Christmas

I'm finally updated the blog again!  Here are some pictures from Christmas.  We spent Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with Brandon's as well as a few days after.  I failed at taking pictures this year but here a few that I did get.

Clara really likes to unload things.  Well she found my Mom's potato flakes box and before we could do anything it was snowing inside!  She was so happy!

 Christmas Eve at Grandma's house!

 Opening presents Christmas morning!

Playing with Nana Nette!

My little brother and his wife got a beautiful dog, Copper.  He and Clara have a very special relationship.  He tolerates her and she loves him. 

So many Christmas outfits!

We went and looked at the lights downtown in Brigham and then we walked over to the Tabernacle to see the Nativity.  I loved watching all the kids run around looking at the lights.  It was lots of fun.  I wish I would have been better at taking pictures but I think you get the idea. :)

Thanksgiving... kind of.

So I didn't really take pictures at Thanksgiving but the week before my sister had her baby so I have pictures of Kendra.  :)

Halloween

I am super behind in posting so I'm going to try and catch up before this new baby comes. My first stop is Halloween!

I started to make this super cute peacock tutu for Clara but every time I would try to put it on her she cried. So my mom dug out my brother Derek's first costume, a pumpkin! She didn't really get into the trick or treating or care for pumpkin carving but she sure loved the candy.   :)

While Daddy is Away

I'm going to skip a little bit. (Don't worry I will post pictures from earlier events, I'm just on the wrong computer.)  In April Brandon decided that he'd like to pursue a job instead of Grad school so we started looking for one.  It was a long and semi-stressful search but we have been blessed recently with a great job.  

Brandon on his first day of work!  I am so proud of this guy.  It was not an easy process to find this job and there were some pretty bleak looking days.  But he stuck it out and found the job that he really wanted.  We had a lot of help and couldn't have made it through without all the family and friends who supported us.  So thank you to everyone who kept their eyes open, gave us referrals, and fasted and prayed for us!

Clara loves her Daddy and we have to wander the house multiple times a day looking for him.  But in between wanderings we have to keep busy.  Here is a little look into our day.

We take pictures of ourselves.

And what's better than taking our pants on and wearing them on our head?

We love baths!

We nap while watching Frozen and make grumpy faces even when we're happy.

 We help Grandma decorate Grandpa's headstone.

We love dressing up, reading, and sitting on Mom's face.

We miss Daddy every day and can't wait until he gets home every day to play with us.

We are also super excited to announce that we are adding a sweet little boy to our family in May!  It will be crazy and fun and we can't wait!
