Christmas 2012

I will have a couple posts on Christmas...We did more during December because of all the SNOW!! 
Dozer wanted to join in the decorating 

We got our first REAL Christmas Tree. Mike insisted on getting a REAL one starting after Medical school...so we got rid of our fake one that we have had since we got married. It was a sad/happy moment. 

Last year I went ahead and talked with Santa into sending our family our own Elf on the Shelf. You know we have to keep a closer eye on my two kiddos, since they behave like there are 6 of them! We named our Elf, Casper! He is very mischievous when the kids have been good the day before.  


He got into my crystal cabinet and decided to have a bubble bath...naughty little Elf! 

 Here Casper stole my Ipod to listen to some tunes!

Thanksgiving 2012

I have put a back seat to blogging due to being in school, working part time, and watching my neighbor's kids so she can work part time as well. Plus I am the Bear den leader and Mike has crazy rotations still! It's been one crazy year! My goal is to be completely updated by the end of this year, so that I can start posting some more fun stuff that will be happening in the next year and a half!! 

Thanksgiving of 2012, we started building our fence. We had another Resident come help us out putting the posts in and getting everything settled. When my parents and my sisters family came for Thanksgiving, my dad and brother in law were amazing and helped us finished building our fence.  It was so awesome to have their help and we wouldn't have been able to get it done in the time we did without it!!



Like I said my sister's family came to visit for Thanksgiving and they brought their dogs...Dre was a little thirsty 


 This was during Thanksgiving dinner, our cousins were able to come join us from Cheyenne. I loved seeing the Kims! It had been such a long time since we have all been together. We also had our friends, the Walkers join us for dinner as well. 

 This was also the first time I got to meet my cute new niece! 

Isaiah chilling on our couch! 
 E and Isaiah are such great friends. They are wrestling with something right here, I can't remember what it is...maybe if I would have kept up on my blogging I would have remembered ;)

My parents also brought me the piano!! I am so excited to have this. I just now have to take piano lessons to learn to play!! Which I am planning on doing and also planning on both J and E taking lessons as well in the future. 

My sister and I, with her cute girl, out Black Friday shopping!
