Thanks mom and dad for taking us to dinner and for treating us all over thanksgiving break! I'm excited to come back home in ONE week!! i know you guys feel the same way...right?!

This is pet attempt #2....two baby bunnies! A friend in the ward's 3 bunnies turned into 10....with another litter on the way! My friend THINKS they're both males, hopefully they're both the same, whatever they are! I will take them to a vet and just have them tell me for sure in a few months. I really, really don't want to end up with millions of rabbits! They will just be outside rabbits, in the summer we'll have to rig something up for them to survive. But I'm hoping they'll be low-maintence, fun pets for the kiddos.

A few pics...

Tonight when Rod got home from work we worked on the ol' Christmas Family picture. This one of the girls is cute...

It's definately better than this one...

After we finished the Christmas photo, we went to get a tree. Rod was going to just bring one home on his way home from work, but he had to hurry home before it got dark so we could have our photo shoot. Then we went all together to get the tree. I'm glad we did. The girls had a blast, and the tree place was really fun for them. There were lights all around, a huge fake snowman, and they loved looking at all the trees.

This isn't the tree we got, ours doesn't have dead spots...but this picture had Lizzie in it...

Caitlin hanging on the fence to the tree lot...



Rod & Lizzie.....


Anyway, that's the first week back of Christmas preps! We decorated inside, and it's starting to feel a little more like Christmas. The leaves on our trees are again covering the grass, and I actually had to wear long sleeves today. I even got to wear a scarf tonight at the tree farm!

This is our nativity that I'm so excited about! I've never had a nativity to display before, and the Willow Tree one that's really nice is crazy expensive. I found this one from christianbook.com for $30!! It's resin, so it doesn't break (at least not easily) and it looks awesome. Anyway, I'm really excited about it, so I had to post a picture..

some pictures....more to come

Some Pics of Thanksgiving

We LOVE California!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so fun to see everyone! When we got home and called mom and dad, Lizzie's first question to dad was "Can we come to your house again?" Too cute. Anyway, this is a call for pictures! I think I took a total of one picture the whole week...so any you guys have I would LOVE!! It was so wonderful to see everyone!

Thanks mom & dad for letting us invade your house, dirty your kitchen, and disrupt your sleeping patterns!! We love you!!!
