Want to Know what we do with your Christmas Cards?
Every year we look forward to all the Christmas cards and family pictures that come in the mail or hand delivered. We tape them to our door leading out to the garage and keep them up until Christmas comes around the next year. If you look closely, you might see your family there. We actually got several after I took this picture. The covered door reminds me all year how my life has truly been blessed by the influence of so many great people.
Our Christmas Trip- Part 5 A Visit to Dale and Tammi's New House
Ivan is the youngest of nine, and I am the oldest of 8. On our Christmas trip, we had managed to see all of our siblings except for Dale and his family. So, we were grateful that we were able to stop and see them on the way back home to Arizona.

I had to take a picture of the fog and the church that you can see from their house.
We hadn't been able to go sledding, so the kids were so excited to hit the hill by Dale's house.
Devan took quite the spill. :-)

It was absolutely freezing, but look how happy this kid was.
I couldn't get over the view that they have where they live. It must be amazing to wake up and see that much beauty on a daily basis!
Ivan takes his turn. Of course he has to go head first.

We had such a great time visiting their family, eating pizza, and playing games. We wish we lived closer to them. We're grateful for this fun memory with their family.
Our Christmas Trip- Part 5 Emma's Birthday
Our sweet Emma turned 4 while we were on our trip. She wasn't feeling the greatest on her big day, but was still a trooper as we sung to her and she opened her presents.

Grandpa about died on us while we were in Utah. He gave us all quite a scare.
We knew he was feeling better when he started cracking jokes with his corny sense of humor. We're glad he made it through his terrible ordeal.
