Come Let Us Adore Him

I had to add this picture to our Christmas posts. Our cat, Regan, is often found guarding the baby Jesus right in the middle of the manger scene:)

Christmas in the SNOW

Despite the huge blizzard we drove in for 7 hours to get to my mom and dad's house in Utah, Daniel, Tavin and I had a wonderful Christmas. We are just happy we are still alive! During our drive, we past 7 cars that had run off the road and at times, we couldnt see 3 feet in front of us. Tavin had a great time opening presents and being with family though. Thank you everyone for his great gifts.

Snow Bunnies

One of the funnest things we got to do this Christmas vacation is go skiing with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Daniel and I took turns snow boarding while the other watched Tavin. We haven't been able to get to the skii slopes for 2 years so it was so fun!

The Best Present of all!

Here is Daniel and my present for Christmas and for life!

Facts about Saint Anthony in the Winter...

Well we found out that in Saint Anthony, the plowers wait until the storm is completely done before they plow the streets. So, while my family from CA was visiting, we got stuck! Also, in Saint Anthony, we have to shovel off our roofs in order to keep all the feet of snow we get from causing damage. Sometimes to keep things interesting we jump off the roof into the big pile we make. And only in Saint Anthony would it snow enough that my dog can completely disappears when she goes out in our backyard.

Big Fat Man in Red

This was as good as it got when it came to getting Tavin to sit with or even be near the big fat guy in red. At least he wasn't crying, right!-As long as Santa didn't touch him or talk to him.

We Love Visitors!

Last weekend my sister kimberly and her boyfriend Kenny came to visit and we loved it! We had tons of fun making gingerbread houses, going to a christmas craft show where there was a free sleigh ride, and going to a christmas show at BYU-Idaho. We also shared pictures with Kenny of when we were younger-oh the good old days. Tavin loves his Auntie.

Oh Christmas Tree

This year was the first year our family put up our very own Christmas tree and it was so fun! We put Christmas music on and had fun piecing together all the ornaments, ribbon, lights, etc. to make the final product. Tavin LOVED it when we turned off the lights to see the Christmas tree glow.
