Visiting Santa

Yesterday, we visited with Santa at River Park Square.

The Christmas tree was AMAZING.

 Grant didn't cry, but I could tell he was a little nervous.

 "Ok Mom, time to come and get me"....

Annie and Shae asked for American Girl dolls and scooters.

Grant said nothing :)

That same evening, we went to an event in Liberty Lake called, "Walk to Bethlehem". They presented a beautiful reenactment of the Nativity. It was a perfect reminder as to why we celebrate Christmas.

I love where we live, I love this time of year, and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving 2015

We spent our first Thanksgiving dinner in our new house this year. It was small, simple, and perfect.

Grammy, James, and Hannah came over to spend it with us.

Great company, delicious food, and blessings galore to be thankful for. It was a great day.

That evening, we headed up to dreamland and skied all weekend.

Shae was skiing too, but unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of her.

We were lucky enough to ski with Grandpa Hill too! 82 years young...

Grant tried out skiing for the first time and loved it!

Once he learned how to stand up, we attached the harness, put on the edgy wedgie and AWAY he went!

Little Rockstar.

After a long day of skiing, we spent our time making apple turkeys, watching movies, and soaking in the hot tub. 

Life is good.

On our way down the mountain, Saturday night, I snapped this picture.

This is heaven right here.

Life seems to get better and better every year.

I am thankful for my family, friends, and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween Day

Another Halloween has come and gone!

The kids had several parties throughout the week, so we kept it simple on Halloween day. We went trick-or-treating for 30 minutes then called it a night! Grandma, Grandpa, and Carmen came over to party and help us enjoy the kids' spoils.

Simple & Sweet 

Grant was a Navy Seal.

Nathan has some mad face painting skills!

Annie was Fancy Nancy.

She made sure everyone knew she was NOT a princess :)

And Shae Shae was Minnie Mouse...

a pretty cute one too.
