OUR 1ST CHRISTMAS.............

Our 1st Christmas was amazing! Where do I even start.......This year we decided to stay in Utah and spend the Holidays with Joey's family since Joey came to Oregon with my family last year! Even though we missed my family alot, we still had so much fun! Christmas Eve, we made tons of food and learned how to make really really good cinnamon rolls from Joey's Mom! Later that night, the whole Bradfield Family went over to Grandma and Grandpas house and had lots of food, a Christmas program, and a gift exchange! It was so much fun being with the whole family and all spending Christmas Eve together! It was also really special because during the Christmas program, the Spirit was so strong. We read the Christmas story from the scriptures and people sang and it was so special. I've never done anything like that before! I loved being all together! Christmas morning we called my parents and opened our presents from them over the phone so we could celebrate together. My parents spoiled us! We got so many fun presents from them and we are so grateful! It was good to hear them open theirs and share that together. After that we went upstairs with Joey's family and opened presents with them! It was so much fun! They spoiled us as well...we got so many fun things that we're excited about. We also loved watching them open the presents we got them. Later that morning we went to Joey's Aunts house and had a huge breakfast. It was fun learning Joey's families traditions and seeing how they celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. It was such a special day, and we are so grateful for our families and this Gospel and each other...

Get ready...here is TONS of pictures :)

I was so happy about "Our 1st Christmas" ornament!

It's CHRISTMAS time!!!

So today Joey has been at work and school all day..I was really bored! So I decided to go buy Christmas decorations! I didn't buy very many but I bought enough to make our house look at least a little like Christmas! I can't wait until we can buy lots of decorations someday!

Here's our stockings...when I get a sewing machine I'm gonna TRY to make cuter ones!

Our new Christmas Ornaments!

I promise I don't wear this hat everyday! haha I feel like in all my pictures

THURSDAY..............

I got offered another part time Dental Hygiene Postion! We are so blessed! It has been a long 7 months looking for a full time dental hygiene job...but we were patient (lets be honest, Joey was but not so much me) so now look what happened! So as of Dec. 13, I will work Mon and Wed at an office in Provo, and Thurs and Fri at the most amazing office ever in Pleasant Grove (the office i've worked at for 6 months now). We are so grateful! Most of all I'm so excited to be able to quit serving nights at Texas Roadhouse, use my Bachelor's degree, and spend nights at home with my husband..it's been a long time :)

FRIDAY...................

We got to go to the Festival of Trees with our friends Taylor and Kelly Ellis! It was actually really cool! There were so many different kinds of trees that people made and donated for patients at Primary Childrens. It was kind of sad! There were pictures next to each tree of the little kids that have passed away at primary's. It made us so grateful for all we have and for the special Christmas Season. They also had some pretty amazing gingerbread houses! They were made out of anything you could think of..donuts, pretzels, candy, chocolate, ice cream cones, and cereal. Some people are pretty creative! We had a really fun time tonight!
