In With the New

Karsten has a new favorite toy...my old stick horse that my dad made for me when I was a little girl. He loves riding it around the house. It's so cute.




My mom has entered a new decade. She had her 60th Birthday on the 16th. We had fun celebrating with a family bowl off. I was rusty, but Kyle and Kim and Jamal proved that they're still keeping up with their league bowling scores. Actually Nev was right up there with them too. How's everybody doing with their 60 day gift?




Kambrie thought it was so cool to take her new doll to show and tell. It really does kinda look like her, don't you think?




We got a new dog...Iron Man. Kolter, our new primary boy loves going on our morning walks with him just as much as he loves going to Primary.

Out With the Old

Kyler finished up his flag football season. It was fun watching him play.



We had a snow day!!!! No school and lots of fun in the back yard. Kambrie had to make a snowman.


Karsten didn't let the cold bother him. He loved helping make the snowman.


I'll probably never see this out my front doors again. How pretty. I LOVE the snow. That's the Montana girl in me I guess.



Christmas came and went all too fast. The kids all had their Christmas wishes granted...Kyler got a DS Lite, Kambrie got her "Look Like Doll", Kolter got a Leapster and Karsten got a dump truck with legos. They all also got wiggle cars. They were the big hit.

It was so busy and hectic this year, but I did get my moment to enjoy the true Spirit of the Season when I got my surprise gift from Danny. He got me the new Willow Tree Nativity. When I first saw this at the store I fell in love with it. I didn't think I would get it though. I love surprises. I just think it's so precious how Mary is holding baby Jesus and how Joseph is standing close, protecting his treasures. When I opened it up and set it up on Christmas Eve, it just took me back to that still night many years ago. Thanks Babe!
