Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Can you believe this crazy beautiful snow? I know it is not fun to drive in, but I love the snow. It is so beautiful to wake up to huge blankets of thick snow. I usually get sick of it around Feb. or March. But until then I love it!


Every year Alan and I pick a homemade project to make for Christmas gifts. This year we decided to make deck o pauge (spell?) photograph glass plates (long description I know). Anyway we procrastinated and was way to exhausted from the holiday fun to start them. So I was going to start them the night before Christmas eve and I didn't because I was throwing up and nauseous (not from being pregnant), and so was Brayden. So I was excited the next day to be feeling better so Alan and I could get started on them. But he was now throwing up and sick and so was victoria. So I had allot to do...all by myself. I didn't get to bed until 3 am, but I did get all the plates made, wrapped some last minute presents and got everything else done too. All night I had a prayer in my heart that I wouldn't get too overwhelmed, and with help I was OK. But I must say, I love how the plates turned out!


We all had a wonderful Christmas with lots of fab. gifts! But I did feel sorry for toria crying through opening presents with her throw up bucket! Luckily she felt much better later in the day!

This picture is from our ward's Christmas party. If you look close you can see a burn right next to Brady's lips. My curling iron was on in the bathroom, and he walked in and decided to touch his lip to it (I am not sure why?) And 2 to three weeks after this picture, he went to the dentist to get a filling. And afterwards with his mouth still dead, he chewed his pour lip to pieces. His mouth is now finally recovering.
