Christmas

I love decorating and lights!  Here is the house.

We got together with our friends to decorate gingerbread houses.

Christmas morning at our house!

We got to talk to Austin and Taylor on Skype!

A few days after Christmas, we headed to Southern California to visit family and friends.

Sarah School Project

Sarah had a geometry project.  It took a long time and she did a great job on it!

Thanksgiving

It was just Sarah, Brian and I for Thanksgiving this year.  We got our tree and went to the movies before we ate Thanksgiving dinner.

Austin spent 3 weeks in Utah, then headed off to Cincinnati, Ohio.  Here are some pictures of him with his district, mission presidents and companion.

Halloween

I decided to decorate cupcakes for the Halloween party.  I think they turned out pretty good!  Also, I dressed up as a pirate fairy for the party.
