Getting Ready For Christmas

We were really excited to go home for Christmas. Here are just some of the pictures we took during December. Two of our favorite things we did here in Washington for Christmas was going to a Live Nativity. It was put on by one of the other churches here but you stayed in your car and drove through it. They have it as though you were traveling to Bethlehem and then through Bethlehem and then you finally reached the Nativity. It was a special way to start off our Christmas and we hope to be able to do that every year we are here. We also went to " Nativity's around the World" this one is put on by the LDS church and they have 400 nativities from all around the world and some of them had the stories to go with them. It was fun to see all of them.

 There was one ornament that Kassidy could roll over and touch!

We were packed and ready for the 12 hour drive to Lyman! 

Happy Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was really great. We did thanksgiving at our apartment with some friends from our ward. It was a great opportunity to cook all of the food that our mom's normally cook. I guess we had to learn sometime. Trevor did most of the Turkey and it was really good and it looked amazing. We have so much to be thankful for. We were talking about how we had a very eventful year and we were so blessed. Our greatest blessing was having Kassidy, we can not imagine life without her. We missed our family but we are thankful for the friends we have made here. I was really bad and this is the only picture I took on thanksgiving!

10 Months

Our little Kassidy is 10 months old today! She is such a blessing in our lives, I can not imagine life without her. She is getting more personality and attitude everyday. Some of the things she is doing at 10 months are:
She goes in circles on her bum and kind of scoots around.
She can roll both ways now.
She loves to mimic sounds you are making and she is getting really good at it.
Her favorite word is Dad and she is starting to associate it with Trevor.
She also says yeah a lot.
She loves bananas, apples, eggs and pretty much everything we eat.
She loves when her friends come over to play.





              

Getting our Christmas Tree

On Wednesday we went and got our Christmas Tree, I know Trevor let me do it before Thanksgiving!! The weather was supposed to be nicer so that is why we did it early. it was a really pretty place. It is a little different getting a Christmas tree in Washington. We are used to walking through snow to get one but here it rained a lot the day before so we were walking through wet grass. Kassidy also really enjoyed being outside and she loved to watch our dog Phoebe running around. She also liked playing in the dirt and trying to eat rocks!  

                    It is not the prettiest tree we have ever had but its still a tree and that is what counts! I really missed going with my family to get Christmas Tree's this year but I am thankful that my amazing husband lets me carry on the tradition in our own little family.

Getting Colder

I just had to share these pictures of Kassidy with her cute new pink hat. In the 2nd picture Kassidy is asleep haha. When we got home her hat was over her eyes and she was fast asleep.

Fall Fun

 I wanted to get some pictures of Kassidy in the leaves, however this is the only one where she is looking haha. She is such a cute little girl and she loves to be outside and play in the dirt. We went fishing on Veteran's day and it was really fun. It was pretty cold but it was fun to get out and see somewhere new. 

Day at the Park

On Saturday Trevor studied in the morning and then after lunch we decided to go to the park for a little while. It was cold so we did not stay very long but it was fun to get out of the house and to get some fresh air. Kassidy's favorite part was the swing!
