Celebration of Thanksgiving

We had a very Merry Christmas. We had a great Thanksgiving with Nate's sister Julia and her family coming out to celebrate Thanksgiving. It is always fun when they come out. The highlight for me personally is we usually have a girls afternoon or something with no kids. Nate's parents set up their Christmas decorations which includes a train around the tree. The grand kids absolutely love the train. Lexi was sitting next to her cousin Kameron while watching the train and spontaneously decided to give him a kiss! It was very sweet.

Happy Holidays!

We had a wonderful Christmas. The best part was spending time with each other. Lexi has loved her new toys which has been a great help to have her busy while we are making preparations for Mara to come. Lexi's Aunt Kristin gave her a toy that sings the alphabet and Lexi sings right along. She doesn't get the the correct letters, but it is really cute to listen to her.

Molegone-ites

Nate's nickname to his brother Matt is Molegone. Nate had a mole removed a while back and his brother started calling him Molegone. After we were married Matt decided to call us Molegone-ites. When Lexi put the headband on; the first thought I had was she looked like a Nephite from the Book of Mormon. Then I thought Molegone-ites!!!

Mother Daughter Hike

The weather has been remarkably beautiful (especially since we were snowed in last week). Lexi and I decided to go out for a hike. Lexi walked the entire time until the end when her hands started bleeding from being overly scraped from falling on the rocks repeatedly. That was the only time she let me hold her. It was SO much fun to watch her discover things and hear her ramble the entire way. She was wiped out when we came home.
