Fun in the Snow

The kids had a blast today when Craig went outside and played with them in the snow! They built a small fort, had a snowball fight, and made a snowman! A fun Daddy is truly a gift from God! They all agree! :)

An Early Chrismas Celebration

Since Nonna and Grandpaul were here for 8 days around Thanksgiving we celebrated Christmas early with them- since they won't make it back for Christmas. We had a fun time- celebrating early!

P.S. Sorry about all these new posts at once! - I have been busy with school and now studying for finals! Pray for me when you think of it! Praise God I get about a month break between semesters! I am soooooo looking forward to it!

Tree Hunting

Two days after Thanksgiving we went up to Little Bear Canyon to cut our Christmas Tree. The particular mountain we choose was pretty steep and we had fun pushing and pulling the kids up the hill- since their boots seemed to slip in the snow! After hunting around about 1 1/2 miles up the mountain we finally found a suitable tree and cut it down. The trip down the hill was a blast! The kids slid down on their bottoms most of the way- and although Mom wasn't trying to, she did as well! We had a snowball fight too! What a wonderful day it was! After coming home- we met Nonna and Grandpaul for dinner and came back home to decorate the tree. It was a very memorable, fun day!

Hunting 2008

Nathaniel had a blast this year going deer hunting with his Dad and Papa. Craig got 3 deer this season and Papa was successful also! Hunting has become one of Nathan's favorite activities and he can't wait until he turns 12 so he can also become a hunter.

So much to be Thankful For!!

We have so much to be Thankful for! God has blessed our family greatly! His, love, mercy, daily provisions, protection, good health, family, friends are just a few of a very long list! ;)

This year we were blessed to have Nonna and Grandpaul with us for Thanksgiving so we got to have both sets of Grandparents with us! We went to Monga and Papa's for dinner and what a spread we had! We even got in a few games of pool and fooseball afterwards!

Unfortunately the only pictures that turned out for Thanksgiving are of Ashley, Grandpaul and the beautiful table.
