We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends. We have such a great time just hanging out and doing things around town.

McKade is almost one!

Time to Decorate for Christmas

So December came and that can only mean one thing...time to decorate! We put up our tree and some other fun things!

Thanksgiving in Seattle

Over Thanksgiving we went to Bothell and had a blast! It was very eventful and busy! We started out visiting with friends and I went into Kari's 3rd grade classroom to meet everyone! They were very cute and she is a great teacher! Then we had a game night with friends from high school and college, it was good to see everyone again! Then it was time for Thanksgiving! We had a great day getting ready and enjoying family. My mom and I got the decorations and side dishes ready and Rachel cooked the turkey! The day after Thanksgiving my mom and I were off to shop! We got lots of good sales and had a blast. On Saturday we went to the annual Apple Cup game. It was cold but very fun with chill and all! On Sunday my mom and I went downtown to look at all of the decorations, do a little black boot shopping, got to Palaminos restaurant, and see WHITE CHRISTMAS! It was so much fun!

Wine Auction

This year we went to the Holy Rosary Wine Auction. We had a blast with many friends and many drinks between all of us! The generosity at the auction is truely amazing.

Early Christmas with the Clausens

Since Rob, Rachel, Remi, and Belle left early this year for Arizona we had an early Christmas in November. We had a great turkey dinner, read the Christmas story, and opened some presents! We love them so much

Movie Night

Everyone needs a good relaxing movie night! Popcorn, treats, blankets, a good movie, and best friends!

Halloween!!!

We celebrated Halloween at Ty and Kelsey's haunted house! Well it is not really haunted but Kels and Ty did a great job decorating! We had a great time in our costumes and with our friends. Kels, Sus, and I were social butterflies. The boys were Snuggie models. Cute little Kaders stopped by in his lion suit!

Kels was busy decorating away!

No one went hungry that is for sure!

The garage was a haunted one!

Corn Maze and Carving Pumpkins

It was almost Halloween so it was time to go through a corn maze and carve pumpkins! We went up to Rexburg and found our way through the corn maze...well the boys did and the girls more walked in circles! Then we went to "U-Pick-It" and got pumpkins to carve. We went home to our house and at Papa Murphy's and then carved the pumpkins! It was time for the harvest season!

Just yakin on a bone!

It was cold!

Carving Time

Kelsey's first time carving a pumpkin!

All done!

How beautiful!
