catch up from the last 3 months

Just a few snapshots from our lives the last three months. We have been really busy with school, but we have also had a lot of fun. Picking up from where we left off at the end of the fall semester...

Our Christmas tree--my very first real tree!














We enjoyed Christmas Eve with my family. Justin loves having nieces and nephews now.














Racing out on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought us.














We were able to attend the Fiesta Bowl with my family.














We happened to redeem our free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches on kid's night and got pictures with the cow!



























Justin's birthday was a lot of fun. I forgot to buy birthday candles, so we just used this votive.


















We finally got wedding pictures up. Here's the whole process.










































Justin made my birthday such a wonderful day. This is what I woke up to, as well as a delicious breakfast.
































My sister Sarah made me the birthday banner as a gift!














Justin made me Strawberry Shortcake for my birthday cake. It was delicious!














I decided it was time to cut my hair short in preparation for the summer heat. Before and after.































A sunset picnic at Tempe Town Lake to kick off Spring Break.














We hiked Picacho Peak during our Spring Break. This was the only picture we managed to get before the camera's batteries died.














Dinner at Carrabba's to celebrate 8 months of marriage.














We purchased a breadmaker at Goodwill and tried out our first loaf. Something clearly went very wrong. We found out it was the yeast and our second loaf turned out just fine. :)

Yay! You posted! Great job for taking all those pictures...it will be so fun to look back on how you celebrated holidays and birthdays, as well as all the fun things you do together.

The picture arrangement on the wall looks very lovely. And the bread picture is hilarious!

I love all the pictures, Christie! Your hair looks so cute too. Mitchell was looking at your post with me and he especially liked the one of the candies down the hallway. I think it reminded him of the book "There's an Alligator Under my Bed"!

Sheesh. It's about time. I'm one to talk, right? Anyway, it was fun to see what you've been up to. Love the haircut too!
