Christmas Traditions

 I love Christmas time!  Everyone is just a little kinder, more generous, and loving.  I also love that we get to focus on Christ and families!  Some of our favorite traditions are; acting out the nativity (the boys and Jer played shepherds at our ward Christmas party), drinking hot chocolate while we go look at Christmas lights (we especially like the lights at the Phineas and Ferb house), walking around and looking at the lights and the Christus at the Temple, and making Christmas cookies and doing secret santa.

Thaksgiving

 The party never stops at the Young's house!  We celebrated Thanksgiving, birthdays, Christmas, and had Hailey's blessing all in one weekend!  Wow...it was a blast....even though most of us got a stomach bug on the last day.  The kids loved being together and we of course had a great time.  Being with family is the best!  I miss living so close to them and treasure every moment I get with them now!  We were spoiled and feel very blessed to be a part of this family!

Hailey's Blessing

 Hailey Jewels was blessed on November 29th by her father Jeramiah at my parents house is Clearfield, Utah.  It was a beautiful blessing and talked about what a joy she is to our family and that she will be a light to all she meets.  I am so grateful for my Hailey and all of my family.  I am also thankful for all the family that came to support us and brought food as well.  I have the best family ever!

Mancation and Girls Visit

Jeremy and our boys decided to go on a Mancation with Nick and Tanner to San Diego to see an Aggie Football game.  They had a lot of fun cheering on the Aggies (even though they got destroyed) and then spent the next day at the San Diego Zoo and then the beach.  The boys loved every second and had fun with their dad.  Sheryl came down with Ella and we had a fun girls weekend as well.  We went out to eat, had dance parties, gave pedicures and manicures, and stayed up late watching movies.  I am so glad that we have our besties Nick and Sheryl in our lives and that our kids are best friends too!

Halloween

 Avengers Assemble!  This year for Halloween we all dressed up as super heros!  We had Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, Batman, Super Girl, and the Scarlet Witch.  We celebrated by going to a neighborhood block party and then went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.  The kids got a ton of candy and had a great time.  They also loved carving the pumpkins with dad.  Any holiday where they pass out candy for fun equals a great time for my kids!
