'Tis (or was) the season - finishing 2013

Welcome one, welcome all. I am really good at blogging every 3-4 months or so - you're welcome. ;)

I guess I will start with Thanksgiving.We went to Texas to spend some time with family. Here are some pictures from our trip!

Henry has some pretty cute cousins.

This is when we were waiting for our ride home from the airport. I couldn't resist getting a picture of my boys taking a little walk.

My baby has a beautiful smile.

Our lovely tree!

This was our big Christmas present to our family last year - a good start on our food storage!

These are some pictures from our branch Christmas party. When the primary put on a nativity scene, Henry was absolutely fascinated. He went up there and even tried to get in baby Jesus' manger. It was so funny I couldn't keep still enough to get a picture. He was also confused as to why the kids were dressed so differently. He would approach them and tilt his head sideways and try to get their eye contact as if to get some answers. I pretty much couldn't breathe for ten minutes. I also posted some videos of it. Sorry for the poor quality - it was on my phone.

Every year our local fire department and police department turn their sirens on and bring Santa around the neighborhoods on a firetruck to wave to all the children. We heard the "wee-ooo wee-ooo's" (which is what Henry calls a firetruck or anything that has a siren) and had to run to see it! We only made it just in time to see them driving away but enjoyed it nonetheless.
