Christmas 2012
The tree is up and the presents are bought. Now lets enjoy this holiday season.
Lucy came and spent a night with Auntie Carmen and Uncle Jason because her mommy was working the next day. I love that girl.
And I think she love me too ;)
Well another Christmas has come and gone. What a wonderful holiday season it has been. We stayed up late, ate lots of yummy treats, played rook and greed and many hours of visiting. This picture is Jason and I on the Sunday before Christmas.

Aren't my parents the cutest?!
This year the girls were in charge of setting the table for Christmas dinner. I found those cute vintage name tag frames at Michaels and they were on 50% off. I loved them.
My mom slaved over Christmas dinner once again and it was a hit! She even made 2 turkeys, one to cut and eat and another one for looks. Everything was delicious!
Later that night we did some Karaoke ....... for hours
Christmas Eve we spent at Troy and Andrea's
Time for the opening of Christmas PJ's
Jason's new favorite college football team this year is the Oregon Ducks. I am right there watching every game with him this year and thought I just had to get matching jammies and
HE LOVED THEM!

This year we gave to Lisa and Ron. We did a basket of
"A Few of Our Favourite Things"
We left Troy's & Andreas at lunch time and we headed to Calgary to spend a few days with Jason's mom. On the road we called Jason's dad to wish him a Merry Christmas. He was spending the day with Laurilee's family which was nice.
When we got to Jason's moms house we had Nachos for dinner. YUMMY!
We spent our time opening presents from Jason's mom and had a great time together.
Boxing day we spent around the house, hit up the mall for an hour and then over to Aunt Sara's place for dinner and games.
Cousin Morgan and Jason
The next day we spent painting Jason's mom house and then in the afternoon and evening at the beautiful new Calgary temple. It was so beautiful and was so neat to do more family names. I love going to the temple and the peace that I feel when I go.
We had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. It was great to be with both families and remember the birth of our Saviour. It has been a year with a lot of ups and downs. We have not had any luck getting pregnant again but are still positive. I have my sad moments but for the most part I try and keep pretty positive. I know we are doing all we can and when the time is right then we will add to our family. We are looking forward to what 2013 holds for us.
