Tis the Season...

We're right in the middle of the Christmas season and enjoying every minute of it. Jared has been really busy with a project at work and will finally be done with it on Thursday so he'll be breathing a little easier after that. We leave in one week for Washington to spend Christmas. This month, as usual, is flying by way to quickly.

Beautiful Mackayla!

Jared and Bradley are ready for a Christmas dinner.

Our gingerbread house. Mackayla wouldn't be in a picture and Bradley wanted his mouth open for the picture so this is the best shot I got.

Santa showed up at our ward party! The kids wouldn't sit on his lap but quietly told him they wanted "toys" for Christmas.

This was Jared after putting up Christmas lights. It was a COLD, WINDY day!

Bradley had a little stomache bug last week and was throwing up... no fun for anyone!
Poor little guy.

You are great at holidays Melissa! Love your decorations & your super cute kids. Glad Jared will have some time to relax.

Did you color your hair Melissa? It looks kinda reddish in that last picture. I like it!

Your house looks so cute. I'm so jealous you can store all those different china sets. How fun to have beautiful dinners. See you guys soon!

Mackayla looks beautiful in that dress! I am sad that Meagan has grown out of Costco's dresses - they were the best. Have a great time in Yakima!!

Jaden said that it looks like Jared has a mustache. When I told him that it looks like that because he does J said, "mom why would Jared ever want to have a mustache? But I like it."

That is too bad that Bradley was so sick. He looked really sick with the red checks and all. Cute gingerbread house. Maybe the kids can make one with their cousins when you come. I am glad that Mackayla and Bradley got to tell Santa what they wanted. Mackayla did look beautiful in her dress! Jacob is getting so big!
