This picture was taken at Hidden Lake in Glacier National Park this past August. I loved this trip and I love these kiddos!

Merry Christmas!!

Hello everyone!!

I know I haven't blogged in forever, but I'm hoping to get my act together in January! We are all well and are having a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Here's just a few highlights of our Christmas Day:

Katie asked for a guitar for Christmas and Grandma Janis delivered!! It's beautiful and Katie loves it!

We also spent time with the Fraziers and enjoyed a delicious prime rib and crab feast! Oh yeah!

I hope all of you are well and happy! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
