Talking to Santa

 Our current ward didn't have Santa this year so we ended up going to our old ward. The kids love to talk to Santa. Of course Emma is way too old for that kind of stuff. . . lol.

Gingerbread houses

 Okay, so I went over board with the pictures so if you aren't family you might just want to skip over them! We got most of the grand kids together to decorate gingerbread houses at Grandma Richards. I know my kids love it and look forward to it every year.

Brace face

 So now that we are all moved and settled, I had promised Emma we would look into braces. Well, after shopping around we ended up going with Dr. Lineberry. Emma got her braces on December 18th and will have them on the next 20 - 24 months!

Boise Temple

We went to the temple before they dedicated it. It was so beautiful. I would have taken more pictures but it was too dark. Ella and I loved all the chandeliers, they were so sparkly and the fountain is beautiful!

Our first family BSU game

 We got a great deal on BSU tickets so we finally got to go as a family! We went with my best friend and her kids. We had so much fun. It rained here and there but nothing terrible.

 Ethan and Joseph

 We also got our family picture taken which ended up being our Christmas card, if i would have known i would have put on some make up!
