December Highlights

December was a very busy month with the move thrown right in the middle. It's been a while since I've done any scrapbook pages, so I did these collages of some of our December activities. Dave's sister, Lori, and her family came for a visit from Arizona the week before Christmas. It was great to see them and all the kids loved hanging out. One of our big accomplishments was finally getting our Christmas tree up and decorated! It was a busy month, but we have lots of fun memories.

Picture with Santa

The only visit to Santa we had this year was at the ward Christmas party. They insisted on doing family pictures with Santa - otherwise I would have opted for just the kids.

See last year's picture here.

New House

The last few months have been busy with move related stuff. Getting our house ready to sell, working through negotiations on our new home, packing up and moving! Well, last weekend was the big move. We are now in our new home. I haven't taken many pictures, but I'll try to get some and post them. We had so much help from so many different people during our move. Both of our parents helped us tons. My parents were in town this past week - and can you believe we didn't get any pictures? Right before they left yesterday, I thought we were taking pictures in front of the house, but my memory card was not in my camera. Oh well.

Here's the last picture we took of our family in front of our old house.


Here's a picture of the kids in front of the new house. I'll try to take a better shot so you can see the house better.

By the way, our house is new to us, but it's not a new house. It's about 20 years old. It's in our same ward, which we're very happy about. The kids will keep going to their same schools - and we'll decide next school year if we'll change to schools that are closer to us.

Here's a picture of our house. It's a single story with the bedrooms on one side, and the living/dining/family room kitchen on the other side.
