The Holidays

Wow, I 'm a little behind with the blog. Lets start at the beginning of the holiday season!


We were lucky enough to be invited to Michigan to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Pace family. We had so much fun with them. What could be better than great food, great friends, and lots of football and game nights.

the three amigos-reunited.

Ashley and I were a little nervous -Randy, Kyler, and Justin deep frying a turkey,
is that a good idea? The house is still standing and the turkey was soooo good.






Our lovely host. I can't believe I didn't get any pictures of the kiddos. Keira had such a great time with the girls, they get along so great.

A week later we flew out to Utah for some family time.
We started our trip at Brian and Brenda's.
These two were so cute together they would follow each other around all day long.



We decided to take a little trip to Salt Lake to see the lights on temple square. It was a nice way to start the Christmas holiday. Keira, Braylon and Carson loved running around and seeing all the beautiful lights and Nativity.

It was freezing, but we kept our little guy nice and bundled up.

We spent the rest of the week in Bear Lake with Randy's family. We always have such an enjoyable time together. Lots of swimming, sledding, games, and eating. It can get a little crazy with all 14 grandchildren, but there is never a dull moment!









We ended the holiday season at home. It was nice to spend Christmas with our little family in our home and just be together. Randy was working on Christmas day so we celebrated a little late, but it was a wonderful day and we ended up having a white Christmas. Keira was so fun this year, she was so excited and truly grateful for everything she received.

She gets so excited to see Santa, she just kept talking to him
we practically had to force her off his lap.



Braden wasn't frightened at all. He just kept smiling-that is our Braden.

We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying the New Year.
