As usual December was a very busy month! I went to Temple square with the young woman and young men for mutual. Towards the beginning of the month we went down to Meadow for a quick trip to get our Christmas tree. When we got back we we went to our ward Christmas dinner and then FHE Sunday at Aunt Lindas. Caden has started Jr. Jazz basketball. It is fun to watch him play each week, he is slowly getting better! Caden also got to go to the Jazz game with Chris, Ben and Sam. They had so much fun and even wen to In and Out burger before the game. Caden said that they even saw Santa at in and out burger and he gave them a Christmas fist bump....Snow flakes. We have been trying to do a lot of Christmas festive activities. One of them was going through Christmas lights. The kids love sticking their heads out the window and McKay loved driving. Caden went to Sam's 6th birthday party. Catherine had her dance Christmas party and they both had their school Christmas parties. Chris and I did a work Christmas party for the girls that work in our garage by going to Pizza cafe and going to an escape room. We had lots of fun with that. The following day on December 21 we drove up to Boise to go to Brion's wedding. Supper quick trip, and kind of crazy right before Christmas but we are so glad we did! We got back on Sunday, Monday we had our Christmas eve party at Uncle Kevin's and then Tuesday was Christmas! We had a very fun relaxing Christmas day just opening presents and playing. Grandma and Grandpa Huntington came on the 29th and stayed until new years day. We always love when they come to stay with us. Kids went sledding with them and all the boys (except McKay) went ice fishing. They were nice enough to watch Caden and Catherine so Chris and I could go to Lilly's reception. What a busy but great year we have had!!

Got his two front teeth for Christmas! Hopefully we can have a little break from teething now!
Loves to put everything in his mouth! SO annoying.
He loves puffs and can finally eat them with no issues! yay
Silly boy loves to take the vent covers off and try to climb in them! We finally bought some double sided tape to keep them down before he started trying to put toys or other objects down them.
He loves to pull my hair!! I don't know why he loves it so much, maybe because he gets a reaction out of me but I HATE it! Poor Catherine has gotten big chunks of hair pulled out from him.
Adah's birthday party! I love that they are still friends even when we don't live by each other.
Young Woman and Young Men Mutual Temple night, along with some of our other activities that we have done within this past year.
Down in Meadow to get our tree. The kids loved grandma's train. We went out to Jenell's to say hi and see the puppies. The highlight was getting the tree. There was surprisingly a Lot of snow (probably about 3 ft of snow). We took the sleds which didn't really come in to handy on the way there because we were going up hill. Once we got to the top we decided to let Chris venture out to find the perfect tree while I stayed with the kids. The snow was awesome, we built the best snowman, and almost finish an igloo! Probably about an hour later Chris came back dripping with sweat with a really good looking tree. Our adventure back to the truck was fun, mostly for me and the kids. haha we got to ride our sleds a good part of the way down. It was so much fun, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
So glad we got to go visit Grandma Elaine! We love her!
This is Pete the cat from school! Caden had to bring him home and take pictures with him of their adventures.
Time to decorate the tree!
Caden received the Leader in Me award!!! I am so proud of Caden and all of his hard work!
The boys outing to the Jr. Jazz game! They had a blast!
Gracie got to come over and play! These two girls are so cute and goofy together!

I surprised Chris this year with the best present ever! Anika painted this very beautiful picture and sent it to us! The kids and I sent Chris on a scavenger hunt to find it! He LOVES it! Anika rocks!
Grandma and Grandpa came and were so nice in giving us all a present! Catherine got a Rapunzle doll and Caden got a really complicated lego set that was meant to be for a 8yr old or older. So Caden and Grandpa spent the majority of the first day working on it! haha
