Christmas in Napa Valley, CA

We spent Christmas in Christian's home town, Napa Valley. It was so much fun!! I love visiting with his family. We took a tour of the Valley, went to the Jelly Belly Factory and went christmas Caroling on Christmas Eve, an Anderson Family Tradition. I have a lot of pictures, so be sure to look at them all, and Happy New Year!



Beautiful Napa Valley, The Grandview. You can't really see it very well. But the valley does consist of Vineyards, promise! ;)

My New Hair





Ok, so I have probably done a dozen new things to my hair this year! Here is my hair story. I usually get a bleach weave done on my hair since I was 17 years old. So I really don't know what my natural hair color is anymore, especially since I've been pregnant. In may I had my hair weaved again before I moved to Colorado. Once I got here, I had it done again by a new friend in my ward that does hair. Since my hair does have natutal curl in it, I get it permed to enhance my curls, so she did that for me. Then after a while, after I had my baby, My hair was getting long and was still just driving me nuts!! It was growing so fast that it was hard to keep it up. So I decided to have Marylyn bleach it ALL completely and cut it. I was not expecting her to cut it so short, but it grew on me. After 1 day I looked in the mirror and it was almost orange!! Because it was my pregnancy hair still it had a different reaction to the chemicals. So she got me in that afternoon to tone it down some. It looked so much better. But of course my roots grew out again and it was such a drastic difference my natural hair looked black. Soooo, my new friends "encouraged" me :D, to dye it back to my natural hair color with some blonde highlights. It sounded exciting and we all wanted to do it ourselves. I did however try calling my stylist, marylyn for advice before proceeding, but she was out of town. I was so eager to do it that I went ahead and dyed it myself anyway. I chose an ash blonde, well needless to say I got all ASH and NO Blonde!!!! It was so gray. Other people didn't think it looked bad, but trust me it was! So I made an appointment with marylyn to fix it. She had to keeo going darker because they gray wasn't covering. Finally she was able to get rid of the gray, but it was a dark chocolate brown, with some red tones. I went in a week later to get it highlighted and the color, like it was supposed to, had lightened. My friend Jessica was going to be out of town and wanted to see it, so she told me to post it on my blog so she could see, Well, Jess, here ya go. And I do have to say I LOVE IT!! She straightened it just for fun! It has been 5 years since I last had it straight. But I think I like my curly hair and it is a good thing, because it is so much easier. So how do I look?

New Outfit...So Cute!!






I finally put most of her 0-3 month clothes away and took out her 3-6 months. Some of them are still a little big. This one however fit her pretty good and it was so cute! I also put her pink hat on too. I just can't believe how beautiful she is! I know every mom says that their child is the most beautiful, but mine REALLY IS the most beuatiful little girl in the world!! ;) I feel so much joy every time I look at her and sometimes I cry just thinking how amazing it is that she is mine and what an angel she truly is! Christian thought she looked really cute with her hat on! So once again here are some more pictures of my little angel. She is now 3 months old, I can't believe it!
