I have been super busy and didn't have time to send out a Christmas Card this year, but if I would have this is what it would have looked like. So here is to all of our friends and family out there--we love you--and hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!
We spent Thanksgiving this year here at home. It was nice to be able to spend the whole weekend together having fun. On Thanksgiving we took the kids up to Bass Pro Shop to meet Santa. They decorate their store really cute, and they had a lot of fun games for the kids to play. The kids were able to talk with Santa, write him a letter, play games, plus look at all the cool animals they had around the place, so they were in heaven. Later Chris fried us up a yummy turkey. It was his first time making a turkey, but it turned out SO good! Plus it only took 40 minutes to cook-so that was nice. Jaxon did great this year and ate EVERYTHING on his plate...can we say AMAZING! Kenli, not so good, she didn't eat anything except a roll. Drey did ok too. Later that night, after we were stuffed, we played games and then watched E.T. The kids loved it! Kenli kept saying, "what a cute little baby alien--can I have one of those?" I don't think I have seen that movie since I was like 8. I am pretty sure my kids really believe in aliens now.
It was wonderful spending time with my family. I am so thankful I know that my Savior loves me. I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful family and that I married such an amazing man. I feel blessed to have been born into a wonderful family and also to have married into such a wonderful family. I truly cannot express all my gratitude to my Savior for my many many blessings.
I can hardly believe that our little guy just turned 1. It seems each year really does go by faster and faster. Drey has been such a joy in our family. He is a happy boy who loves to play with his older brother and sister. He has an awesome little personality and he makes me laugh everyday. He is so smart and I am amazed at what he can do. He is an explorer and he loves to get into EVERYTHING! There is nothing he likes better than to be outside...he even gets his shoes and brings them to me. We had such a great day celebrating his birthday. Jaxon and Kenli loved "helping" him open his presents and blowing out his candle. Thanks to all the grandmas and grandpas that sent him gifts. He loved them!
