Nursery Graduation

This is McKay with his best friend, Tyler. They are inseperable. McKay will follow and do whatever Tyler does. Tyler, you better be a good example.
Here are all the new Sunbeams. All boys and one girl. That is one crazy class. Unfortunately (and fortunately), I'm not their teacher anymore. I am in the Primary Presidency. I'm excited.

We've FINALLY closed!

Yay! After a month and a half of waiting, we have a home. Now we await carpet installation before we move in. My parents were kind enough to take the kids for the weekend so that we could get ready for the big move. We've been painting and cleaning and packing all week.

Sorry, no pictures....yet.

Has it really been 7 years?

Yep. Sometimes it feels like it has been a lot longer than that, but we're happy! Yay for us.

We're celebrating in spring because weather will be more in our favor. We're going to do a coastal road trip. I'm excited!

we had a holly, jolly one

****SPOILER ALERT*****



Santa Claus goes to my church. That's a real beard and he goes around bringing gifts to kids in the area. So you see, we believe in Santa.

Maren is slightly leery of the costume. The funny thing is that she LOVES him when he's not dressed in Red....I don't think she even recognized him.



McKay asked for "a brown horse on a stick"

He even gave Spencer and I a toy!

This is the PetCo Santa--totally non-realistic St. Nick

Yay for family dinners with cousins!




We always do the barn on Christmas Eve. We seriously have the funnest Christmas Eve ever. It couldn't get better. We act out the nativity and sing Christmas Carols in a barn/"stable".

Barn+yummy food+great company= The perfect Christmas Party.

My whole fam was together so this Christmas was wonderful.
