Okay, Okay so I haven't been that great at posting lately

So we all know it's been a couple of months and we're at the very bottom of your "friends" list because well let's face it we just haven't updated... Well i decided enough was enough... I was going to find my camera (And for you who know me I always have that on me) and the charger for the battery. So i dug it out and we are going back in time to December to relive getting a tree with the Christensen's and Christmas with the Jones' and Beckstrand's. Hopefully i can get us up to date on life and get us going again....


A Christmas Tree Adventure


Dave and I are living in my parents house as most of you know and Christmas was getting near which meant that my family would be moving here pretty soon. Dave and I started to think, we should get a tree to make things a little more festive when they come, as if snow wasn't enough. Michelle and Aaron (David's sister and brother-in-law) and ourselves went up to Island park to cut down a tree. Yes, you can cut down your own tree here! I kinda felt like Charlie Brown when he goes to get a tree and they weren't the full big Christmas tree's like i was used to in California so they were some sweet trees and it sure was a great experience. Thanks to Aaron and Michelle for helping us!



Jones Christmas


Well my family moved in and the same day my sisters started to arrive for Christmas, so if you couldn't guess it, it was pretty hectic in the house. Nonetheless we had such a great Christmas! All my siblings were able to make it with all the nephews and nieces. Since they were here for about 5 days and we took over 500 pictures i'll do my best to down size in out fun. * We baked, went shopping, unpacked for my parents, played a sweet new game that Jessica brought which was called "Things", played shake a face, stayed up way too late, cooked, had a talent show,played with Jana's new camera, and of course played in the snow. Travis started up a tube run starting in our front yard running around the house and down to the next street. Needless to say, the holidays were great!
















































**Hopefully this gives you a tiny taste of the great holidays!




Beckstrand Christmas


We went down to Utah on Christmas Day to spend some time with Dave's family as well for the holidays. We had a great time eating all the yummy food that Joy made for New Years, played games, played wii, and went roller blading! Dave was a pro at it while i was struggling with the four bladed thing.
