MeRrY ChRiStMaS!!!!!! We started off the season by going to Temple Square on a double date with my brother Kameron and Todd's sister Cara. I love the lights!!

We continued our Christmas Eve tradition by going with fam to Los Hermanos for a yummy lunch!

Christmas Part II

For our first Christmas we stayed at the Kim (Todd's sister) and John Jonas' house with their three super cute kids! This one just sat on my lap almost the entire time we opened gifts. I loved every minute!!

Todd gave me some interesting gifts such as a pink shower cap (which sorry to say I really do use), a sink plug, and few other silly gifts. He did give me some super sweet gifts as well like new born PJ's and some jewelry. It was a great Christmas spent with the Claybaugh family whom I love so much and have felt so warmly welcomed!!!

On the Sunday after Christmas we went to my parent's house to exchange gifts for siblings and have a little program. Todd showed his sweet skills on the piano with the famous Charlie Brown song.

All the little girls recieved Lip Smackers chapstick from my mom and Megan especially loved it, to the point of digging it out. The chapsticks all smelt so yummy, it brought back memories of my little girlhood.

Austin and I are really good at making SiLlY faces!! He is such a character.

The HONEYMOON!!

We left after the luncheon to St. George and stayed our first night there at sweet Bed and Breakfast, which was the first house in St. George. Our travels continued on to San Diego where we went on a 4 night cruise to Catalina Island and Mexico, which we never went on land due to the Swine Flu scare...we were in Mexican waters though. Catalina Island is just off the coast of California. We rode tandem bikes, went to a yummy pizza place, shopped at the many little shops, and went to the "beach" more like land of rocks...with imported sand scattered here and there. We had a blast on the ship with all you can eat buffet, including ice cream, a personal favorite, omelets, fresh fruit, and so much more beyond your wildest dreams:) We saw some shows that were...very ummm interesting. You will find many varieties of people when you go on a cruise, both passengers and those that man the ship. The man that made our bed and kept the room nice always referred to us as Mr. Todd which he pronounced Toad and Mrs. Alexis pronounced Alexeeece, which I loved hearing our "names". You'll just have to try a cruise to see all the fun people. After the cruise we walked around San Diego and enjoyed a little shopping. We then headed up to Todd's grandparents house and stayed the night there and went to the beach and yep you guessed it more shopping, I love to shop! Then we were on the road again and stopped in St. George for one last Honeymoon night! It was a blast and I would love to do it all over again!!

If you look closely you can see our cruise ship, the Elation.

Catalina Island-riding that fun bike!!

Endless amounts of ....happiness, creamy goodness, did I say divine? mmmmmmmmmm

So happy!! This day was amazing!! Words are hard to find....here are a few: beautiful, full of love, exciting, blissful, reality, faith, comforting, and peace. I was so relieved to finally find someone that I can feel like regular ol' me and he loves me for it and I love him for who he is! The day was enchanting. Claybaugh's est. May 16, 2009
