"O Christmas Tree"

One of the traditions that Brian and I decided to start, when we were first married, is cutting our own Christmas tree. Every year no matter what state we are in or who is with us, we go find our tree. This year we lucked out and found it right off the road and not too far away. This year was especially fun because the munchkin was big enough to play in the snow with us. It is a beautiful tree (I am partial to the Charlie Brown variety). Averie played in the snow for the first time, believing that it was actually a ton of bubbles. Happy Christmas!









Gobble, Gobble!

This year for Thanksgiving, we went to my aunt and uncle's house in Magna. We had a wonderful turkey dinner (I swear, my grandma is the only one who doesn't make turkey dry!) with all the traditional holiday food and dessert. Is it just me, or does it just taste better on Thanksgiving? After dinner, we proceeded to learn the art of the Wii. Let me tell you what, there isn't any workout better than boxing your sister after eating (with exception to Bethany's great turbo-kick workout last year :) ). There is a special competitive edge when boxing with a sibling. Due to a malfunction in her controller (I was fixing it when she decided to use the other controller and knock me out) I was not the champion. You are such a cheat Diana!!!!!! It was great fun, and what a wonderful family we have!
