Movie and a Christmas Tree

Ever since I (Kristin) went to visit my sister (Ashley) in California, I've wanted to see the new Disney movie entitled, 'Frozen.'  She and I saw a preview (or two or three) and knew it was a must see.  Well, today (the day after Thanksgiving) Cam made that possible for me!  We also had the privilege of having my brother, Kyle, and his wife, Becky, come along with us!  It was SOOOOO good!!  I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good, clean, funny, love story!  P.S. I'd love to see it again if anyone needs someone to go with them :)

After the movie, we went on our traditional Christmas tree hunt!  The last two years we decided to buy potted Christmas trees so that we could take them up to our land in Wyoming to plant when spring arrived.  Well, I'm sad to say that none of the three trees (yes, three-2 from last year) survived long enough to make the journey.  In fact, our two trees from last year died within a week of being home (Home Depot allowed us to bring the first back because it died so soon, and we didn't bother bringing the second one back...too much hassle in taking the ornaments off).

So, needless to say, we didn't go with a potted one this year; sad I know.  Our tree is very cute though and Cam did a wonderful job propping it up on some wooden boxes to stand just a little taller.  She's very happy!  Here are the pics:

We hope your December is merry and bright as you rejoice in the Savior of the world!!  

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving 2013

This is the first Thanksgiving that we have hosted! We had Kristin's mom and all brothers/plus a sister-in-law who live somewhat locally, come to our home to celebrate.   I'd say everything turned out great and everyone went home full and satisfied.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! 

 Homemade stuffing (needs a few changes next year)

 Ew...gross!

We missed you Peter, Alicia, Blake, Ashley, Joe, Spencer, Isaac, and Gemma!  Maybe next year we'll have everyone...or maybe we should shoot for Christmas!!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Cam and I have so much to be thankful for, especially our family, friends, the gospel, and our dear Savior and Heavenly Father (just to name very few).  

Thank you to all those who love us and take such great care of us and each other.  We hope this wonderful holiday season can continue to be full of love, thanksgiving, and everything happy and good.  Take care!

Cousin's Wedding November 2, 2012

Kristin's cousin, Wendy, married Tom from England on November 2nd.  She had been doing a study abroad there, and were engaged during the London Olympics!  She has tons of fun pictures of England and we hope to go visit them someday! (P.S. Tom teaches the equivalent of 1st/2nd graders in England...our students are going to be pen pals).
