Mom's 50th Surprise Birthday Party

We sent mom on a scavenger hunt while we all hurried over to Los Amigos to surprise her there. And it worked! She was pretty surprised. It was so much fun to have almost everyone in our family there to celebrate with her. Two of the Hispanic waiters came and sang Happy Birthday to her in Spanish. Mom hates surprises and being center of attention, but everyone deserves attention and celebration sometimes! :)

                          

 

Matthew and Taylor couldn't resist with helping mom to blow out her candles and to open her presents. It was pretty cute. We made her a cute calendar filled with pictures of all her kids and grandkids, it turned out so cute! It was really fun watching mom and dad look at it together. :)

Temple Square

Dal and I went to temple square last night with my family to look at the lights! It was so much fun. It was our first time going to temple square together. It was freezing but thats just a good reason to cuddle up more! :)

It was so pretty there!

 

 

Family Christmas Party

We had 2 Christmas parties for Dallin's side of the family on the 12th. They were both really fun! At the Olsen party we both ate tons of yummy fudge :) and at the Ball party we played Bingo, and I won blackout!! We are loving our first Christmas season together! :)

Dal and I joined Jenny Craig and lost 150 lbs!! haha We found these old scrubs that we both could fit into. It was so funny, and it was quite a challenge trying to walk in them together!

Our First Apartment

Here is our first apt together! :) It is very spacious and I got to decorate it all cute inside, loved that part! We love this apt, but sadly we are moving today so we have to say good bye to it! We are moving to Gunnison to live with Dallin's parents for a few months... so it will be a battle Templar vs. Bulldogs. Should be fun!

Spending Thanksgiving holiday with Dallin's family was a blast! Our families only live about 15 minutes away from each other, so we stopped in Friday afternoon to visit my family too. We helped put up the Christmas tree and lights. We are so excited for Christmas this year! :) It will be our 1st Christmas together and we both are being sneaky (well trying to be) about what we are giving each other! This should be interesting how it all works out whether we can keep them secret or not.... We are gonna spend Christmas with my family this year, so it should be fun. Dal was being silly with the tree, and Matthew was following suit. Two very adorable boys!

Thanksgiving!

This year was our first Thanksgiving together :) We spent it with Dallin's family in Gunnison. We had a lot of fun! We made at least 14 pies, so about 1 pie per person (including the babies)... Dinner was delicious, and the pies kept us wanting more. We then decided to go bowling for fun, (and also to TRY and work off a little of the yummy turkey dinner and pies). Ha obviously that only helped us lose about 2 bites worth of pie, and sadly we all averaged about 4 slices! So we only accomplished the fun part! Dal got 3rd place out of his family and cousins. I got 3rd to last! haha.
The top picture is of our nephew, Maddix. He is 6 months old and is very adorable.

                                                                                                                        Dallin decided to have dress-up night (by himself), in this sweet baby blue suit that he bought from the D.I. Haha a pretty classy store! He walked around calling himself Ron Burgundy! It was a pretty silly night. :)

Date Night :)

Dallin and I had a cute/cheap date day/night yesterday! haha as you can tell it was pretty random and funny. We first drove all around Fairview, Mt. Pleasant and Ephraim trying to find these health stores for me. We finally found them, but sadly, they were all closed. The funny part was that we took my really old 1989 honda and it kept killing when we stopped at stop signs and it took about 10 mins to accelerate to the highway speed limit, people that passed us just drove by and laughed at us. That old clunker finally got us home safely though. We then decided that we wanted to do some facials, as you can tell in the picture. It was all really silly and really fun!

We went to Five Guys in Orem for a mission reunion lunch on Nov. 7th for Dallin's mission, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Mission. A lot of people showed up as you can tell. It was a lot of fun to meet everyone there. And also, they have Very tasty hamburgers that I could order Gluten Free! :)

This is our First Halloween together. We went and watched Thriller at the Tuachan Theatre in St. George. It was way fun! And as you can tell by the zombie, it was a little creepy too.
