We are so grateful we were able to attend Lillian's Baptism. We are so proud of her!!

(again for posterity/history sake, 27 weeks pregnant here)

Another fun night with the Callan's and Bahrenfuss's :)

 Thanks for the invite! We had fun celebrating your birthday with you!!

For my birthday, Darren surprised me with tickets to the Phoenix Symphony. The biggest surprise though was that we weren't going alone. Around 6:00 in the evening, some friends showed up at our house to go with us. It was a super fun night! Thanks babe for making it a great birthday! I'm so glad these two great couples could help me celebrate :)

(just for posterity sake...I'm about 24 weeks pregnant here)

Love these crazy people! :)

The Bahrenfuss's

The Callan's

What a fun night!!

Darren surprised me with tickets to My Fair Lady at Symphony Hall.

 It was so much fun!! He knows me so well :) Thanks sweetie!!

Darren and I have been to this event before but it was fun to go with my mom this year. The only downside was how hot and dusty it was but we survived and had a great time! (even with me being 12 weeks pregnant and not feeling my best)

This is his best jet fighter face :)

We didn't do much for Valentine's Day this year since I was 8 weeks pregnant and feeling....well...not great. Fruit was about the only food I could tolerate, so Darren made me this fruit pizza. He even made a quinoa crust from scratch and a glaze using yogurt and peach juice. It was yummy!! Isn't he the sweetest thing ever? :)

With the newly built Gilbert Temple now completed, Darren and I had the chance to help usher for the open house. It was a great experience.

I was stationed in this beautiful room for 5 hours. Not a bad place to pass the time eh? It was awesome to see so many people come through the doors and witness their reaction to seeing this for the first time.

For Darren's 35th birthday, my mom and I took him to Pomo Pizzeria in Scottsdale. This place has the best pizza!!

I don't have any pictures of us but I had to show a picture of the scrumptious Margherita Pizza...my absolute favorite!

Christmas morning. Me in my robe and Tiffany looking beautiful as always :)

We also were able to Skype with this awesome sister missionary! We sure missed her this year but are so proud of her for the great work she in accomplishing in Portugal.

P.S. I've said it before...but I really do have the most amazing sisters!! They are so strong, both mentally and spiritually. I look up to them so much and I cannot imagine my life without them :)

ugly sweater party with family

I love that my grandma is rocking a Beatles t-shirt...haha :)

Yeah..she is definitely the winner!

New Year's Eve with the Phoenix Symphony

drinks after :)

Indian food at The Dhaba in Tempe. I love Indian food. I can't believe I have lived most of my life without it.

Look at that spread. Yeah...it was amazing!! (p.s. this wasn't just for Darren and I. My mom and Tiff were there too). I do have a pretty hearty appetite but this would surpass my limit for sure :)

And last but not least...we attended a picnic to celebrate the marriage of my Grandpa Williams to Theresa Gardner. It was a beautiful day, especially to have the new Gilbert Temple in the background.
