I am still trying to bring my pictures up to date with present time. I left off with Zoo Lights before Christmas so here is Christmas morning! The biggest hit as far as toys went this year were these remote control helicopters. Isaac, Sadie, and especially Joel flew those things all around the house everyday of their vacation and then as soon as they got home from work or school. It was a fun season!

We went to Zoo Lights at the Point Defiance Zoo with Joel's sister Neeley and her family. It was very beautiful and very cold! The kids were troopers!

At Christmas time Joel's brother Tanner was around with his sweet wife Jessica, and their new baby girl Layla. I just think they are both such good Dad's. And my neice Layla is so beautiful just like a princess!

Ethan trying out being a pirate! Arrgh!

Another annual tradition is a visit to Snowshoe Evergreen Tree Farm for our Christmas Tree. We usually start the morning off at Cattin's with my brother Jeremy's family and my mom for breakfast then it is off to get our Christmas trees.

For Thanksgiving break the Olsens came up from Utah and we all went to the Children's Museum which was really fun. Here are just a few pictures of that great trip.

Here is Ethan! He is 6 months old now. He is a very sweet baby. He smiles alot and just has this happy spirit that we all enjoy to be around. Each of our children have been joyful blessings and Ethan just adds to our testimony of how glad we are that families are forever!
