THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR...

It really was the most wonderful time! We've been celebrating Christmas for a month now and are sad to see it all come to a close. We celebrated with my parents in Rexburg a couple of weeks ago and then with Derek's family over the holiday. Our days have been filled with sugar cookies, presents, pulling Eva away from the tree, hookybobbing, snow, and surprises. It has been a special Christmas for Derek and I. We both felt as excited and anxious this year as we did when we were children. One of the highlights of our Christmas was reading about the first Christmas in Luke, Matthew, and 3 Nephi as we drove to Boise. It was nice to take a moment amidst the festivities to remember the reason for them. We hope it was a Merry Christmas for all.

AND OF COURSE...

Derek

Derek doing what he does best.

The funny faces this guy makes are great.

Derek in Cuba.

Cliff-jumping in Mexico.

Derek's business trip to India.

I got tagged! I almost feel like I've achieved some sort of rite of passage in this blogging world. The best part is I get to blog about my favorite thing to think and talk about...Derek.

What is your husbands name? Derek David
How long have you guys been married? 4 years
How long did you date? We were friends for 5 months and dated for 7 months (4 months of which we were apart)
How old is he? 27 years old
Who is taller? Derek (just barely, yeah right)
Who can sing best? Definitely Derek. He can sing any tenor or bass line you throw at him.
Who is smarter? Derek for sure. I can ask him about any flag or world leader or anything really and he knows all about it. Oh yeah, and his language abilities are the tops.
Who does laundry? Well, well, well, He knows how to do it and is doing a lot more of it these days, but he despises folding the clothes.
Who pays the bills? That would be me.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does.
Who mows the lawn? Oh there is no way I do that. Besides, he takes pride in his mowing and trimming abilities considering that was a past job of his.
Who cooks dinner? Depends...his black beans are amazing though.
Who kissed who first? I had to wait a while for Derek to make his move, but he finally did.
Who wears the pants? We both do!

Tag you're it! Masha, Nat, and Mom, let's see what you think of your Bleazard boys.

BOO!

Well, this picture pretty much sums up our costume experience. Nothing is easy when wearing a box! Thanks to Ty and Masha for another great Halloween party. We can't wait for next year! Here is a pic of our pumpkins proudly displayed. Derek's of course is the awesome Pirates of the Caribbean inspired skull and crossbones, mine is the generic pumpkin carving kit face at the bottom, and of course Eva's is the baby bottle in the middle. Next Halloween is sure to be a blast since she will be way into it. For now we can't wait for Thanksgiving!

Pumpkin Carving

Derek did all the dirty work on the three pumpkins.

Eva enjoyed the pumpkin carving from afar.

We had doughnut holes and apple cider. It was the perfect pumpkin carving night.

Eva loved her bottle carved pumpkin. We'd love to reveal the pumpkin Derek carved, but it must remain a secret until this Friday's pumpkin carving contest. Just wait and see!
