Here are some pictures of D-day. Even though drop

off was tough, we are happy that we got to spend a good

day together and we are so happy that he has decided to

serve a mission.

Joshua's farewell was awesome. We had a huge turnout and it was standing room only in my house for dinner afterwards. Josh gave an amazing talk and we are so thankful for all of the wonderful family and friends that came up in such snowy weather to celebrate with us.

Levi's Bareback Ride

Levi decided to follow in his daddy's footsteps and try bareback riding. I was not to happy about it, but David was sure that he would hate the first ride and decide that it wasn't for him. That didn't happen! He loved it and wants to do it again. I am not sure how I feel about it. Pretty scary! Notice how close the horse came to crushing his pretty little head. Not something a mom wants to see.

Cassidy and Cora were asked to sing a couple songs for the ward Christmas party. It was fun and they did a great job. Cassidy did get so nervous that she forgot to smile. Notice the one little smile from her during this song. I was pulling funny faces and I finally got to her. It was a great night. I am so lucky to have such wonderful children.

2nd annual Christmas tree hunting party. This time we went with great friends and family. It was so much fun and I think we all found the perfect trees for us. I think that we will make this a yearly tradition. Josh , Stokey, Levi, Cassidy, Cora, David, and Heather

The pretty view of the sun going down. We barely made it out before dark.
