Gabi's baby blessing

Don't you just love long weekends?! Like everyone else, we got school off Monday for MLK day so we packed up, and left for Wendell, Idaho (a tiny little town just 20 minutes outside of Twin Falls which is about a 3 hour drive from Rexburg).

This last Sunday, the 18th, was Keitra and Isaac's little girl's baby blessing. It was really fun to have a lot of family together.

My dad flew in from NY, my mom and brother Kyle from WA, and then Dom, me, Ashley (Kyle's girlfriend), and Breanne (Isaac's sister) drove up from good ol' Rexburg. Almost all of the John-Kathy Horne family was there. We missed Ryan and Jennie being there.

Here are some pictures from the weekend, we had a blast!

Shylee and her silly face

Kiera had piggy tails in her hair, and this is what it looked like when Rene took them out.

Dom and Keira

Michael was in the closet throwing stuff on top of Dom (who was pooped from playing with the kids) and then to top it off, Shylee came along and sat on top of him. haha I can't wait until we have kids.

Me and Shylee playing pattie cake

Ashley and Kyle. Typical.

Gabi in her blesssing dress. Isn't she getting so big?!

HAHA! I love this one. She is so funny.

Tell me what you think

So I have been wanting to cut my hair for quite some time now but haven't had the guts to do it. Now I am at the point where I just want a change. I found some cute haircuts and styles that I love and just to warn everybody it is not my usual "long hair with cute layers" deal. I want to go shorter! So here they are, tell me what you think!

The one on the right obviously

I thought this was cute but maybe a little too short for me

LOVE this one!

Not too short, not too long

Cuuute!

I really love this cut too! I think it is a good length and I love the a-line/bob cut where it is a little loner in the front than in the back.

Ahhh I need help! and I have no idea where to find a good hair cutter around Rexburg!

More Christmas

I tried to add more pictures to the post I posted last time but it was taking forever so I gave up. But here are some more now! I just couldn't leave them out. And as always, there will be more to come. I just have to download them from my camera!

Christmas Eve dinner over at Grandpa and Grandma Sanelli's house. Santa came!

The majority of the Sanelli cousins plus Santa Clause (one of Dom's Uncles)

He pulled be home on the sled. What a good hubby.

Domenic and I getting ready to take on the slope!

Me and Nicia walking up a huge hill. You can't see it because the camera is zoomed in but trust me, it was very large, and tiring.

Nicia and I being dorks.

I have no Idea who that little boy is in the picture. But this is of me running into the rocks. I got some serious distance this time around!

Moving? You have got to be kidding me!

About a week ago I got a call from my sister who told me that Isaac had taken a job in Twin Falls, Idaho (about 3 hours from Rexburg). It was a big mix of emotions, mostly excitement but we were really sad too. They had been looking for a job for some time and especially with the economy as it is any job you can get is awesome, especially ones pays more that 7 dollars an hour and that has the opportunity to move up in it. Although we will miss them a TON, we are really excited for their new adventure in a new city. Keitra told me that she "was just starting to get comfortable, and that usually means it is time to move", unfortunately. We are going to miss having them so close (one floor below us in the same apartment complex). It is so nice to have family close by. I am just grateful they aren't moving across the country!

Here are some more pictures of Gabi, no one can seem to get enough of her, especially us :)

Dom, Brit and Gabi in her cute little "Baby's First Thanksgiving" outfit (Compliments of Ryan and Jennie Horne)

Gabi loves Dom. He was holding her one night and I was getting all jealous because she was crying when I had her, then he handed her over to me after she had calmed down. Bad Idea, she started wailing! Then I gave her back to Dom and she stopped crying immediately. So funny! At least it is a good thing to know she likes boys. Lets just hope she doesn't end up having a crush on her uncle :)

Outfit take #1. This is the cute little Santa outfit that she wore to the ward Christmas party (although she slept through the whole thing so no one got to really see her) minus the hat.It is kind of big on her little head, but it sure did make us smile.

Outfit take #2. This is what she really looked like, the hat is just so silly, but the tights with little red shoes on them make up for it! Adorable.

O Christmas Tree

Dom and I originally decided that we weren't going to decorate our apartment for Christmas this year only because we are going to his parent's house for Christmas. That changed after I persuaded him to have our own Christmas here, in Rexburg (exchanging the gifts we got each other as well as those given to us by my side f the family).

So, the night before thanksgiving we decided to go get decorations! We bought a tree and decorations (everything on the tree and more) and away we went. We got so into it that we even stayed up until two in the morning laying Christmas music and eating popcorn. Yikes, but it was definitely worth it. Here are SOME of the pictures from our decorating. We had a blast.
