Sledding

We went with some friends to Mt. Hood to go sledding today. The mountains are so beautiful covered in so much snow! We all had so much fun, we will have to go back tomorrow...no really.

Christmas Eve

 

We started the day off at Biscuits for breakfast...we were so full we didn't need to eat until dinner with the P's.

It was such a great night, delicious food, good friends, singing and jammies. After the party we came home and got the kiddos to bed and got ready for Christmas morning.

Christmas Party

We had our ward Christmas party this morning, it was so fun. We were all in jammies, got to eat sweet rolls and hot cocoa, sing Christmas songs, watch Christmas movies and see Santa! What could be better? I was in charge of taking the photos with Santa for everyone, it was fun to see the different reactions of the kids, it wasn't that long ago bubby was screaming in this Santa's face. Good times.

No Girls Allowed

We had some friends over for a few hours yesterday, which meant 4 girls to 2 boys. Bubby and his friend were getting frustrated that the girls weren't doing what they wanted, so he came in the office and got some paper. He kept saying, "no girls allowed" as he was making it. I didn't see it until last night when we were putting the kids to bed, we all got a good laugh.

O Christmas Tree

 As soon as the kids got home from school we went to get our Christmas tree at Furrow Farm. We drove back to the U-cut section and found it within minutes. Russ got to cutting and had it down quick.

 With my Mama in town we were able to get the lights and ornaments up quick, it was decorated that night and we've been enjoying sight and smell of the tree ever since.

Weekend

 Last weekend we were spoiled with a grandparent visit for Jenna's baptism. Grandma Ruth brought the kids their Christmas gifts, she made quilts for each of them. They are so snuggly and soft they have been using them ever since. Thank you Grandma!

 Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Larry came out to see us. We got to do a little shopping and decorating of the Christmas tree. It was so much fun to have them out, we wish it could have been for much longer!

Baptism

 

Jenna was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a week ago. Our parents were able to come out and be with us too, what a treat! 

The weekend was so special, Jenna was so sweet and looked so beautiful.

After the baptism we got together with our framily for dinner at our home. The whole weekend was so perfect and we are so grateful for our friends and family who support and love us.
