So I guess I am averaging 1 blog per month.. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year. We have been busy with school, work and Church. We had a wonderful Christmas in Lovell with the Emmett's. Everyone was there and that was really nice... We have been thinking of all the projects we could do when the weather starts to heat up. If only money was as abundant as our ideas are.

A little boy in Clayton's pre-school brought a horse for show and tell. All the kids got a ride.

James is into everything. He is my biggest helper when it comes to throwing things out of baskets!

How they love their Great Grandma C.

This was our Christmas tree. We were all ready to head to the mountain when Joe was told that the College was selling trees for $10, Well the permit to cut one is $8 then a two hour trip to and from the mountain. My cheap won out.. So We went and we "hunted" for a tree that wasn't already sold.. It was fun, and the kids were able to make it to their primary activity.

Over Thanksgiving we went down to Mom and Dad's. While Dad was having back surgery Joe and I remodeled his bathroom that was in need of a remodel. It has been lime green for 20+ years. It took some serious primer that was very toxic, but it covered the lime green oil based paint. We also put in a vanity and medicine cabinet and removed the carpet and put down laminate tiles.
Crystal won this frog "froga froga" at school right before Thanksgiving.
The kids Favorite thing to do with Grandma. Making Pizza and Cinnamon rolls.. Clayton got a well needed hair cut from Joe after Crystal tried her hand at cutting other people hair. It wasn't to bad.All the boys after Clayton's hair cut.

We went to the annual parade of lights It was really cold. The wind was blowing and the snow was gently falling. It was magical. And one of the best things we got a parking spot within 1/4 block of the parade route so we could quickly return to warmth.
