Here is the normal looks we get from our kids. Kadi had no idea this picture was being taken and Kolton always looks like a deer in the spot lights. I can't believe that we have a picture of Jacob smiling he is usually pretty serious and Jaimee this is what I have to put up with on a daily basis. I can't belive that it is so close to christmas and I pretty excited I think the kids will just be glad to have a break from school. Kadi is pretty busy with finals and the rest are pretty much just hanging out. It will be fun to be with family in Utah this christmas time. I thought I would never be away for christmas but with Tracy coming in I thought it would be fun to load up all the kids and all their presents and drive 8 hours to the cold to spend the time with him and finally get to see my little neice Addison which I have yet to meet.

Here are just some more pictures of Thanksgiving. We really did have a great time and I love haivng family here.

Well we started off the holiday season with the christmas tree decorating and all the house. It was great this year as the girls did most of it. I like having older girls they are a great help. We put up our tree that we say we are going to replace every year it has now been used for 13 years and still looks good. I was not as good as my sister in-law that put 4500 lights on her tree I only have 1500. For FHE last week we talked about what our favorite part of the holidays we all enjoy. Ken like driving around and looking at the lights and candy cane shakes. Kadi and my favorite things are watching all the christmas shows with the christmas lights on and christmas music. Jaimee likes the lights and decorating the house. Jacob and Kolton liked the presents. We really love the time we get to spend together as a family and just remembering the reason for the holiday.
