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!

My Very First Turkey

Well this year Jake and I decided to do our own Thanksgiving! And it was a blast. We

really missed seeing family... but it was kinda nice just to go at our own pace and what not. We made the whole entire dinner (made a bit much for just the 4 of us) but it is nice to have all the leftovers to our self. As Jake says he gets to make turkey sandwiches. This was my first time making a turkey and I must say it turned out PERFECT! It was so moist and juicy. I think I might have to host a dinner at my house soon!! Anyway I hope everyone had a great day yesterday!!

The Girls and Great Grandma

A couple weeks ago I hosted a Sentsy Party thanks to my awesome sister-in-law Laura. Well my Grandma DeeAnn came with was so nice. The girls don't get to see her very often so when they do it is a treat for all 3 of them. Well this is the first picture I have got of them together and it really means a lot to me. Not many people can say that they have a great grandma and even great-great grandparents which they do. But again we don't see them often because they live in Layton and in the winter they live in Arizona! But anyway thanks to everyone that came to my Sentsy party it was really fun!!

Kaytlin wearing Daddys Army clothes

So the other night we were getting the girls ready for bed and Kaytlin decided she was going to put on Daddy's Army jacket.. she thought it was so cool!! She looked really cute in it even though she was pretty much swimming it in!! So the picture is not the best. Kaytlin started to dance just as I took the picture. She really loves to dress up and dance around. I really love watching Kaytlin and Gracie dance around and sing it is so cute. If I can get on the ball I will take a video of it and post it on here.!!
