COULDN'T RESIST


I couldn't help it...I HAD to put this picture of CJ up because I think it's so stinkin' cute! He's just chillin' on the couch watching his morning Sesame Street. Melt my heart!

CHRISTMAS NATIVITIES

Each year our stake (the Spokane Stake) displays thousands of nativities from all around the world and offers a Christmas program every night for 5 days during the month of December. It's open to the public and a wonderful way to do missionary work. We went with some friends this weekend and took advantage of the nativity photo op:


Back row (L-R): Paige, Bryce, and CJ; Tyson, Brody, and Heather Dobbs; Becca, Audrey, and Levi Adams; Front row (L-R): Misy and Shay Wells; Abby Adams

ARE THESE A BRIBE?


After a week of playing multiple football games a night, Bryce decided to sweeten Paige up before their date night with a beautiful bouquet of flowers...

It totally worked :)

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LITTLE LIKE CHRISTMAS

The weekend after Thanksgiving, Paige put up the few decorations that we have. No, we don't have a tree, but we're not scrooges...and here's the proof:

Yes, we make people kiss under our mistletoe :)

THANKSGIVING 2008

Due to some last minute changes (i.e. Bryce's finals), we weren't able to go to Utah for Thanksgiving this year like we had been planning. Though we were very sad about not getting to spend time with our families, we really enjoyed the small Thanksgiving that we had here in Spokane with some close friends, the Adams' and the Engar's.



Yes, Paige did the turkey! And it turned out pretty good...




Bryce carving the turkey at the Engar's. As the husband of the woman who made the turkey, the responsibility fell on him...and he did great! :)
