HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

This holiday season, I feel I have so much to be thankful for. This year has brought many changes to our family. We have moved, had a new baby, missed many family members, and met many new friends. I am grateful for the trials and opportunities that have come our way. I see so many people struggle, and it really makes me appreciate the things I have. I love being a wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend.

Blah, blah, Blah..... But I just wanted to take this time to let you all know how grateful I am to have you in my life.

I leave for Utah on Friday ( 2 DAYS ROB!!) and will be back in January for a lot of posting I am sure! :)

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!!

until next year..........

GINGERBREAD HOUSES





This year for our annual gingerbread house decorating, we invited a few friends. We had so much fun, and our kids LOVE all these kids! It is so fun to watch all the kids design their houses, sleds, trains, etc. :)


It was just as fun watching Katie decorate her train while Eric had his own sled! ( I'm sure their kids were around somewhere :) It was pretty funny.


I think everyone had a good time eating ALL the candy. Unfortunately, there was too much left behind..... Well, my family has pretty much taken care of it already. Gotta love the holidays!

SANTA




Our ward had a pajama breakfast for our Christmas party. The kids' loved wearing their jammies, eating pancakes, and singing Christmas songs.

They especially LOVED Santa. It was a good year. No one was afraid of Santa. I'm sure next year will be a different story!
