Friends

So Lara's birthday is on Christmas. Luckily most of us have family here in Utah so we can all get together around the holidays. For Lara's 30th her mom had us all come to a surprise dinner. We knew that us and the Andersons would be there...then we were surprised by the Wrights! Best. Night. Ever.

 Before the Anderson's left we were able to have a get together at our house with the Kawas. We are so lucky to have such amazing friends, and so glad we can still get together with most of them. Love our Nebraska friends.

Christmas

What a wonderful relaxing Christmas. First one in our first house. The boys wanted ninja costumes. They love the lego ninjago show so they chose their favorites and asked for them for Christmas. Cutest ninjas I have ever known.

Christmas eve morning we spent at my parents house with all the family. We had breakfast and opened presents together. Then we had our annual Christmas eve dinner at the Johnsons. These kids are all so fun. Love doing the nativity every year. 

Such a blessing to be able to celebrate Christ and family. 

Night out

Kyle has been doing amazing things at work. Because of this we had a wonderful dinner at the Melting Pot and a night stay at the Grand America. It was perfect. Great way to celebrate our 8th anniversary too. You are amazing babe.

Thanksgiving

We have had such a wonderful holiday and are so grateful for our families. So blessed to be able to spend this time with them and share our gratitude for life, liberty, and religion. 

We have had a little bit of a hiccup with our sweet dog. Because of that we felt it was best we find him a new place to live. We found a great guy who owns lots of land and hunts birds. We know he will be very happy there. 

Closet, Halloween.

We decided to cut a separate opening in this under the stairs space and make a little playroom for the kids. It will end up having a door and the rest will be closed in. 

Little bundle of joy.

 Halloween! Mr. Incredible and a pirate. He is trying to act the part by looking super grumpy. 

Kyle's sister Shayla watched Jonas one day and sent us this pic of him. Such a silly little guy.

Bruce's Farewell

Seems unreal that now this guy is leaving on a mission. Panama will be blessed by his righteous and obedient example. Now we have our hearts tied to two places around the world. So grateful for his unwavering example and for being the wonderful honest and pure person he is. Love you Brucie!

Sworn In

Such a great day. One we have anticipated for over 3 years. So happy to be here now.
