Happy New Year! This year is going to be so exciting! Before we focus too much on the New Year, I want to wrap up the old with little tidbits of our life from December.
Mountain River Ranch sleigh rides, hot chocolate, and Christmas scenes
What I frequently saw after breakfast in the morning...horsey Hyrum pulling Afton in the laundry basket. Love how creative these two are!
Decorating the Christmas tree tradition, complete with homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate. This is the first year we have had white lights on the tree...so magical :)
Dairy Queen Date with H. He has been asking for months and we finally did it. So much fun to soak in Hyrum and get to know his fun little personality more. He was such a gentleman. Got my door and chair for me. "We have a good dadda" is what H always says and he is right. Blaine has taught him well.
above: Hyrum took this picture of me. He is becoming quite the photographer. He practices a lot with our cheap little camera.
Our 6th Anniversary. I feel so old! 6 years! I though only old people had been married for 6 years! It was definitely the most eventful anniversary we have had so far...complete with calling 9-1-1 for a guy that was laying on the side of the road by the Idaho Falls Temple, throwing up on our drive home (pregnancy sickness), eating our romantic dinner with our hands because we forgot silverware, and eating dinner and dessert in the apartment building we had our first date in...Viking Village #203 (thanks Blaine for arranging something so sentimental.) This anniversary reminded me that I really am the luckiest :)
Christmas Eve craft with H
Christmas Eve dinner, a.k.a. Jesus' birthday dinner, complete with starkiss popsicles from Dairy Queen, representing that new star that shone on the night that Jesus was born.
Christmas Eve...Santa brought Afton a baby doll stroller and I gave Afton one of my favorite childhood dolls cleaned up in a cute newborn dress that we found at Fred Meyer.
Blaine crocheted me a head wrap and H a hat. This boy that is my husband is so darn cute!
H got a fireman costume for Christmas. I feel so much safer having a fireman live at our house now! He wears it everywhere, and I just love that. He is only a little boy for a little while :)
Afton loves her dolly and stroller. She frequently takes it on walks outside in the snow :)
Snow fun with our new sled we got with Christmas money from Gramma Sherri.
Fun with our new Melon colored Kitchen Aid mixer we got from Papa Dave...can I say I am in love? This thing makes baking and cleaning up from baking a dream! :)
German Pancakes is the first creation from our Kitchen Aid Mixer. We love to have these for a quick dinner topped with applesauce.
