2010 Christmas Card

Here is our Christmas card this year!!

Christmas Time

I started this post WEEKS ago, and have not had the time to come back to it til now. Here are some pictures from a few of our Christmas festivities!

Our Ward did a 'Rockin Around the Christmas Tree' Party. It was really fun! We had fun dressing up for the occasion.

This picture was actually taken in November... Before Thanksgiving. It snowed for one afternoon. I hurried and put a Santa Hat on Wesley and we ran outside for a picture. I wanted a picture with snow for the scrapbook. Yes I'm a nerd.
Two days after Thanksgiving we went to Thornton's and got our Christmas tree. It started out really great, and of course by the end the boys were in tears. Typical, but that's okay.

Every year Lori a Gingerbread house birthday party. It is so fun we love it! Every year I say THIS is our best gingerbread house yet. Logan thinks they always look the same.

Sew Cute

Logan's sister Heidi made Lori and Verne a really nice quilt a few years ago. I love to use it when I'm over at their house. In October I told Lori I would love to make a big quilt like that someday for my house and she said, 'Let's do it!' We got started a week or two later. I have always been intimidated by sewing. Maybe it's because you have to use a pattern and a 'machine.'

Anyways, it was a lot of fun to make... and so far we have been getting lots of use out of it which is what I wanted! Thanks Lori!!!!

Thankful

For months and months we have been looking forward to my Aunt, Uncle and cousins coming to visit. (The Hirschi's) We had lots of fun activities planned and my house was almost cleaned spotless. I was counting down the days for them to arrive for Thanksgiving.... but the horrible weather ruined it all! They drove for a couple hours and then made the wise decision to head back to Idaho Falls. We were all so disappointed... but I have to say that I am THANKFUL that they made it home, safe and sound.

We still had a nice Thanksgiving. We did the traditional 'Turkey Bowl' at Big Al's with the May's and dinner with my family. I also have to stop and say how Thankful I am to live where we live, close to both our parents and most of our siblings. (We miss you James') Most people would have to do a lot of traveling to be around so much family. We are so lucky and for that I am so Thankful!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
