Christmas-ing

We have been enjoying this fabulous Christmas season and therefore haven't been blogging. This Christmas we've been counting down the days until Christmas a couple of ways. One with a nice little treat and another by reading a scripture a day that talks about the Savior. It's been fun to eat treats and read scriptures at the same time. Hmm...I hope this doesn't become a habit.


Scripture Advent
I made a decoration out of scrap wood we had laying around and I think it turned out okay... Loreli on the other hand hates how I spelled merry so she mixes things up a bit. Yerrm...is that Jewish?


I finally got around to making stockings this year! Miracle! I was so scared that if they were horrid that I'd ruin every future Christmas or something, but I got over it. So the stockings are done, but the letters are not. I am running out of time since we're leaving earlier than planned for Christmas. Just pretend they all have letters on a ball chain and are so so cute.



Loreli LOVES them! She can't wait for them to be filled with wonderful surprises!
Loreli has an obsession with snowmen lately. So I went to the little craft store in town and got supplies to make a snowman...or in this case woman. She also is donning a snowman dress that Gana and Granddad gave her last year and lets just say she wants to wear it daily. Thanks Gana and Granddad!

Picture TIme

Sorry, sorry, sorry.  I know it has been forever since the last blog post.  I don't know what to tell you.  But I'm here now so its alright.
When we were in the Valley last time, amongst our rockin' swampin' good time, we took some nice family pictures.  What do you think?








Isn't this a gorgeous picture of this girl?
You might not be able to see, but Loreli has a huge smile on her face in this one.  She is going to be some sort of dare devil for sure.
