My sister Rachel gave us a kitty condo for Bleu this year for Christmas. We couldn't wait to get back to UT to set it up.
Hanging out...

I was doing laundry, put a load with the sheets on the sofa, I come back and Bleu had nessled himself inside, haha. 
My brother Marshall was able to come to CA from UT for Christmas this year, and Rachel, Dave, & their little girl Aurora came up for Christmas morning and brunch. Truman & I got to wake up Christmas morning with Shelly and my Mom & Dad. We had the traditional Christmas morning breakfast my Dad grew up with of pigs in a blanket with maple syrup, fruit cocktail, orange juice, & eggs. 
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...
We all know Shelly wants all the presents...haha.

Truman & me relaxing Christmas morning with my family. Thanks for all the fun, presents, and family time! We had a great time!
We celebrated an early Christmas this year during the break with Truman's older brother Joe, his wife Tracy, and their little boy Milo at their place in San Jose, CA.
Tracy made a yummy spaghetti dinner with salad and garlic bread & got to watch Milo open some presents.
Milo was definitely the life of the party!
The boys got this XBOX 360 for Christmas this year, plus an extra controller, and Call of Duty II: Modern Warfare. They were very excited!
Milo & Tracy
Hayley & Jake
You have to love how Truman's Dad falls asleep at the drop of a hat. Must be tired from all the family fun ;).
Becky reading Milo his new books
Tracy baked some awesome sugar cookies for us to decorate
I cut one of the cookies out to be a heart, haha.
There were lots of fun shapes and colors to decorate with.
On Tuesday, December 15th, Truman got his braces off after 1 year 3 months 2 days 8 hours and 15 minutes. haha. 
Truman and me, Nov. 2007, when we were engaged
These pictures are the morning before he got his braces on... 
Fake crying about having to wear braces for then next 12-15 months. haha..JPG)
80's roller skating night (Early braces + palatal expander)
Amy's Birthday Dinner (End of braces)
'Getting Braces Off Celebration Dinner' at Tucanos! Looking oh so cute in his new shirt ;).
When Truman first got his braces on, we made a deal that when he got them off we would go to Tucanos to celebrate. He was actually able to enjoy the dinner with no braces and no palatal expander!
You've always been darling to me, & now you're going to be smiling even more... Just how I like it! I love you Truman!
Very 'James Dean' Truman
When we were home for Thanksgiving break, Truman's got to hang out with his best friend Cody. When Truman & I still lived in California, he got his motorcyle license but never got the chance to use it. Cody and his brother have some motorcycles, and Truman was way too excited to get the opportunity to go for a ride. They dropped by my parents house, and I made them let me take pictures with some cool guys poses. haha.
Traditions. Don't you love them? 
Day after Thanksgiving, drive to Apple Hill...
...enjoy the samples, taste the cider, gather the freshest produce and goodies ranging from syrups, jams, pies, ciders, 18 apple varities, caramel apples, fudge, apple pumpkin butters & much much more... 
...where we've gotten our Christmas trees since before I can remember...
