Christmas

Here is a quick Christmas summary for us!

Our flight got into Colorado only a few days before Christmas, so we packed a lot of things into a few days, but we really had fun!

Going to the mall to see Santa!

 

Waiting in line

Cam with the Ice Princess

 

It’s a tradition to sit on Santa’s lap and get a picture all together!

Our restaurant tradition! Mom and Dad gives us clues on the way there and we try to guess what the restaurant is. Hans and I both guessed it this year :) Golden Corral

On Christmas eve we always open one present ( pajamas ) this year we all got sweat pants and jackets.

On Christmas Eve we did some Caroling this year. It was cold, but still fun. We also got together with good friends from the ward and had a white elephant gift exchange.

On Christmas morning we had church at 9 am, so since our Santa presents aren’t wrapped, my parents covered them with sheets so we could see them when we got back from church.

Here are our stockings on Christmas eve.

Jumbo size stockings.

Then here they are in the morning.

We also got to talk to our Missionary, Elder Smith in New York on Christmas. We were able to talk to him for over 2 hours! It was so good to be able to hear his voice and catch up with him :)

We have had a lot of fun with family here! Now on to New Years!

Lately

Here is just an update on our life lately :)

Pictures from my phone!

Work Christmas get together. Love those girls!

Having fun with Sarah and Jaren!

Making gingerbread houses

I had a very sad gingerbread house…

Sarah’s fell too, but the boy’s houses stayed up strong.. haha.

Hans and Jaren both did Halloween sides. This is Hans’. Who knew he was so artistic?

Sarah and I like to take pictures!

 

We went to an arcade, and we all bought mustaches with our tickets.

 

hahaha. So much fun!

Hans is done with this semester which is a relief for him! We are so ready to be with family for Christmas, can’t wait! And now we are trying to prep ourselves for the next few months, only a few more months until graduation. I’m excited for graduation, and so is Hans, we have been waiting for this! At the same time, moving and finding a job, can be a little stressful. Life moves along so quickly!

Merry Christmas everyone ! We hope everyone has a great Christmas, remembering our savior, and feeling the love that should be felt this time of year!
