Merry Christmas Season!

Although I haven't posted for a while, things are going well and we are enjoying the Christmas season! We hope that all of you are also enjoying this special time of year. Here's a much overdue update of some things we've been up to:

Here is Parker in his very scary horse costume - he had a fun Halloween and loved trick-or-treating with his dad, uncle and cousins.



This is Parker's first experience playing in the snow. We excitedly got him all bundled up because we just knew he would love running around in all the white stuff. He partially enjoyed it, but I don't think he was prepared for the coldness of the snow!! So this first picture gives you an idea of his first impression - but things did get better! I actually took him out today and he loved running and face-planting in the snow!





This is one of Parker's favorite spots to play - in the cupboard with all the plastic stuff.


Here is Dave up on the roof getting ready to put up Christmas lights. Luckily his brother Dan came over to help and it didn't take long. Dan would toss all the supplies up to Dave and they were done before I even had time to get too stressed about the potential injuries! You'd never guess that the day we put up lights there was also a BYU football game on would you? Out of respect for Dave, I won't go into the details of that particular game.



Hopefully those few pictures give you a basic idea of what we've been up to. We've also done some fun things that I don't have pictures of - like a great Thanksgiving at home in Idaho, a fun trip to the festival of trees, and an inspiring date to the Savior of the World production at the conference center. Stay tuned for our official Christmas letter that we'll be posting soon!
