Christmas

We had a great evening looking at lights. This year we decided to go to the Christmas Village in Ogden. We ended the night with our favorite tradition of getting Krispy Kreme doughnuts.

Below are a few pictures from Christmas morning. We all had a wonderful Christmas and feel so blessed for all that we have. I love watching the kids.

The picture below is for my own documentation. This year we decided to put together bags of some essential items for those in need. We got the idea from the school counselor where Joseph works. The counselor put together bags over the summer because she saw many in need as she made the drive to Salt Lake each day to visit her husband who had been in a terrible work accident. She had given us one and so we thought it would be a nice way to pay it forward and hope that it will continue with those we gave one to.

Braces Off

The long awaited day finally happened on the December 16th, she was so excited and even more excited that she was given a treat bucket.

Thanksgiving 2015

We decided to stay home for Thanksgiving this year and just do our own thing. We wanted to spend the time relaxing and not traveling like we have the past four years. It was wonderful other than the fact that I got strep throat, which put me in bed for three days. On the bright side I got out of cooking some of the Thanksgiving meal. Joseph is a fantastic cook and makes everything taste amazing. He is super awesome when it comes to seasoning food and cooked the whole meal. The kids were ecstatic that it snowed over their Thanksgiving break and went sledding at the local park many times. I rested a ton and felt refreshed going into the work week after the holiday.
