All right, time for Part 2 of December! Up first is our visit to Temple Square with all of my siblings and their families. As usual, our attempt at getting a photo of all three of us is, well, interesting to say the least. These two can never quite be serious in photos! LOL

All the cousins checking out the reflecting pond. 

…and our quick detour to the Macys windows. It’s so cool to see what they can make out of candy! 

Ti with his gift from the Watkins Family Christmas Party. He was so excited about getting Mickey and a matching cape! 

A Jamba Juice and a Christmas movie on the Hallmark Channel. Pretty much how I wanted to spend every night. 🙂

Getting our craft on! 

Toward the beginning of the month our elf surprised Titan with a basketful for projects he could do through out the month. This basket was a life saver during the day when Broc was at work.

One of the nights Broc had to work late we busted out a Gingerbread Train Kit. 

Ti putting the finishing touches on the train! 

My main craving all month, the smothered bean and cheese burrito from Guadalahonkeys. I SO wish they were here in Colorado as well! 
My work Christmas party this year was held at Fleming’s Steakhouse at the Gateway in Utah. The night of the event my mom raced home from work to watch Titan for us and we made our way down town for the dinner. Come to find out, I had written down the wrong time for the dinner and we were an hour early! Looks like I’m already starting to develop a “prego” brain.
Of course,  there are far worse things than to have an extra hour to spend walking around the Gateway. 🙂 Being there early did allowed us to sneak into one of my all time favorite home decor stores Z Gallery. Oh the fun I could have in that store if we weren’t still on our med school budget!

Another thing I managed to fit in while we were in Utah was a quick trip to the Brick House Spa & Salon for a facial and mani/pedi. My work gave me Spa Week gift certificate back in May and I had yet to use it. Every time I went to schedule something other plans got in the way. So I finally told Broc that I was going to use it in December…no excuses!

Turned out, my mini spa morning turned into a fun girls day with my mom. She picked me up after my appointment and we went to dinner, grabbed ice cream at Coldstone and then saw The Book Thief and Philomena while the boys hung out together at home.

Gotta love family parties! At our Trost Family party everyone brings a $10 gift and then we do a big gift exchange. Broc ended up becoming the proud owner of a new Duck Dynasty Hat and duck call. 

This is a totally random picture but it was a big part of our December! LOL We turned in Titan’s passport info at the beginning of November and were told we would have it in plenty of time for our trip to Puerto Rico on December 27th. We ended up getting the passport literally two days before Christmas! A mini Christmas miracle indeed! Apparently the passport office will only give you info 72 hours before your trip and then you have to give them your whole life story in order for them to ensure it gets to you in time. 😉

Baking Christmas Sugar Cookies with cousins!

Ti in his reindeer antlers he made at Christmas Eve Camp with all of his cousins. (Basically Christmas Eve Camp is where we get all the cousins together and do lots of Christmas projects with them to help pass the time…)

Titan apparently takes Christmas BINGO very seriously.

Making reindeer food to put out on the lawn!
And it’s Super Titan! Christmas Eve we ended up seeing Saving Mr. Banks and Frozen with my parents and my brother’s family. It was super last minute, but ended up being really fun! Titan saw this photo op in the lobby of the theater and just had to have a photo.

Titan all dressed up for Christmas Eve. Cutest Christmas Elf ever! 🙂

Titan and all his cousins on Christmas morning waiting to go downstairs to see what Santa brought! I can’t believe how big all of these kids are getting!

Looks like Santa did indeed come! 😉

After opening everything from Santa and having breakfast, it was time to open gifts from family. Let’s just say someone’s a little spoiled! 🙂

…and Baby Parker received their first Christmas present. A DVD with family history on it from Great Grandpa Kimball. (All the grandkids received one and apparently Baby Parker didn’t get left out.) 🙂

Ti looking through some fun books he got from Grandma Cindy.

My contribution to our Christmas lunch. 

Last but not least, my boys! Both very excited that Broc got Munchkin for Christmas! Turns out we didn’t get any photos of all three of us together on Christmas, but I was just happy to make it through the day and that we got the photos we did.
And, that about sums up our December. Later on Christmas day we had dinner with Broc’s family and then we left Utah super early on the 26th to drive back home to Colorado so we could pack for our cruise and be to the airport super early on the 27th. We also had to be back in Colorado Springs by 5:00pm so that we could get my prescription for Zofran before we left to go out of town again…something about they can only prescribe 30 days at a time. I don’t think I’ve ever been so worried about getting home in time in my life. I was so worried we wouldn’t make it and then I would be super sick for our entire cruise! Luckily, traffic, weather, and time were on our side and we made it with 20 minutes to spare. Then, we had plenty of time to unpack our car, unpack our suitcases and pack everything back up again, but this time with summer clothes and cruise gear! 🙂
