Ward Christmas Party

This year for the ward party our whole family got to play very important roles in the Nativity Story. We were Joseph,Mary,baby Jesus(the boys were still to young to make it), and a Wiseman. It was so special as I watched Adie in the cradle while listening to the narration and everyone sing the songs tears came to my eyes. It is something that I will not forget and it will be a fun thing to tell Adie that she got to play baby Jesus.

Decorated for the Holidays

Our little tree and stockings. Now I have to use the hooks my mom got me and learn to crochet a stocking for Adie.

Grandma J's stockings and tree.


Justin was so in love with the tree and the lights that without fail every single

morning the first thing he did when he got out of bed was plugged them all in.

I can't wait for next year because I finally got a big 7 ft tree on after Christmas sales for $170 0ff of the regular price and it is pre-lite yeah!!!

Gifts I made

Wood blocks for my Sister and Mom.

Aprons for Mom,Sister,and I. /Fleece blankets for Jada and Adie.

Quiet books for my nephews Kade and Coltrin. I found this idea on Pinterest and the Dry erase crayons color right on the sheet protectors and come with a cleaning cloth. They were so easy and fun to make.

Treats for Christmas

So since I was not able to be with my family in Idaho this year I wanted to make candy like my Mom and Grandma always do. This year was the first time that I made creams and I think they turned out pretty good.

Cherry,Mint,and Cinnamon / All the mint ones / Peanut Butter Balls

Cherry and Cinnamon / Candy cane Pretzels / Cute candy tray I found

Microwave caramels so easy.

Red and Green chocolate covered popcorn.

Mommy and the kids

I just love snuggling with my kiddos!

Gingerbread Houses

Just like every year we did gingerbread houses as Tracey's house. Justin was in heaven this year since he is now old enough to make his own house and eat all of the candy of course. He little house turned out so cute and he had so much fun.

He was so proud that he made his house all by himself.

New Addition

It finally happened!!! We got our new car it is a 2006 Saturn Vue and we love it! I personally love being up higher and the fact that our double stroller can fit in the trunk with other items still able to fit as well.
