my favorite time of the year

it's that time again! we are in full swing holiday fun. parties, baking, decorating and gift wrapping. i love this time of year! i love it all. since we are with my parents this year, i decided to get a baby christmas tree for our room. i LOVE it! i also picked up some festive additions in the $1 section.

i can't believe next christmas we will have a chubby little 6 month old baby. i cannot wait!

fishing in utah

while in utah for thanksgiving we decided to enjoy the great outdoors. we all went to a nearby lake and attempted to catch some fish. i mostly just sat back and enjoyed the view, but the kids had a great time and did better than the adults! it was nice to just spend time together being outside. it was beautiful.

all of the judd rex's at the conclusion of the funeral for uncle wayne

we ended our trip by saying a tearful goodbye to uncle wayne selph. he was so loved by everyone who knew him. the funeral services were beautiful, all of his children spoke and were able to tell their favorite stories of their dad and express their love. i am so grateful to have been able to be there. it was an emotional day, but we also were able to see so many family members that we love.

we love and miss you uncle wayne!!!

rex thanksgiving and an early christmas

this year for thanksgiving the rex family made the trek to utah! it was SO much fun spending time with everyone and watching all the kiddos play. julia and aaron hosted all of us for a beautiful and delicious meal. it was so so so yummy.

later that night, we celebrated christmas early since we wouldn't all be together for the christmas holiday. it was really fun having just our family and being able to see all the kids open their gifts. we sang songs, did the traditional nativity and got spoiled by grandma rex.
