Our Home

Did I mention we built a home??
We signed our papers and 80 days later we're living in our brand new home! It was so fun to drive by and see the progress each day. It's just around the corner from our apartment and the school Caden teaches at, so it's perfect.

The biggest change so far is that it has been so quiet! We're used to neighbors next to us and above us since we've been married, so it's nice we can watch movies, listen to music, do laundry and even talk whenever we want. I'm sure Caden's glad the home building is over with cause I kept changing my mind about colors and cabinets etc. It was a fun journey and I'm sure it's only the beginning with owning a home.

moments that make me laugh

Maggie was flipping through pages of our Ensign and there was a picture of Thomas S Monson. I asked her, "Who's this?"
She immediately tells me "Ta-ta" (Santa), with a huge smile on her face. I guess he is a "jolly" man, but it seems we're still a little in the Christmas spirit.
I kept telling her, "He's a prophet. Can you say prophet." "Ta-ta" she says.
We'll keep practicing

Christmas!

Earlier during the Christmas week we celebrated my grandpa's 82nd Birthday! We have a big christmas dinner, sing songs and share stories about our Saviors birth. This family party always gets me ready for Christmas.

On Christmas Eve, after watching Maggie play a beautiful baby Jesus in the nativity at the Timms Christmas party with all of her cousins, some yummy food and gifts, we went to the Marks for a special surprise!

We were going to find out if baby Mark would be a BOY or GIRL!!
I first had a feeling it was going to be yet another boy, but inside I couldn't help but think it was really going to be a girl....

It was such a blessing to celebrate Christmas on Sunday were we could attend church and partake of the sacrament. I'm grateful for the birth and life of our Savior and for the blessings I have in my life from Him.
