The Urrutia Family: December 2011

Well, it's official that I'm the worst at updating this blog! I feel like I can never find time, but here it goes...

We stayed in Utah for Thanksgiving this year. We went over to my Grandma and Grandpa Monsen's for Thanksgiving dinner. It was super chill and low key, which is nice to have during this time of year.

Here we are Thanksgiving Day :)

Our bug eyed girl! :)

Then, late Thanksgiving night Tyler's family came into town. Tyler's parents and 2 brothers stayed with us, and Tyler's sister, Jacey, and her family stayed with their friends. It was so great to have everyone around, and we were excited that they were all able to make it for Tori's baby blessing. We definitely missed Tyler's brother's family though, they were unable to make it because they live in Ohio.

The first day we all just hung around Provo and went to the BYU bookstore and the Creamery on 9th. We also tried to do a little Black Friday shopping, but that lasted about 40 minutes. It was way too crazy, and there was nothing I wanted bad enough to have to be apart of the madness.

The next day we all went up to Temple Square. As usual the lights were beautiful, but man was it super packed. I've never been to Temple Square when it was that packed. It was still a lot of fun though.

And thanks to my friend, Heidi, Tori didn't have to freeze her buns off! The bear suit is seriously the cutest thing. Tori looked so adorable. People were totally doing double takes on Tori just to make sure there was a baby in there and we weren't just carrying around a pink teddy bear haha :)

Then on Sunday we blessed our baby girl. The blessing was so beautiful. I can't believe how emotional I was, but the spirit that I felt there was very special. I'm glad we finally got to bless our baby girl, and had family there to share that special moment with.

Tori wore my baby blessing dress. Isn't it pretty?! I really was amazed at how great of shape it was in. After all it is almost 22 years old! :) Our sweet girl looked so beautiful.
