Gramma's Christmas visit!

On Christmas Eve, Gramma Nette and aunt Jessica came to visit!  We don't get to see them very often, so it was a lot of fun! The kids love them, and get so excited when they come over.  The kids got loved up by gramma, so good times had by all :)

 

Our sweet tree. Lane picked out this year's model, and did a great job! We didn't have a star to put on top, and when jessica was here she taught me how to make really neat paper stars! So that was our tree topper this year :)

 

Thanks for coming to visit Nette!  Maybe someday I'll be able to get a picture of you with your grandkids when they are NOT making silly faces :)  But I wouldn't hold your breath....



blessings

 

Baby Luke was blessed at church last Sunday. It was sweet and lovely. I'm so proud of my Scott for blessing all our babies...

what a blessing the priesthood is, what a blessing families are! 

 

I am so grateful!

Light Tour!

We heard about a boat light tour on the Coeur D'alene lake which takes you the north pole!  We thought it sounded lots of fun so we took a chance :) 

 

 

 

 Lucy and Uncle Dave looking over the rails to see the lights....

 Macy looking through the rails to the lights

I was a little disapointed because I thought we could get OUT at the north pole and talk to santa, but instead you park and santa comes out and talks to you....hmmmm

part of the lights

 

overall, not too bad, but probably a once in a life time thing :)

SMILES!

Thought we could all use a baby Luke fix :)

 

Look Gramma Deb, and this cute reindeer outfit!

 

all done with this photo shoot! ;)

 

and the funnest thing EVER....baby luke started to smile!!!!

Christmas Snow!

Scott woke up on his birthday to 2 fresh feet of snow!! I thought that was a pretty sweet birthday present......but sad for him that he spent the majority of his day plowing ....

here's some perspective pictures....



here's our office window. There is a roof right below it, so this is the snow that fell off the upper roof, and piled up on the window.  crazy!!

 

 

 

The view out our slider door in the kitchen.  THe snow is about 3 feet above the deck which is about 1 foot off the ground.

 

 



our rocks

 



My van!!

here's a good view of how high the snow is above the deck!

the whole where our wood shed is :) I dug a great trail to the shed to get wood, then the snow slid off the roof and burried it again!! grrrr :)

 

Lane in our front yard. He said he was standing, not kneeling :)

awesome!!!

 

we've been having a blast playing, sledding, and snow mobiling!! We LOVE SNOW!!

Fam pics!

Here's our attempt at family Christmas pictures :)
