Holiday Recap

Hi Everyone! So here's the recap of an eventful 2 months:

I started a new job at the beginning of November at Summit Surgery and Recovery Center. They are a bone and joint surgery center. They do a lot of same day surgeries but they also do some over nighters. I work in the evening shift in the recovery care center. I really love working there! I feel so appreciated by the administrators, my coworkers, and patients. I even received a bouquet of flowers welcoming me to the team my 2nd day of work!

We went to Disneyland with Mom and Dad Boone in the beginning of November as well. It was a lot of fun! We met up with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins for dinner. It was great seeing them. They also helped us get great spots for the fireworks and Fantasmic. We got some great video but I didn't upload them here.

It's been a busy few months and will be a busy next few month preparing for the arrival of our little bambina! We'll attempt to keep you posted!

Something Wicked This Way Comes 2010

So we pretty much kept the decorations the same as last year but added a few more lights and some craft pumpkins (which we have yet to carve) in the house that will go outside to light the stairs Halloween night.

Here's a close-up of the planter. My awesome husband was able to maneuver the pumpkins into their proper positions.

 The kitty looks like our kitty.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!

Valentine's Day fun!

I found these cute foam hearts on sale at Joann's. So I got thinking and bought some glitter glue and we created this:

We wrote inside jokes, our wedding song, and other random loving messages.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

As promised, here's the low-down of our first Christmas as husband and wife.

Cajas Family
The 21st-23rd my family came to spend an early Christmas with us. My mom worked Christmas Eve and Christmas (poor mommy!), Mark worked Christmas Eve, and I worked Christmas day. So this was the only time we'd be able to spend together. It was great to see them and spend some time with them. It snowed during their visit. They had a great time playing in it!

My dad and Mark had a great time sledding down the side of the driveway!

Family photos! Trevor was at work when we took the picture on the right.

Just the Two of Us
On the Christmas Eve it was just Trevor and I. It was really nice to spend some time alone together to celebrate the holidays and the birth of Jesus. It was an easy relaxed day. Nothing fancy. We opened presents in the morning and went to mass in the afternoon. It was really pleasant!

Opening our stockings! Trevor got me some yummy snacks and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I got him a loofah, ACDC boxers, and a Hallmark Joker ornament. I also got him the Hallmark Dark Knight ornament, but couldn't fit it in his stocking. He opened it later with his other gifts. Do you see a theme to his gifts this year?


He bought me a sewing machine! Total surprise! I'm always saying "I wanna do...but it requires a sewing machine." Yay! Now I have one to make curtains and reupholster our dining chairs and bar stools. I can make our Halloween costumes and all sorts of things. But first, I need to learn to sew. It's an awesome sewing machine!!!

I got Trevor his first ever Bat Mobile. On top of that it is the out of production Lego Bat Mobile! I found it on Ebay! He was so thrilled he got to work on making it later that day! He was so surprised! I wish I got a shot of the look of surprise and absolute happiness! I also go him a calendar, a book, a deep fryer, and a few other things.

Boone Family
Mom and Dad Boone, Kazton, Cocoa and Ozzie came up to spend Christmas and the weekend with us. I had to work on Christmas day so I didn't get to see them until that evening. We had Christmas pizza. On Saturday, Kaz went snow boarding at Snow Bowl while the rest of us went The Day After Christmas shopping. Trevor and I also made our first holiday dinner...it was more of a Thanksgiving dinner than Christmas but nonetheless a holiday dinner.

Thanks Mom and Dad Boone and Cajas and Mark and Kazton! It was great spending time with you! And thanks for all the movies, video games, cds, and kitchen gear! =)

Deck the Halls

I love the holiday season! It's so much fun! The cutest thing just happened! We had carolers come by the house! I've always seen it on tv. Never in real life! How wonderful! Here are some things we've been doing to get ourselves in the holiday spirit.

I found this awesome Advent Calendar at Target for $20. I love that it is reusable! Each day we read from the blue advent books which has a little tidbit about saints, traditions, etc and on the other page a scripture reading and a reflection to do. In each of the little boxes I've filled it with chocolates or an activity to do. It's also a very cute decoration.

Here are some of the decorations outside our house:

Here are the decorations inside our home:

Our Christmas tree with all the beautiful presents underneath. The ornament on the right was our cake topper Dad Boone carved and turned into an ornament for us! We also have carving of all our bridesmaids and groomsmen.









Happy Holidays!
