Our Little Christmas Tree

Matt received his very first "Friends" magazine last night and he was so excited to decorate a paper Christmas tree on it. We got to clip all the little gospel related ornaments on the magazine and tape them all on a cute Christmas tree. Matt was so thrilled to decorate it.

This is the cute paper Christmas tree from Friends magazine - we put it up on our fridge! :)
When I asked Matt to pose for the picture, he gave me this really silly smile. Still cute. :)
Tonight, our family got to decorate a little Christmas tree. It's not real big. We decided to decorate the little one we already had and maybe get a bigger one if we wanted to. But I actually really like this little tree. So I think we will keep it and get a bigger one next year. Matt loves our little tree! He helped decorating it by hanging all our precious and special ornaments on the tree. He got to put the star on top of the tree too! He was really anxious to do it and he did it quite well.

He wanted to put the star on top right away!


When Matt finally got to put the star up on the tree.
I really LOVE this picture of Matt and Sean - SO CUTE

What's Happening -

I cannot believe I haven't really blogged about the Bunton affairs in two and a half months! You darn facebook! :) I have been updating and posting pictures on facebook more - so I feel bad for not posting anything on here. I have been keeping a personal journal, too, so I guess I have good reasons for not paying attention to this blog. I just wanted to update really quick before I forget.

So many things have happened since September! I will list them by chronological order.

1. We have finally moved into our own place! It's a rental - we can't afford buying a house yet, but maybe next year. We love our new place! It's got 3 beds and 2 baths, a perfect size for our little family. We love the wood floor all around the house. Matt loves his new room - he calls it "cool room". We just got more furniture so the house looks more like a home, looking all cozy and cute. Our guestroom is Asian themed - we've got some Japanese dolls and swords. I also hung a cool tiger picture thingy my mom knitted years ago. It's got a meaning behind it so I love it.

2. I am finally pregnant! We found out in early August. We were very excited because we had been trying almost a year. It was kind of funny because I had had my pap smear appointment with my gynecologist just a couple of days earlier and I had told him that I wasn't getting pregnant. The doctor actually "promised" me that I'd get pregnant in the next three months and also predicted saying "Maybe you're pregnant now!" Well, he was right! We just found out that we are having a baby "BOY". We are super excited. We will be naming him "Aaron" but I am not sure about the middle name - It's our tradition to give our kids Korean middle name so that my parents can call them by their Korean name. I have no idea what name - I have a couple of names that I really like but one sounds a lot like Matt's middle name and the other one, Sean's not too fond of because he says it sounds too "girly" even though it's not girly at all in Korean. So we'll see.

This is our little baby boy - he looks a lot like Matt :) He was doing a little peace sign with his fingers. It was funny. I wish I had that in a picture.
3. Matt is POTTY TRAINED!! I am really excited about that. It didn't take him awful long to figure it out. He was unwilling to do it at first, the first three days were just a nightmare for both me and Matt, and even Sean at night. Once I had to have him sit on the toilet for three hours. I had to be really strong not to let him off the toilet and I made sure his legs weren't asleep every 10 minutes or so but after that, Matt wanted to go potty and actually go pee and poop. Now, it's been over a month since he got potty trained and he does so well and hasn't had an accident during day time. He rarely has an accident overnight but I'm not going to worry about that right now. And I cannot believe I don't have a picture of him with a little potty or something.

4. We finally took a little family trip down to San Diego! It was so much fun! It was definitely needed! We went to Seaworld/SD Zoo/Wild Animal Park/Island, etc. We did lots of fun things and Matt loved it, too. We got to try a couple of Korean restaurants there, too. They were all so good!

At Seaworld! Matt was amazed by all the sharks swimming above him.
Before a Shamu show started
Matt's absolute favorite at Seaworld was this. :)
Matt was a little reluctant to run and give Elmo a big hug but he managed to take a picture with him and Abby.
This was the best show ever!
Downtown San Diego. We went there from an island on a ferry. Matt loved it.
San Diego Zoo
It was a really good Greek place at an island we stopped by.
You can see downtown SD in the background. I liked the island a lot.
Before we got on a ferry. Matt was super excited. I can't rotate this picture on blogger. Weird.
At Mormon Battalion Museum in SD. It was such a neat place.
Another one at the museum.

Matt pretended he was scared of the lion in the background.
A nice family picture! 
5. We got a great family picture done and it turned out pretty cute. Here's one of us and one of Matt.



6. I got a new piano! Sean's grandparents gave one to us. Sean went down to Bakersfield this past weekend and he picked up a piano and a bed. We're excited. I am so looking forward to practicing more. I taught myself how to play the piano back in Korea and I know I am not great at it but with practice, I know I will get better. :) 

I can't really think of anything else that's happened. I'm still blogging my recipes and such. I've been reading Pres. Monson's biography on Kindle and it is such a neat book. I love every page of it!! We'll be celebrating Christmas at home this year. We're quite excited. 

Merry Christmas!
