Simply Having a Wonderful CHRISTmas time!

Deeken and Noah have matching shoes, Micah noticed it one day and asked if she and Josie could have some too one day. It was really cute, but even though Micah has pretty small feet, I can't find any that would have sizes to fit both my girls. So that will have to wait...but I am enjoying the co-ordinating clothes. This will not be the last time you see this.

And sadly I am sure this will not be the last time you see this either! On Thursday I was driving Micah home from ballet. We were stopped at a light to turn onto our street. In front of me was a furniture truck. When the light turned green we went through the light. We traveled for about a block. Then the truck stopped. I though how weird for there to be traffic, especially at this time of day. Then the BEEP BEEP started. I screamed, "NO!!!" and Layed on the horn, but to no avail! SO FLIPPIN' FRUSTRATING! I am surely counting my blessings that Neither Micah or I was hurt, and that it wasn't my fault. I was telling my friend that I wish you had a quota of car accidents for your life time or at least in a year and then you were exempt for the rest of said time.

So we decided to take our rental car and go with some friends to get a CHRISTmas tree. We were hesitant at first, because we weren't sure if with John's rotation we might be able to sneak to Utah for CHRISTmas, but alas we won't be, so we are so glad we got a great smelling, beautiful tree!

Micah, Clara, and Noah

Deeken fell in the mud. We got him cleaned up, but his hands were very cold after.

Mike and Hannah. It is very rare we get both of our doctor husbands to be with us. FUN TIMES!

My Oregon tree hugger!

Micah asked me just the other day if we could move back to Oregon.

"Why?" I asked. (Secretly in a lot of ways wishing the same.)

"Because it is much more fun there."

In someways I agree, but having friends like the English's has made it worth it. Plus, we get to take them back to Utah with us!

and who wouldn't be grateful to have a friend who can make your onory child smile like this.

and who thinks to bring candy canes on a cold outing like this!

Here is the complete English Family...even with baby #3.

The whole Farr Family. Cold but, having a WONDERFUL CHRISTmas time

And a trip to see Santa Claus. In Idaho, they have this special boat ride where you can go see Santa and lots of wonderful lights.

But I have to think this was my kids favorite part.

Really, there isn't much that can beat Hot Chocolate!

Santa Claus read out of the kids on the NICE list. All four of our kids were on there. Go figure...Santa must get it wrong sometimes!

OH, so Handsome!

I LOVE my beautiful girls!

Noah was having to great a time running all over the boat with these guys.

What a great time of year! We hope all of you are having some fun times too.
