On to December...

December will have to be a couple different posts since I have alot of Christmas pictures.
During the beginning of the month we got our Christmas tree.....

It was so fun to do it in the snow! We usually go to House Mountain to cut our own but we ran short on time this year so we bought one from Clapps Chapel Church and donate money to families who needed it.

Rylan thought he could play golf in the snow...







Then we tried to get some good Christmas pictures. Mainly for our Christmas card, I'm not sure I used any of them. They turned out ok.




As most importantly, Brandon got Baptized! I was so proud of him! This was a big step in his Christian walk, and a great story to go with it.






So that was the first half of the month, more to come ....
Can't wait to get caught up on all this so I can talk about current things!

Christmas (Part 1)

We celebrate Christmas everywhere!
Before our big trip we had a couple of Christmas' early. Since we would be gone a couple days before and after, we had to celebrate with our other 'families' a little early.

November and Thankfulness

Again, behind! Ok, here is November...First we spent some time with friends that we haven't seen in forever. Their son is about a month and a half younger than Rylan, but seems a little bigger! They played really well and Rylan would have been thrilled to take his train set home!








Next we spent a weekend in the mountains with some family :) Everyone gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving a little early. Everyone meaning seventeen of us! It was nice to relax and spend time with people we love. Oh and to eat some really good food! Thank you everyone for the food, fun and laughs!























And last, certainly not least, was real Thanksgiving. We went and visited friends and family and enjoyed our time off from work.

Krista's first family gathering in her house...





Thanksgiving day we went out and played a little before running the roads.







Church family:


Oh, and Rylan got a haircut...still hates getting one!




This year I am thankful for all the blessings God has given us. We are blessed to have each other, to still have our jobs and enough to provide for our family. We are thankful for our friends and family. I am personally thankful for my husband and my son. They are my life and I feel so special to have them. Thank you to all of you who had a part in our lives; we love you and are thankful for all you do for us.
