First comes LOVE...

Then Comes MARRIAGE...
Then comes the BABY in the BABY CARRIAGE!!

The word is out!!! I'M PREGNANT!! and we couldn't be more excited!! We decided to tell our family for Christmas!! For my family, I made my dad a shirt that said "one good lookin" (on the front) and GRANDPA!! (on the back)! and made Aly a shirt that said AUGUST 2010 (on front) and "I'm going to be a GRANDMA" (on the back!) This will be there first Grandchild so they are really excited, It even brought tears to my dad, which I thought was very sweet or it was just the reality that he is getting old.. haha.. just kidding he is so happy and can't wait to be a GRANDPA!!! Brent took pics with his phone cause we forgot the camera so Ill have him load some pics of there shirts..

For Brent's Family, Its tradition every year to do a Christmas Pinata.. So Figured we would use that. So we made little papers that said things like.. "Brent and Candice are going to be Parents", "Theres a fetus in Candice", "Daddy Brent" etc. Then put binky's and little bottles inside the pinata! So when it got busted open and everyone started grabbing the candy they found the clues! They were all excited as you can tell in the pictures!!

For my Mom's side of the family we just gave a gift to my grandma which was a tile that said "The love of grandparents is so great for grandchildren that there is always room for one more!" She didn't get it right away, I had to make her read it again.. then stood up right in front of her.. Then everyone yelled, Pretty good Christmas gift.

Theres my bump, I'm so glad i don't have to hide it anymore.. I was getting really tired of wearing my white vest everyday.. Baby Bement is due on August 8, 2010! We have been waiting a long time for this and are so excited to become parents, I've been feeling okay, just some nausea.. ALL day and always feeling like I have to eat something so I don't throw up, other then that it hasn't been to bad. BABY BEMENT is ON its WAY!!

Elder Brandon Bement RETURNS home!

Elder Brandon Bement Returned home from serving an LDS mission in Phoenix, AZ, a week before Christmas!! It was so good to see our brother! and Brent couldn't of been more excited!! Good Job Bubs! We are so proud of you! and are glad to have you home!!

..A little Christmas CHEER..

Brent and I went to the Festival of Trees a few weeks ago, Its a tradition that I absolutley adore, Every tree is just mesmerizing and beautiful in its special way. There are so many and not to mention the amazing gingerbread houses, you really have to respect how much time and effort that goes into each gingerbread house and tree. The best part of it is that all profits go straight to primary children's. There was a gingerbread castle that was simply amazing!! it was going for $1200!! which honestly is ridiculous until you hear that they spent 2500 hours building it! We enjoyed walking around and browsing through all the trees and decor, and watching the cute little dancers on the stage, they are just adorable. It makes me miss teaching dance. What a great date night. ps.. sorry, i really took pics of like every tree.. but my computer takes way to long to load..
The 2nd Annual UGLY SWEATER PARTY.. simply rocks.. Thanks to all who came! We had a great time and got some pretty awesome gingerbread houses out of it, even a Eiffel tower and a white house..including a taffy Obama, pretty hilarious until Scott ate him.. We love spending time with our friends and think there is no better way then being dressed up in ridiculous sweaters and lots of spaghetti, burned garlic bread (oops, my fault) and lots and lots of candy! Until next year.. Merry CHRISTMAS!
