Logan is a genius. The kids want to jump when it's cold outside, but that's not all that fun for me since I'm pregnant and "not supposed" to jump on a trampoline, so I would get cold. Logan masterminded a plan to take the electric blanket outside. Genius!
Merit graduated to a new carseat after Christmas. I've been agonizing about it for a while, I want one just like Chapter's but they don't sell that model anymore. I ended up going with the new version, because I do love Chap's so much, but honestly, all the things they did to improve it just annoy me. I guess I'm getting old and stuck in my ways:)
She likes it though, and it's a really pretty and girly seat!
As per tradition, we went out to eat with Logan's family on Christmas Eve (to George's Corner again) and then drove to look at Christmas lights.
Our kids are young, they aren't old enough to be so excited to wake up super early on Christmas and drive us crazy. Christmas morning started bright and early with Grandpa knocking on the door. I was not very happy, but what do you do? We decided to ignore him, but eventually the knocking woke Merit up and we had to get up and let him and Shirley in and go wake up Chapter.
The kids got what they asked Santa for.
Chap: a Camelbak backpack just like the one he saw at REI and a dog pillow.
Mer: a Little People doll house and a cat pillow.
They got spoiled as usual, and even got a trampoline this year! That was a Black Friday adventure:)
But overall, a good time was had by all and we even made it to church!
Merit made her first snowman at my mom's the weekend before Christmas. It was a pretty good time, Chap liked eating snow, which freaked me out, but oh well, he hasn't died yet:)
As usual, I am bad at taking pictures of my own life events, but I turned 29 on Dec. 9 this year. It was fun because it was on a Friday, and Logan gets off early on Friday's, but it was also the ward party and he had to cook :( Chapter also guilted Kristy into ordering me a birthday cake since I didn't have one. And that, is the only picture I have...
The leaves finally came down on Dec. 5, it took forever this year! As usual, we raked them up into Logan's truck and fed them to Grandpa's cows.
We went to Sevier County for Thanksgiving, and while we were there we went to cut a Christmas tree with Justin and his fiance's family. I was negligent and didn't pack snow clothes for the kids and it was pretty cold, but luckily Logan found a great "corner" tree pretty quickly and it was a memorable time.
