The Hill Family

A few weekends ago Natalie asked me to do her hair for the Winter Formal Dance at her school. While I was living in Utah I would dream of the day that I could do her hair for school dances and now that I'm living in Texas my dream became a reality. Ok, so I'm being a bit sarcastic, but seriously this meant a lot to me. Being able to do her hair is just one example of many of why I love being back in Texas close to my family again. This hairstyle was inspired by the beautiful Dietz sisters who wore their hair in low side buns as the bride's maids in Whitney's wedding.

My dad's house during Christmas time was so festive. I'm sad to say that I didn't decorate for Christmas this year, so I had to go to my dad's house to feel the Christmas cheer. Needless to say I was over there A LOT during the month of December! Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree! And the Stockings were hung by the chimney with care. You better watch out, You better not cry... You better not pout, I'm telling you why... Santa Clause is coming to town! This year I want to dad and the kid's Ward Christmas Party. Wynston and Garrett were SO excited that Santa was there! Garrett Wynston Garrett & Wynston After the Christmas party all the kids hung out in the Living Room watching a movie. Natalie & Garrett Nate & Wynston Christmas Eve was so much fun! We all spent the evening at dad's house. We ate a delicious ham dinner followed by the famous Falk Family Nativity Production. This is one of those traditions I remember doing every year as a c...

Last night we had family night at dad's house. Usually all the bigger kids come, but I was the only "big kid" there last night. It was still a lot of fun! We ate yummy goulash and corn bread for dinner and then for our activity/dessert we made cute little turkeys! This is such a fun, cute thing to make around Thanksgiving. Happy Turkey day to everyone!

My new favorite thing is Taylor Swift! I have loved Taylor ever since her first song came on the radio and I love her CD Fearless, so it's not really a new thing, but, she recently came out with 6 NEW songs! I came home from work last week and Jason started playing her new songs and I was so excited! Pretty much everyday after work I need my Taylor "fix" and I turn on itunes and listen to her new songs. They are so cute and fun to sing along to! I also love her because she seems so sweet and innocent! I decided to change the playlist on our blog to play a couple of her new songs. So if you are a fan of Taylor and you haven't heard them yet, you should turn up your speakers and enjoy! (Four of the songs they didn't have, so I'm going to keep checking to see if they get them.) Also, Taylor won lots of awards last night on the CMA's, one of which was Entertainer of the Year! So many artists work years and years to recieve that honor. Taylor made his...

We didn't do anything special on Halloween day, but the Monday before Halloween we went to dad's house and carved pumpkins! It was a lot of fun to do this with all the kiddos! I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

I know, I know, I have been really horrible at updating my blog since I moved to Texas. I hope you all haven't totally given up on me! Here is what we've been up to over the last couple of months.
