Getting in the full swing of the Holidays

Today I felt a little homesick. My mom had mentioned that this past friday she stayed home from work to decorate the house for Christmas....so yeah I got homesick! I got up at 8:30am and we don't have church till 1pm. What was I doing? I laid on the couch and decided to watch a movie and just relax. I went through my movies and decided on The Polar Express (one of my new Christmas favs! ). I laid there, watched the movie and just loved the holiday spirit it brought to me.

Then we went to church knowing that we were going to go take pictures after church for our Christmas cards. It was funny. I had on a red dress and decided to wear red lipstick. You would not believe how many comments I got on wearing red lipstick! I really think red lipstick is a thing now used for stage make-up or costumes, not everyday attire!

After church we headed over to the Mesa Temple to take pictures of our friends family and had them take a few pictures of us. We also got there before them so Derek and I experimented with the lighting and the pictures so the ones of us individually are taken by us and the togethers a friend took! It had been a very festive day for me and I have loved every minute of it!
