My handsome husband!
I made shrimp alfredo, one of Kyle's favorite meals, for his birthday dinner!
He loved it!
Blowing out all 23 candles! In one breath!
He got a new razor from his mom and dad!
A trimmer from Grandpa and Grandma Nagel.
I gave him a new watch! It was lots of fun celebrating his birthday and having family over to our home!
All dressed up in our Christmas outfits for church!
Kyle's stocking stuffers.

Mom got us ornaments when she went on her cruise to the Bahamas!
Kyle loves Notre Dame and got new shirts from my mom!
Thanks mom for my very own tool kit!
Mom also gave us diploma frames from IWU! They are awesome!
All of us kids got a Wii!!!!! Too bad it stays in Indiana... :(
Baby Cousin Tate! He's so sweet!!!
Mom and all her kids!
My crazy family! But that's us!!! We had a great time playing games and hanging out!
Christmas was lots of fun and definitely one I'll remember forever! Many new memories were made and lots of old memories relived! We hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday season!
It was a cold night but lots of fun! We enjoyed experiencing it all together!
There were not a lot of animals out but the ones that were out were the most active I have ever seen them. There were four wolves and they walked all around their habitat.
All of the trees were decorated and I thought this purple tree was really pretty!
We loved seeing the bald eagles! They were all fluffy and ready for winter!
The lights were incredible! There were millions of lights lit up all over the place. Some of them were even set to music! 
The tiger was definitely a highlight of our night! When you go to the zoo during the summer he is normally just laying around because it is so hot but not this night. He came right up to the front and just watched the people! It was incredible to see him up close!
More of the pretty lights!
This ice sculpture was pretty cool! A little elf stacking presents!
This tree was decorated with 27,000 lights! (More than the tree in Rockefeller Center) And I thought my tree had a lots of lights on it!!! It was beautiful!
We are so excited to celebrate our first Christmas together as Mr. & Mrs. Mock!
We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
Looking pretty bare
All put together.... it's so huge in our little living room!
Adding the lights, my mom has made me crazy and I couldn't just put a couple hundred on.....
I put 2200 lights on our tree! But oh how it sparkles!!!
Adding the ornaments... it was fun to do this with Kyle!
I wanted us both to put the angel on top of the tree... so we used the self timer and I made a jump for it and we did it!!!!!
There it is!!! Our first tree together as a married couple! Kyle didn't really care what colors our tree was so I picked pink and silver!
We bought this ornament at Disney World on our honeymoon!!! I love it!
I bought this when I saw the Lion King!
We are so thankful for our families and are blessed by all that God has done for us!
Baseball and pink! They help make the perfect tree!
Our stockings that I painted! I can't wait to have a fireplace to hang them on!
Our table even got a few decorations!
An up close shot of the centerpiece.
Outside looking into our apartment!
Jingle bells on the door!
It's okay to say Merry Christmas!
The holidays are my favorite time of year! You get to spend lots of time with family and friends and decorate your home! But the best part is that we are celebrating our Lord's birth and all that He has done for us! Kyle and I are so blessed and are very thankful! Remember why we celebrate Christmas and never stop being thankful!
Here is our angel! She looks incredible on top of our tree. If this is what the angels looked like that came to the shepherds I would have been stunned too!
We ate dinner at this cute little diner called "Mom's Diner". Our food was good even though we had a weird pizza with pickles on it.
Enjoying our dinner and talking together! It's still so much fun to date even after you are married!
Grandpa Holder turned 70 on November 14! He is an amazing man and we are so thankful for him! We met my family in Fort Wayne and had a birthday dinner at Red Lobster. It was great to see my family again since we live 2 hours away and don't see them as often.
Our youngest sister Jessie also had a birthday this month. She turned Sweet 16 on November 18! I was able to be there for her surprise party! Oh what a fun night with teenagers, lol!!!
The weekend before Thanksgiving I was able to go see the Lion King with my mom, sisters, Amanda and Janell! It was incredible and would definitely see it again! Thanks Mom! And Janell for an amazing dinner!
