December's Recap

So it has been a while since we've posted and I thought it easiest just to do a quick recap on what we've been up to. These are in no particular order!


On December 17th, Kev and I celebrated 5 amazing years of marraige. We have been happier than we ever could have dreamed and are thrilled that we still have an eternity together.




And Kev surprised me with a wedding band! I've wanted one but was not in any hurry and he decided it was time. (Sorry, a little blurry)




Speaking of rings, another exciting event was the engagement of Kev's little brother Tanner to our really good friend, Estee! They dated through high school and after his mission the spark was still there. I'll admit that I am among the happier of this union! Congrats guys!


What would winter be without a snowman, and thanks to an awesome dad, Ty got to build a very big one this year.


And we got two very different kids. Ty loves to be out in the snow and Jordo hates it! Even for a short moment just to get to the car, he whines. "Snow, finger!" Of all the places to complain, that is usually the one. I'm glad I'll have at least one kid that will want to hang with me indoors, at least for a little while.
We also held a preschool Christmas party and it couldn't have been more fun. The kids made ornaments, candy Christmas trains and we had a very special visitor! Due to the crunch of the season, Mrs. Clause came in place for her busy husband.



And of course Christmas! We had a blast this year spending the whole season with family and wish it could just slow down through December so we could enjoy it more. The kids are great ages to really get into it and give us the show we want. We also had many opportunities this year that reminded us about the true meaning of Christmas and helped us focus on Christ and all He does for us.

We hope all of you enjoyed the holidays as much as us and maybe next year we'll send out Christmas cards!
