Holiday Magic
I am absolutely loving the Christmas season this year! Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. I'm sure Christmas is every kid's favorite holiday but it has continued to be mine throughout my adult life as well. I love all the traditions, the decorating, giving gifts, the movies, the music, etc.
However, this year my love of the holiday has been re-energized because of Gavin. He has been talking about Santa since before Thanksgiving and it is so fun to watch him absorb it all. I can't wait to pass along all of our traditions and to make Christmas morning as special as I remember it growing up.
Speaking of traditions, we have a bunch that we do every year. Of course, decorating is one and Gavin wanted to help with everything.
We love going downtown to see the lights. Unfortunately we picked the most crowded day of the year so it was hard to see everything, but we still had fun.
Another tradition is making gingerbread houses with my family. It's always an interesting night filled with lots of frustration and lots of laughter.

SNOW
Last weekend was our first big snow storm and the boys couldn't resist playing in it.
Of course Gavin only lasted five minutes, but that's not surprising.

Rivalry Week Food Drive
Every year my office and my students are in charge of the Rivalry Week Food Drive. This year is no exception and the food drive continues until Saturday.
There are so many ways to donate and you can find all the info here: www.alumni.utah.edu/rivalryweek

There are also Jazz tickets, hotel stays, ski passes and more. If you are interested in bidding on any of these items please go to www.biddingforgood.com/rivalryweek.
All proceeds go to the Utah Food Bank.
GO UTES!!!
Windy City
Our trip to Chicago was awesome! The city is amazing and everywhere you looked there was something wonderful to look at.
This was the view from our condo window; amazing!
On our first night we went to a Chicago Blackhawks game. The picture didn't really turn out, but it was so much fun being in that arena! NHL games are such a blast.
The next day we were walking around the city and we stopped to play at this very strange piece of art.
By the river.
Eating Chicago-style pizza.
We took a boat tour to see the architecture of the city. It was amazing and so much fun to learn the history of all the buildings.
We visited Soldier Field and the boys visited Wrigley Field. And then of course, we got to see the Notre Dame campus.
This is the view from our seats at the football game. The game did not turn out like we had hoped but I'm still very glad we went. The trip was a lot of fun and I loved exploring a city we had never been to.
Our team is ready to redeem themselves this weekend and I can't wait.
GO UTES!!!

Black Saturday
As I'm sure you will be able to tell, all these pictures were taken before the game was played on Saturday. That is why we all look so happy. :)
I know this will shock most of you but I did not go to GameDay on Saturday morning. This pregnancy has taken so much out of me that I did not have the energy to get up at 5 a.m. Jesse went and had a good time.
Tailgating with the family.
Jesse and I were able to go on the field before the game.
It was a horrible, awful day but we stayed until the very end and will continue to support our Utes not matter what. I can't wait for our trip to South Bend!
