Making Candy Houses

We spent an FHE making candy houses with friends. The kids pretty much loved it.

Christmas Party

We hosted the annual Trapnell Christmas Party this year. I only took three pictures, but I feel that they represent the night. Tons of people in the kitchen, little ones playing, and Tim's festive christmas sweater. It was a fun night and definitely the most amount of people we have ever had in our home.

Nativity

Samuel the Lamanite

Joseph and Mary

Angel and Shephard and Sheep

Wiseman with Baby Jesus and Mary

Baby Joel

We took a quick trip to Pocatello to see Ben and Janice's new baby boy. It was so fun to hold a tiny new little baby. My boys had a blast and we enjoyed some yummy food that was brought in. Hopefully next time we can stay a bit longer.

Funny little boy

asleep at church

 We have quite a character. It is fun to see his personality appear. Here are some funny pictures of him lately. He loves to be outside all the time, and if anyone is out there he has got to be with them.

he always eats the flour when i make bread

Devotional

We had such a nice night at the Christmas Devotional this year. Adam reached in the pocket of his overcoat and found his tickets from the last time we had gone - 2003. Anyways, it was so nice to see Amy and Ryan and Cinda and Dave. It totally felt like we were young again. It was quite a memorable night ending in a downpour of rain. 

Cliffs

We had a fun visit up to the Cliffs last month. We had some yummy dinner and not so yummy velveta cheese dip and enjoyed being with Dan's family and all the skiiers. It was so cold we all had to get into the hot tub. But it was a lot o fun and we stayed up way too late. I didn't get a picture of all the men in their robes after the spa though. Hopefully you can just imagine it.

We had such a nice dinner at Pete and Tami's home. It was such a beautiful day. But I didn't get any pictures of eating or food. Oh well, this is what we got. It was very nice to eat and play and relax all day long.

a little hike

Adam and I just took off exploring on bikes earlier this year. We had no kids, so we just took off into the sunset. We ended up ditching our bikes and hiking up a little hillside. So pretty looking out over everything.
