Our Big Girl!

I can't believe that Samantha is in Sunbeams! She is officially in primary at church. She gets to go to her own class, although she still asks to go play with the toys in nursery. She has adjusted so well and even read a scripture in front of the entire Jr Primary today (with Chris' help of course)! She loves her teachers and is so excited each week for church. Time has gone by so fast, I can't believe that she three! We are so proud of her and all of the milestones that we have been able to witness her reach! I have a picture to post but its on our other computer so I will post it soon!

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years

We were very blessed this year for many reasons. Since This Christmas especially we have been reminded of the many things that we have to be thankful for. We weren't able to travel this year but we truly enjoyed spending the holidays together. We loved having a nice quiet Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New years this year. We missed spending the holidays with our extended family but were happy to be able to teach the girls why we celebrate the holidays and what they are truly about. Thanksgiving we spent here at home and had a wonderful dinner and LOTS of leftovers. Christmas morning we made a special breakfast and watched The nativity Story while we ate. Then we opened our presents and played with all the new things for a while. We are all so grateful for all the gifts from everyone and the girls loved tearing through the paper to see what was inside! For dinner we went to TK and Tia's house and enjoyed delicious food and great friends while the kids enjoyed playing together. New years eve we didn't really do anything too exciting. We rented a movie to watch before the girls went to bed and then Chris and I just relaxed until just after midnight before going to bed. New years Day we went to Tk and Tia's again and had even more delicious food and so much fun with everyone! Now its back to school for both Chris and I. Things are about to get super busy again with school and a new baby so I apologize in advance to anyone who actually reads our blog for the lack of future updates. I will try my best to keep you all up to date.

Here are a couple picture of our Thanksgiving feast!
