Annual Christmas Tree Hunt

We met up with a group of friends for the Christmas Tree hunt on Saturday. We all dispersed into the forest in search of the "perfect" tree and ended up finding a beautiful tree. The kids enjoyed running through the forest, eating a ton of marshmallows, and drinking hot cocoa. Great day with our friends.

Santa has arrived in Bend

On Friday, the kids and I were lucky enough to see Santa arrive in a helicopter to Bend, OR!! The kids were super excited (until Santa stepped out of the helicopter and then Caden wanted nothing to do with him)! Addie have him hugs, told him what she wanted for Christmas and ratted out her brother to the news crew that was interviewing her! She said that she had been good, but her brother has been naughty!! She ended up on the local news and the front page of the paper!

Very Thankful

This year, we have some many reasons to be thankful! Most importantly for our children who bring us joy each and every day. Our supportive family and friends, the beautiful place to get to call home, and good fortune also top the list. 2013 has been a memorable year to say the least!

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Sisters with Riley, Leslie, and GG. Yummy dinner and great company.
