Afternoon with Travis and Jenny

Travis and Jenny took a vacation to see Jenny's parents in Washington and luckily we were able to get together for the afternoon. It wasn't a long visit but we had lunch, exchanged presents, and enjoyed eachother's company. Their Christmas present to us was a beautiful framed picture of the Seattle temple. They enjoyed seeing how big Kamlea had gotten and it was wonderful to see them and catch up a little bit!

Rockin Around the Christmas Tree!

It's December, that means it's Holiday time and Christmas is in the air! A few weeks ago Sean, Kamela and I decorated our Christmas tree. We had the Christmas music playing and even had an eggnog toast afterward. It was so fun and reminded me of old times and traditions.

Thanksgiving

This was the first Thanksgiving I spent out of Idaho and away from my family. I have to admit I missed them and the traditional game of spoons at aunt Candice's. Sean and I did have a very nice Thanksgiving though. Sean's mom and brother came up to spend the day with us. We had a delicious ham dinner which we ate on the floor using the coffee table because we don't have a kitchen table or chairs. Everyone went around and said what they were grateful for, which is my favorite tradition. We spent the afternoon enjoying eachother's company and having nice family time. Sean's mom left at about 5 that evening but his brother stayed with us until Saturday. Sean and him had fun playing the xbox 360 all weekend! This Thanksgiving experience made me realize that I do love and miss my parents and my siblings and I wish I could spend every holiday with them. But I also realized that it's ok to celebrate the holidays and start new family traditions with my husband and daughter.

Halloween

Kamela's second halloween! We went trick or treating to all the stores in the mall Kamela had a total blast and enjoyed the candy a little too much! We also went to a friend's house so they could see us in our costumes. I was a ref, Kamela was the most adorable lion ever! and Sean was a derranged clown!

Potato Museum

Sean, Kamela and I, took an afternoon to visit the potato expo in Blackfoot Idaho just so we could say we've been to a potato museum! It was a fun and intersting experience. We learned alot about different kinds of potatoes, different sizes, and the different tools used to farm potatoes. We saw pictures of the world's largest potato which is 80 pounds and we were able to see the old fashioned tools and the new tools used to farm potatoes. I never knew going to a potato museum could be so fun!
