So much FUN!
What a great holiday!! We had to get new tree ornaments too. I am really loving the holiday season so far! Oh, and I would like to order some fudge. =D
I will be copy cating your blog Christmas music. I love it what a great idea!! I love this season and all that it brings especially the ladies christmas party, I just hope that I'll be able to go with my school schedule and stuff!!
Your blog is so much better than mine. I just do it for my family and get really frustrated with it real quick. I am a facebook chick, I don't look at bloggs....i just run out of time in the day. (escpecially because our one year old has a lot of health problems at the moment)We will have to catch up. I think we are going to a wedding in Feburary, so maybe then?? Dave has family coming for Christmas here. Hyrum gets baptised so should be fun. good to hear from you.esther
I LOVE divinity, my grandma always makes it for Christmas but this year she'll be in Salt Lake on her mission. Sounds like you had a feast or two for Thanksgiving...at least the weather made it feel more like the holidays. Cute new pictures on the side.
