Christmas morning

This year the idea of Santa was magical to Easton. We put out cookies for the first time and wrote him a letter. Plus this was also the first year he went to see Santa and didn't scream or get scared. He was the exact opposite telling Santa exactly what he wanted for Christmas. (PS. Did you know Bass Pro Shops has pictures with Santa for free! Plus a carousel and a little workshop to write letters all for free! It was awesome!)

Here are the boys on Christmas Eve in their Christmas pajamas!

Gavin loved his presents

Gavin also loved the bows and ribbons just as much as the toys inside. Go figure

Pretend Fire house from Grandma Karch

The two main things he told Santa he wanted was a BIG dinosaur and a Thomas Train. Santa pulled through :)

Scooter from Grandma Hunter

It was a great day full of good memories! Here's to Gavin's first Christmas and our first Christmas in Georgia!

Gingerbread house and train

I had lots of fun (quite possibly even more than Easton) making fun Christmas treats this year. 

We made a Gingerbread house, Gingerbread train, sugar cookies (not pictured) and Christmas trees from ice cream cones. 

The House

This picture is from when we were decorating sugar cookies. I probably didn't get a picture of the cookies because Easton was eating them as fast as we were decorating them. Which is the best part anyway right?

Our Christmas trees

Play Group at the Farm

I never posted about the time our ward play group went to the farm. We have lots of fun little ones in our ward and had a great time feeding animals, having a picnic lunch, listening to a story, and picking out a baby pumpkin! I guess this has been a tradition now for a few years and I'm glad we were able to be apart of it this year. 

 We fed these goats and cows. These are by far the coolest looking cows I have ever seen!

It was a fun and beautiful fall day!

Thanksgiving in AZ

Wow I have a lot of catching up to do. I just realized I haven't posted anything since Halloween. So now you'll have to get Post Halloween, Christmas, New Years, and other updates all at once. But for now lets talk about Thanksgiving. We went to AZ for Thanksgiving and got to see lots of family and friends. It made me really miss everyone back home. Easton had a great time with his cousins. They had a sleep over with grandma every night we were there. 

Poor Grandma was about to be pushed off the air mattress by Bailey...

We also saw Hunger Games in AZ and went out to eat at Oregeno's with our best friends. Seeing them brought back lots of good memories. 

Katie was really cold and warming her hands over the candle. For some reason this picture reminds me of a time when we went camping. The Workman's must really have a thing for candles (and stripes!)

(See what I mean)

It was a great time, but way too short! I miss these folks and wish I could see them everyday!

We also got to see some other friends that stopped by for a quick visit. I felt like we had a lot of people we wanted to see and not enough days to do it, but I am really grateful for those who came by and made me feel  so loved!

Visits with Natalie and Shelby

Isabel and her sweet new little girl Stella

 I finally got to meet all the sweet babies my friends have had since we've been gone. 

 David and Abby hosted a dinner at their house the night before we left. Again, so glad we got to see everyone, I just wish it could have been for longer. 

Love these chubby twinners!

Oh and we took some Hunter family photos while we were in AZ since the whole Hunter fam was able to come and be together for Thanksgiving. We added a few more family members since the last pics we took so I'm glad we got an updated picture. 

 We are the only family who is NOT contributing to this girl cousin photo :P
