Winter Wonderland

I just thought I'd post a few pics of what we wake up to in the morning. So pretty! Also, forgot to say this in the last post, but we want to thank Ross' parents, my parents, my grandparents, Tanner, and Curt and Becky for helping make the kids' Christmas special!

...And a couple pics taken the last day of my family's visit

Christmas

Christmas tree "hunting"

Logan was jumping around and somehow managed to get his pants caught on the handle of our entertainment center. Too funny!

One of Logan's favorite gifts (Thanks Aunt Becky and Uncle Curt!)

I was trying to take a couple picture of Keadon playing with Grandpa, but I only got one decent shot. As you can see in the following 2 pics, he cared more about getting the camera than playing. :-)

Moving

We moved up to our new place December 18th, and we love it! We're renting a 3 bed/ 1.5 bath townhome that has a 2 car garage (very exciting for Ross), and it's great to finally have room for most of our stuff! We had a few wonderful friends drive up to help us move in (thanks Nic, Becca, and Doug!), and my mom also came to help (thanks Mom!).

CA Trip Part 2

The boys' first trip to Disneyland! We hope to make it to FL sometime this year so Ross' mom can be with them for their first time at Disney World!

Keadon's first ride. The picture would have been cuter, but the car started moving!

Outside It's a Small World

CA Trip--Part 1

We went down to my parents' house for Thanksgiving, and then the kids and I stayed for about 2 1/2 more weeks while Ross finished up studying for finals and his GMAT. It was so much fun!

 

Before getting to my parents' house, we stopped at my aunt Kelly's so Logan and Abby (above) could play. They were really cute together!

After Ross had already gone home, we decorated gingerbread cookies for our weekly family night. Logan put on all the little candies by himself, which surprised me because I wasn't sure any would make it past his mouth!

We spent one evening out at my grandpa's. We had a hot dog roast, and Logan was able to throw a couple logs on the fire.

Halloween Weekend

We decided to visit Ross' mission president (and his wife/kids) on Halloween, so we also ended up taking the kids trick-or-treating in the Castillo's neighborhood. We thought Logan would get tired quickly, but we were dead wrong. We had to call it quits after an hour because we were driving to my grandparents' house that night, but that little guy wasn't even close to being ready to stop!

Yes, we only took one picture. We're terrible parents, I know. :-)
