December 2012!!

December Started off will a fun Ward Christmas Party!

Obviously it was an ugly sweater party and Brad and I won for having the ugliest!

 We were able to make a quick trip home to Coeur D'Alene! 

We were able to see our favorite team play at the Kennel! Thank you to Don for letting us have a night out with his season tickets!!

 The rest of trip was very relaxing! Brad had a lot of bonding time with his nieces! 

They watched episodes of Mickey Mouse Play House! 

A trip home wouldn't be complete without going to Noodle Express and getting some Chicken Osaka! 

Ah! It makes me so hungry just looking at it! 

We then drove down to Utah to spend Christmas with my Brothers! 

On our way down we stopped in Ogden to see Great Grandma Mayer! She was so excited to see us! It was so fun vising with her! She is so sweet and has a heart of Gold! 

The next morning was Sunday and was Zoey's Baby blessing! We were so glad we could be there! She is such a precious little girl! We love you Zoey! 

 Spending time in Utah means playing with these two all day long! 

They are so fun!

 They love to play together! 

 Back home in Spokane it used to be a tradition to go to the Madsen home and have a Christmas doughnut party.  They have now moved down to Utah so when we are in Utah for the Holidays we make a special trip and enjoy some delicious doughnuts! The Madsen's are dear friends of ours and it is so fun the see Kaylie and Mackenzie! We catch up on old times! Love them!

We were definitely spoiled this Christmas!

 Brad got a GoPro Camera that was put to good use this ski season! 

We gave Kenny a Zag flag to be put up on game days! 

This little girl melted our heart with her pictures with Santa! 

Quinn you are so sweet! 

 We also made a special trip up to the Salt Lake temple with my parents! It was such a great experience to be there and to see that beautiful temple!

On our way back we were able to stop in Logan Utah to see Brad's Sister, Megan and her family!

Hours were spent playing cars and dinosaurs with Brexton! 

 And playing dolls and make up with Maci! 

Megan and Bart made the best food for us while we were there! This was our delicious New Years Treats! 

Fondu and Eggnog Punch! 

 We were sad to leave the next morning! But loved the time we all got to share! 

This Christmas season we were lucky to be able to spend it with all of our family members! We had a wonderful Holiday Season and are so grateful that we can celebrate the birth of our Savior year after year!! Can't believe Christmas is only like 6 months away! Time flies so fast!!
