Jenny and Travis' Baby boy

My SIL Jenny and BIL Travis had their little boy on Friday night!! He is such a cutie. CONGRATS to the new Mommy and Daddy.. they are both going to be awesome parents.!! We are happy for both of you!!

the finished product!!

Here is our Christmas tree. As you all know we went and cut down our own tree. It was a blast. But the trees are not as "full" and they would have been had we went and bought a tree from a lot. The tree was a lot more full and cuter but when we trimmed the tree we trimmed the wrong end. When we first got it the top was really cute. But once we trimmed it (from the bottom) we decided it wasn't as great as we thought it was. LOL So this is the finished product. We are unable to put our star on top because it has two tips so it looks really funny. Also I was not able to put a lot on it so it is kinda bare this year. But all in all I think it looks really cute. Next year we will look a little harder for a tree that is a little more full.

Pics of the trees

Here are a couple pics of the trees. Grant and Natalie were really fast at getting their tree, and it turned out really cute. They are pros at this though.. There are also a couple of pics of Jake up on the hill with our tree before he cut it down and then at the bottom of the hill after he cut it down. And then of course we had to have one of Kaytlin going down the hill on her bum. She was having so much fun up in the hills. It made Jake and I very happy.!!

All 3 girls and the SLED!!

I think the sled was the hit for the girls. They really enjoyed it! We are planning on going up on the hill next month with the kids to take them sledding. I am so excited for that! Gracie didn't really want to walk at all.. all she wanted to do was ride on the sled. It was really cute, but really hard trying to climb up on a mountain holding her. lol. All in all I think the girls really had fun! I can't wait till next year!!

Our hunt for our Christmas tree

Here are the pictures when we first arrived to the Mountains. We wanted to get a little fire going so we had something to warm our hands up on. Natalie and Grant brought a sled with them so I have a bunch of photos of the girls on that too. This was such a great experience I am so glad that we got to do it! We plan on making it a yearly thing now! Thanks a ton Grant and Natalie!!

Christmas Party

Kaytlin was really excited to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas. That is all she talked about for the past weeks. Gracie on the other had was not so happy. At first she was okay with seeing Santa until she actually had to get up there and see Santa. It was so sad and funny all the same. She was crying so hard. It made me feel bad. I was unable to get a picture of both of the girls with Santa, but maybe next year it will be better. Oh well one can hope right. Well that is all I have for now. I will be uploading lots more pictures tomorrow. We are going to cut down our Christmas tree with some really good friends, so tomorrow will be a fun and exciting day. Its going to be a GREAT ADVENTURE!!

More Christmas party pictures

Well this weekend we had the annual Christmas Party for Jake's unit. It was a lot of fun. The girls got to see Santa. Which made Kaytlin VERY happy and made Gracie very mad! But it was fun. Kaytlin and Gracie got to play with Ryann. She is such a sweet little girl, and they always play so well together!
