December

In December we traveled a lot. First we went to Dynelle's house for Timothy's birthday. Garrett and Kirk went snowshoeing the next day. They really enjoyed it. We spent the rest of the weekend having a relaxing time and helping decorate their house for Christmas. 

He can already tell he's funny

Audrey got Bekah dressed for Church

We bought a gingerbread train kit and made our train while the Watkins made their gingerbread house. Tons of fun! Xander hung out on his play mat while Ross slept on the couch. Bekah just kept eating the candy instead of putting it on the train.

First haircut! Lookin handsome!

 Dynelle and Audrey came to stay with Chelsey. Bekah was thrilled to have a buddy! They played dress-up a lot!

Ross and Xander, Future best buddies

Garrett went hiking again. 

 I can never get enough pictures of my baby sleeping!

Tons of snow on our way to Montana for Christmas

All the kids got pajamas from Santa on Christmas Eve

Bekah and Liana got along well and had so much fun!

I spent Christmas morning with a sleepy buddy on my chest

Everyone went on a hike in the snow, but it was really windy, so Xander and I hung out in the car for an hour. Good think Crystal gave me an awesome book for Christmas!

After spending a week in Montana, we headed down to Vernal to visit the rest of our family. We are so blessed to be able to visit family for holidays and enjoy their love and companionship!

Bekah started coming up with her own style.

Bekah loved having blankets spread on the floor so she and Xander could hang out

I let Ally do the candles for Garrett's birthday

My two boys having snuggle time. Poor baby scratches his face off, so he always has to have socks on his hands

Seriously, this girl has style!

Bekah laughed her head off at this for days

She can do puzzles pretty independently and didn't want to clean them up, so we took pictures

Baby boy at almost 4 months. So happy late at night while I do homework

Workin on his sense of humor. I just love making him smile and laugh!

We were in Vernal for Thanksgiving when Chelsey gave birth to Ross. It killed us that we were her next door neighbors through her whole pregnancy, then we were practically her only family not in town for his birth! Don't get me wrong, we were so happy to be in Vernal to visit my family, but couldn't the girl have waited a day or two for us?

So cute!

My naked babies. (I think this was Bekah's impression of a baby)

I was on the phone taking notes about the call, so when I hung up, Bekah suddenly got a call and requested the notepad as well.
