Finally ChRiStMaS!!

If you look at the first picture you see a large box then this picture is a tv. The funny thing is the top one is from Max's family and this one is from my family...they both gave us TVs. Too funny! So now we have one for the bedroom and one for the living room. Wow we are lucky. The one in our bedroom had a mind of its own so we must have done a lot of complaining about it.

Christmas would not be complete if Max didn't give Indee a pair of skis. She is so excited. Now we just need some more snow to go use them.

My parents gave Indee a new Columbia coat and snow pants. They are so cute. She is not spoiled at all.

New hats from the Jorgensen's!

Showing off her new farm set from Aunt Bonnie. She loves it!

"AHH a farm set!"

All Indee asked for was a bike. So Santa brought her a bike. She would say "Santa loves me so he brought me a bike."

She is very loved. We had a wonderful Christmas thanks to wonderful families and friends. I don't know what we would do without our families! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Going to Oma's for the traditional bread bowls and soup. It was so great to be with family! We are so lucky to have great families!

Christmas Dress

It wouldnt be Christmas Time without a new Christmas dress. Thank you Oma!

Decorating the Tree

Final Product. It looks beautiful.
Max putting the star on top.

She is not cheezy at all :)

We are officially ready for Christmas at our house except for the whole shopping thing, I have been terrible I need to get to work. We may have decorated a little early because every morning Indee wakes up and asks if it is Christmas. She is so funny! I am excited that the Christmas Season is here.

Thanksgiving

All the girls: aunts, cousins, grandma
Indee made a bed for Bonnie and her on the floor.

Sisters!

My mom and sister Mary made cute place settings for everyone.

The table set and ready for food.

I love my family so much! It was wonderful to be together and remember all that we are thankful for.

Christmas Tree Hunting

Yesterday we went with my family to find Christmas Trees. It was snowing so hard! It was like a winter wonderland...tons of fun!! I LoVe SnOw!!

The snowflakes were huge!!
Snowy family!!

Brrr it was cold

Sizzy and Indee

Good Bye Fall

Even Copper is not ready for the cold weather. He comes in, snuggles up and falls asleep from the warmth of the house.

Max and Indee rounding up the last of the leaves to great ready for winter...

Copper would let Max cover him with leaves and when he said his name he would jump out. Indee thought it was so funny! Copper was too fast for me to get a picture of him jumping out.

I can't believe I am saying good bye to fall but it seems that winter is on its way. I love the snow but hate the cold. I don't know if that makes sense. I am excited for another year of building snowmen and skiing. This year just seems to be flying by. My baby is 3 1/2. She is so beautiful and such a joy in our lives. Her attitude I could do without some days but she is usually very sweet and so helpful. I feel like I need to get to work the holidays are right around the corner and I am not prepared at all.

Halloween

My mom made Indee and I matching Fairy Princess costumes! They were beautiful!! Thank you mom!!! Happy Halloween everyone!!

Potato Harvest

I had a wonderful 2 week Harvest Vacation. Definitely a plus of South Fremont 2 weeks! I was just really really lazy but we did find some time to go and visit the hard workers digging potatoes. Max and his family are done but my fam is still digging. Lets hope the weather holds out and they can get done tomorrow. Here are some pics of our visit to ride with my dad and Kevin...

Indee not wanting her picture taken. She likes riding with my dad because she eats his treats. She was eating Pringles at the time.

SNOW

We woke up to snow! I wish it didn't come during potato harvest but this is Idaho. As soon as Indee saw it she started digging out her snow clothes. Then running around doing a snow song and dance! She is so her father's child!! :)

Indee Dancing

Marie has some great neighbors that give Indee clothes. Today we came across dance clothes! Indee loves to dance and sing!! It was hard to pick a video. She was cracking me up.

Road Trip

Sunday we decided to go to Yellowstone. When we got there the road from Norris to Madison was closed so we had to change our plans. We still wanted to go up to Mammoth so we took the long route knowing we would have to see the same thing twice. We drove past the fires. It was really smokey. We made it to Mammoth and it was very interesting. On our way back after an hour of driving we were stopped and were told because the fire had jumped the road there was no way back to the West Entrance. So our road trip began. We had to go back to Mammoth, to Gardiner,MT, over to Bozeman, to Big Sky, West Yellowstone and home. We ended up driving over 500 miles!!! It was crazy but a lot of fun! Indee was such a great girl! So that was our adventure!!

Our dedicated driver!
Fire..

Smoke.

It looked like snow but it is calcified rock.

Indee enjoyed climbing the fences
