<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Elliot's other grandparents came over the Monday after we got home to see Elliot. They came bearing gifts. We thought we try the cake thing out again, since the first time was a bust. Well, he wasn't too thrilled this time around either. He did taste the blue pearls and some of the cupcake.</span></div>

It was at Adam and Hillary's new house, so the decorations looked extra good! We had bacon/ blue cheese burgers, sweet potato fries, and chips and salsa. I made chocolate cupcakes with blue pearls on top for dessert.<br />
<br />
Elliot was not in the best mood starting about dinner-time (I think he was tired). He did not like his cake and absolutely hated when Uncle Max tried to give him a head start digging into the cake.

Elliot's party doubled as an Oscar Party, which Adam and Hillary threw. Ballots were made up for us to fill out and Hillary and Molly made fancy truffles.<br />

Russell's parents went as well. We had fun spending time with all of them.<br />
<br />
We decided, spur of the moment, to drive a bit further to Vegas and stayed with our friends, the Adams. They were so welcoming and it was great to see them. We ate at a buffet on the strip and had a good time walking around and watching the famous fountain show.

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">We had a great time celebrating the new year with our friends Mitch, Stacie, Matt, Kiera, and their kids. Stacie was there to welcome us in her zebra striped, pregnant belly, dancing at the front door- a moment I hope to never forget! We ate hors d'oeuvres, danced the night away on the Wi and counted down the new year. The plan was to stay the night, but we only made it part way before Elliot freaked out. We got our stuff together and left in the middle of the night. It didn't end so well, but we had a good time!</span></div>

Russell planned a "Provo River Cruise" for the three of us. It was smaller than we thought it would be and definitely cheesy, but fun to take the little man.</div>

I believe it was a pageant originally done in Kirtland, Ohio. It was about Joseph Smith, Emma, and the Saints moving to, then away from Kirtland. <br />
<br />
I wasn't planning on auditioning for the show, but I was at the auditions with the Young Women in my ward and thought maybe I should. I called Russ to see if he'd be okay with it and he said to go for it.<br />
<br />
I'm so glad I ended up doing the show! I met some wonderful people. Russ was so good to have Elliot while I was at rehearsals and performances.<br />

Marty Reimchissel had the vision of doing this show in our stake. He was a wonderful person and liked having fun. He put so much time and effort into the pageant. Marty became hospitalized about 2 weeks prior to the show and sadly passed away last night.

I really do love this time of year. Lights & decorations, baking, Christmas movies, activities & music, snow, hot chocolate, feeling warm & cozy, family, focusing on our Savior's birth.<div><br /></div><div>We have been feeling quite Christmasy at our house. Russell put up Christmas lights on our house and around our front window, we busted out our decorations, we went to the Festival of Trees with my mom, and we decorated our tree.

He is doing new things all the time. He climbs over everything, pulls himself up to his feet, says, "Da da", "Ma ma", "Ba ba", "Na na", & blows tons of spit bubbles.

My sister, her girls, and brother came down from Logan and my dad came over as well. Friday night we made delicious caramel apples and Saturday morning we went to Petersen Family Farm in Riverton. It was awesome! Admission was free, which included a small cornmaze for children, hayride, a walk through the pumpkin patch, and a free cup of apple cider. We only had to pay for the pumpkins we picked out and other food items.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Molly & Evelyn</div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sz-VCLceBMQ/TrCa6mjWb2I/AAAAAAAABxk/B2S-J8Cq8_w/s1600/Oct-%2BHalloween%2B2011%2B004.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
