White Christmas...

I know that it is way past Christmas now but I have been so busy lately that I haven't made time to get our blog updated.
Hope you enjoy!
The Saturday before Christmas we had our ward Christmas Party. I thought the girls looked so cute in their matching dresses but I could not get a picture of them together. So I had them hold a present (which was not the best idea) and Minster wanted to hold the one she got from Aunt Judy. So of course Iya had to do the same. Minster was SO excited to open her present from Aunt Jude. She sent everyone their own individual gift. It was so sweet! We thought FOR SURE Iya would SCREAM when we put her on Santa's lap....but she didn't! She just stared at him while Minster did all the talking.


The Girls


So we left on the 23rd for Oklahoma and were so happy we came then because there was a huge snow storm on Christmas Eve. The winds were in the 40's and it was snowing all day. It was just amazing how cold, snowy, and windy it was. Dad and Isaac had to go feed cows and were gone for 5 hours and had several near deaths experiences! It was amazing they made it home. When they got back Dad was so cold...



Brookelynn and Emma played Princesses with the girls and as always they loved it! It is officially Minsters new favorite thing!

The windows looked so festive with the snow on them.

Nice hair!


HAPPY on IYA'S bike. She said that hers is "broken" and that "Santa brought me the wrong one" so we have to take her bike to Walmart to "get one like Iya's"


Me and Monte on Christmas morning. He got me the Carheart vest I'm wearing.


Minster in Grandpa's truck on the Saturday after Christmas. We went to go see Grandpa's land.

Can you believe how much it snowed in OKLAHOMA! This is Uncle John's Creek which runs right through Dad's land.

Isaac and Preston played in this snow drift that was just along the road. It was really deep. On Christmas day when we were on our way to dinner at Bryan and Donna's house we got stuck in the snow in the van. It was crazy, we were just going along and all of the sudden the road in front of us was completely covered in a snow drift. We got completely stuck! This farmer happened to be outside right where we were and he started up his tractor and pulled us out. It was so nice and we were so grateful. My Dad and Alex both got stuck too-in separate trucks. The snow was just crazy-the drifts were so deep!
