will help him not be so hungry!

Christmas

Well Marc really doesn't get the whole Christmas thing, but I think he likes his Santa gift. He got an activity center bouncy thing, tons of fun!!! He really can't sit up yet, so he sorta leans, but he was playing with the toys. Matt and I also were good and got some fun presents. We had a fun time with my family and enjoyed a slightly calmer Christmas day than last year.

Nativity

We had some of our neighbors over for Family Home Evening last night. We acted out the nativity story and then decorated cookies. I thought that it was very fun and reminded me of being at home. I love the Christmas season and all the traditions that come with it. My family has lots of traditions that I am excited to carry on in our family. I think acting out the nativity is my most favorite tradition and I am glad we got to share it with our neighbors.

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Spokane so Matt could look at a college there and also to see some of his friends from pageant. The family was so nice to us and we had a great time with them. Marc did really well on the whole trip he slept most of the time in the car and endured being passed to many strange people. Our Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. There were 27 people at there house for dinner and we all sat at one table, it was quite a sight. I am thankful for the many blessings that I have in my life and I am grateful for this season to reflect upon them.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween together. Marc had a great time, but slept through most of it. He was close to filling out his costume (we think it is a puppy) but he didn't quite make it. I give him about a week and he will have out grown it!!!





We went to our ward trunk or treat where Matt and Marc made the rounds. They ended up with lots of candy. Marc was actually awake for this portion of the night, however I doubt he will remember it.


After that we went with some friends and their kids around their neighborhood. We had a system that the kids would tell us what kind of candy the house was giving out and if it was good (chocolate) either Matt or I would take Marc (who was sleeping) up and get some candy. It was a good night and I think that Marc had a good first Halloween.

Halloween Party

Our ward had a Halloween party tonight. It was fun. There were lots of activities and yummy treats. I think my favorite part was watching all the little kids running around. I am excited for Marc to be at that age. There were some cute costumes. Our costumes took some thought, but once people got it they thought it was pretty clever. Marc has a different costume that we will break out next week. See if you can get the cleverness of the costumes.

Here is a close up of Marc.


Ok for those of you who didn't get it:

Matt is a Welcome MATT
Katherine is a KAT
Marc is a Question MARC

So it is a little lame, but we had fun.
