Welcome Home!!

During Christmas break it seemed that most people that came in contact with Nathan got sick. Katelynn had an awfully stuffy nose and was pretty miserable for a few days. But she got better and had a fun last few days in California. Well, she gave me a welcome home surprise and was sick once again for a few days. To pass time as we were sitting on the office floor I decided to take some pictures. Now I think my little girl knows what a camera is and is quite photogenic. Despite feeling no good, she managed to smile and look so cute for the camera. She quite enjoyed herself while the camera was focused on her.

Christmas at home

We have had a wonderful time this Christmas time visiting with family and friends! After driving all the way down from Cedar City we visited with Nathan's family and then went to my uncle's wedding reception. Despite Katelynn crying the whole 20 minute drive to the reception she actually calmed down and had a lot of fun with everyone there. We were so happy to make it to the reception to celebrate the wedding.

Ethan knows Katelynn likes to grab things so he holds out his finger for her to grab on to.



Nichole told me she had gotten Annalise this Christmas dress so I went to Children's Place so they could have cute matching dresses.


Ethan wanted in on the action.

What a cute family!

Here we are getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner.


We all joined in on the nativity this year. It was very fun to have the LaPortes there with us this Christmas. Annalise and Trenton were Mary and Joseph and Katelynn was baby Jesus.
Ethan wore his new robe to be a good looking shepard. (I can't really remember what everyone else was..)



After the celebrations on Christmas Eve we went over to sleep at the Wilbur's. Here is Katelynn with the fun toy Santa brought by for her!! She was so excited. She loved all the wrapping paper and fun toys!






We excitedly returned to my parent's for the big phone call!! Dan is doing great and it was so much fun to talk to him.

After talking to Dan and the LaPorte's talking with Wes we finally opened our Christmas presents around 3ish. This definitely the latest we have ever opened presents.



This is the family picture that we took at Nathan's extended family Christmas party.

New Car

A few weeks ago my mom was in an accident and the insurance company totaled it. They needed a new car and chose the Honda CR-V. They have been looking for the model they want in the color they want and it finally came in. It came in today and they were pretty excited.

They were so excited that they didn't put shoes on to come show me the new car.
