New Years

 Happy New Years!!!  Can it really be 2013.  Time is flying by!  We had a great New Year's Eve celebration with my siblings and their families.  We ate pizza, played games, had a dance party, and laughed until 2:00am.  We had a great 2012 and hope for an even better 2013.

Christmas

 I love Christmas!  Not only do we get to spend time with those we love and give and get presents.  We get to focus on our Savior and we get to spend time giving service to others and helping those less fortunate.  I love the spirit of Christmas and the magic of Santa Clause and the focus on others.  I am so grateful for my Savior and that he came in to this world in the most humblest of circumstances to show us how to live and love and make it possible for us to be reunited with our Father in Heaven and with our families again!  We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  The kids were spoiled once again and Jeremy and I loved watching their faces and how excited they got for the gifts.  Santa brought Skylanders, Batman, Spiderman, and a sled!  We were able to go to my parents Christmas afternoon and spend time with my family, which was great.  This weekend we will be going up to Logan to spend time with Jeremy's family and look forward to that.  Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!

 

Snow

 Wow...it sure has been snowing at our house and the boys have been loving it!  They have been sledding a few times (of course I forgot my camera!) but I did get some cute pictures of them playing in the snow.  Their favorite thing to do is to eat the snow and build snowmen and then demolish them.  We even bundled Juliet up and let her sit in the snow for a second.  Winter is so much more fun with kids around!!!  I also am adding some cute pictures I took of Juliet...I don't know how she is growing so fast!

Gingerbread houses

 As a tradition, we always make gingerbread houses, but this year we tried something new.....actually building the houses with wood and nails and stickers instead of candy.  We had a great time building the houses and the boys loved hammering in the nails and wearing their cool safety goggles and aprons.
