Christmas Morning

Eli Meets Santa!

We went to our neighborhood "Breakfast with Santa" and Eli got to meet Santa for the first time!  It went better than I would have expected, but you can see Eli's train of thought in the photos we snapped.

So far, so good.  Eli is given a candy cane and ready to tell Santa that he has been a good boy this year

 Soon, he realizes that there is a bunch of kids laughing and looking at him so he gets a little nervous

 And finally the crying begins.  Santa sure looks anxious to give him back to mom.

Can't wait til next year!

Let The Battle End

Well, once again we made it through November!  November brings many things to the Whitchurch home - our wedding anniversary, cold weather, Thanksgiving, etc. However, around here it also means football . . and more importantly, the Holy War!  The war between good and Utah.  This means the beginning of cat fights, snide comments, 8 hours of football every Saturday (thank heaven for bye weeks), I could go on and on.

I grew up going to BYU football games. Every Saturday, BYU football was on TV. Papa Burton has had season tickets for who knows how long and one of the first songs I ever learned was the BYU fight song. Zach on the other hand literally grew up feet from the University of Utah. The Whitchurch Family lives, breathes, and sleeps Utah football.  Now that we have a son, our passion for our teams seemed to be escalated even more.  We are anxiously awaiting the day when Eli is able to decide for himself which school he will cheer for.

 This is what we decided on for Saturday's game. . .  and look how happy he looks. 

So farewell to the last ‘real’ season of the BYU/Utah rivalry in the Whitchurch abode.  Although they will still be playing each other, it won't be quite the same. . .It's probably a good thing!

Thankful For. . .

This little guy



4 Months Old!

Our baby is 4 months old today!  Crazy how fast time flies.  Eli is such a sweet baby and we have loved watching him hit every milestone thus far. 

Eli posing with his "E" 

 (actually a little something Zach had from going to East High, but it works perfect for Eli right?)

 I love nothing more than the 'gummy' smiles he gives us every day

 Eli is very alert and is always watching everything we do very closely.  LOVE those big blue eyes.

One of Eli's favorite people bought him this toy that he absolutely LOVES.  You know who you are and we thank you for everything you do for us!
