Thanksgiving, Birthdays and More!

Wow what an incredible last week! I actually was reeeeally not wanting it to end. I love time off work, no stress, just fun and relaxation! We loved having Blake and Heather stay with us and then little Shayla and Jared stayed with their dad in LA, and grandma and grandpa at Uncle Charlies. Here is a photo blast of our whole week! 6 Flags Magic Mountain:

TRIGGER WAS LOVED!! He had a blast. A total of 3 dogs at our Thanksgiving this year! Lulu, Baby and Trigger!

Aaron took the kids for a ride on his motorcycle!

Celebrating Aaron's Birthday with the Family!

Aaron's actual Birthday 11/23 at a ripe old age of 27! (I can't forget to mention the MUSTACHE! It was a full beard for "Movember" (mens prostate cancer awareness month) until he decided to make his uncle jealous that he couldn't grow a stache! it worked.

Golfing at Casta Del Sol, Mission Viejo course // HAD A BLAST ON THE GOLF CARTS!

We braved the South Coast Plaza Mall for only about 45 Minutes..... but it was worth it just to see the HUGE christmas tree!!

And that concludes Thanksgiving 2012! Onto Christmas! :-) Hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving time with your loved ones and friends. I love this time of year as I reflect more on what I am grateful for and how blessed I am. I truly love my life and am so thankful for all I have... including you! ***and don't forget about my local friends doing FOLLOW THE STAR at the Altisma LDS Church Building on 12/7-9th and I am interpreting for ASL on the 8th at 6:00pm***

AubreyLately!

Not much going on lately... just working, living, getting ready for the holidays... oh and i'm sick. Blah. My dad is coming into town tonight for a few days... and then Monday Blake and Heather arrive for maybe a week to stay! I love having family come over... Since we only have 1 uncle and Aaron's dad in California it's always fun to have people stay from out of state. I grew up not having any family in the state so i'm used to it. So is Aaron. We will also be celebrating Aaron's birthday on the 23rd with all the family, which we haven't done yet, so I am excited! Now if only he would let me decorate for christmas already..... then i'd truly be happy! Here are a few snap shots I took recently (isn't my puppy sooooo cute!!?)

Our Primary Class (1 missing) during our primary program practice... Love those kids!

Update

Halloween... We went to a friends party and carved pumpkins and had fall treats!

Ward Trunk or Treat as a Cowboy Couple! (aaron looks mighty fine in those chaps and vest! ohhh yaa)

Then we got some more photos of our cute pup Trigger! We are still loving him and adore him. Although lately I had to get back up at 2:30am and again at 6:00am to take him out to pee. I am restless. So exhausted. But it's worth it and we love having him. He is SO much fun.

And lastly..... today is one of the most important days in the history of the United States. I really hope Mitt Romney wins for the presidency. I have faith the right thing will happen and I know the Lord is truly involved in his life and that whatever happens it will be the right thing for the future of our country. This is the Lords promise land and I really hope everything works out for us all.

In other upcoming exciting news..... Dad coming to town for a few days, one nighter in Las Vegas, Thanksgiving, Aaron's Bday on the 23rd, Huntington Beach 10k on Thanksgiving morning with SIL Heather, lots of pie, lots of fun and lots of family and then Christmas! I love this Holiday Season!
