Home again, Home again, jiggity jig...

So we just got back from our trip to Canada. It was great-- This trip was all about Susan :) We were there to celebrate a special day for her. She went through the temple on Saturday and it was HORRIBLE weather but it could not have been a more beautfiul day. It was perfect. Seriously perfect.

(It looked different though- covered in snow with snow drifts, wind and gray skies :)

It was really so nice to spend a relaxing week with not a lot to do :) I took advantage of the time and made these--


(attach to a ribbon and you have an easy and cute way to hang your Christmas cards)-- I might even make magnets out of them... so many things you could do with them

I met my little nephew David for the first time (rob's sister Kristi's baby)

We had a "Christmas Eve" party with cousins, Aunts, Uncles and grandparents. It was really great to visit with everyone and the kids did an impromptu talent show that was... umm, funny :) jax refused to participate. I guess he is already too cool for stuff like that :(

It was -26 degrees F when we left Canada at 10 am this morning. So it is nice to be back to +26 degree weather :) We came back to a shoveled driveway thanks to Hallie M- THanks Hallie M!!!
