MERRY CHRISTMAS
December 26, 2016
Our Christmas season was packed full of time spent with family. Having both of our families only 10 minutes away from one another means time spent together with all of them, including extended family. But we also wouldn't have it any other way! We've had lots of laughing, caroling, and even more good food. Christmas Eve we spent time with the Henry's for a progressive dinner. It was crazy having 25 of us in each location, starting with our house for appetizers, the Haertlings' for soup and salad, and the Henry's for dessert. And that wasn't even everyone! But the best part was finishing up caroling, visiting good friends, and the reenactment of the Nativity we do every year. This year we had TWO children in it. It still seems weird that we have two kids sometimes. Elle got to star as the baby Jesus. It was SO sweet seeing our niece Emma hold her. It may be my new favorite picture. Harper of course wanted to wear a bright green tutu and wedding veil-so we'll call her an angel.
On Sunday we woke up early, attended church, and then spent the rest of the evening having all of Ashley's family at our house. It was our first time cooking prime rib and we almost overdid it, but really, you can't mess up prime rib, right?! Harper and Elle were totally spoiled and we may even have one or two presents under the tree for them still!
We hope you all had a very, Merry Christmas and enjoyed your time spent with family and friends. We are so grateful for all our many blessings that come from up above, and most importantly, for our Savior, Jesus Christ. We are so blessed to know that He lived and died for us and that our family can be together forever because of Him.

HELLO DECEMBER
December 4, 2016
That night we decided to watch Miracle on 34th St and have hot chocolate. Harper loved watching Santa Claus on TV and decided she was ok with coloring him a picture of what she wanted for Christmas. So on Saturday we took her to the big, red, mail box to send it off. Elle asked for a personalized blanket and Harper asked for a power wheels. Ashley thinks she's old enough to get one, and Marcus said, "Maybe next year."

HAPPY 32 YEARS

Happy Birthday to one of our favorites! Marcus is always
laid back when it comes to his birthday but this year he was especially so. It
was on a Wednesday, and he had clients scheduled tilled late. But of course we
still had to celebrate! So the girls’ and I visited him at work so he could
show off our newest. Harper loves to visit Marcus at work, even though she
TOTALLY clams up whenever she walks in. She talks about it non-stop and then
nothing! Not even a word to anyone while we’re there. We always think how funny it is to see her
“shy side” because that’s totally not her personality. But when she visits she
gets juice boxes, pockets full of candy, and lots of stickers by all of the
legal assistants. Maybe that’s why she likes it? So we took Marcus out to lunch
at his favorite, Red Robin, and ate burgers, endless lemonades, and fries until
we couldn’t handle anymore. Later that night the Haertling’s stopped by and we
watched the BYU game, FaceTimed family, and sang “Happy Birthday” with a candle
in a Blizzard. All of Marcus’ favorites all packed in. Happy Birthday to our
new 32 year old!
