Snow

Wow have we had some snow! This is our back yard...

Ashley with the reindeer. We have 3 reindeer in our front yard. One is completly buried in snow, & another has only it's head sticking out. She named them Rudolph, Kauline, & Tim. I have no idea where this came from. She loves to go outside & "play" with them.

These next 2 pictures were taken on  Christmas Day in front of Adam & Wendy's house next door.

Christmas Eve

Ashley with some of her Austad cousins doing the nativity on Christmas Eve. Ashley was Mary.

Crawford Family Party

Last weekend my side of the family all came to my house! It was so fun to have everyone over. Anyone who knows me very well knows I LOVE VISITORS. I even got accused of letting air out of my brothers tires to get them to stay longer. I was fighting my emotions all weekend because I was just so happy to have everyone there.

Why is it so hard to get a family picture?!

Santa

Santa Claus came to our ward Christmas party...

Santa Claus (uncle Adam) came to our house a few days early...

Monday night we kept getting texts from Adam & Wendi asking if Ashley was still awake. When the doorbell rang and Santa stood there I was a little confused but figured it out pretty quickly. He came in and gave Ashley a candy cane & stickers. When he left she asked, "Was that Uncle Adam?" I wish I could explain the tone in her voice. She was SO confused! Then she said, "he didn't bring me a dog!"

Pictures, pictures, & more pictures!

These past few months I have had the opportunity to work for Cultural Hall Home Decor. www.culturalhall.com I started in October selling pictures at roadshows. In November and December I have worked in the warehouse with almost every aspect of making the pictures. When I saw these pictures for the first time in August it was love at first sight! I immediately snapped a picture with my cell phone & sent it to Zac. He agreed they were beautiful (from just a cell phone picture) and we decided I should work for trade so we could get some for our home.

This past week I have been selling them out of my home. I'm not looking forward to hauling everything back to the warehouse. Anyone want pictures!?

It has been fun! Thank you so much to my aunt Jill who has been watching my girls!

Dance Production

Ashley's dance class was part of the production "The Little Match Girl". It reminded me so much of when I was a little girl (I didn't start until I was 5 years old though)! It was VERY entertaining and cute! It was fun to see other girls in the ward and her preschool too. Hopefully I can post the video soon...
