It's Christmas Time!

The semester has ended and Christmas is almost here! Family is coming into town, the tree is decorated, presents are wrapped, and we are on vacation for two weeks! This is one of our favorite times of the year. We both survived finals last week, David is off work for two weeks, and school doesn't start back up until January 19th! We are on vacation! We are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. This will be Peter's first Christmas! Though he won't remember anything... we want to make this Christmas special :)

Peter is getting so big! He now has two teeth! His bottom two teeth poked through two weeks ago. We have started him on cereal and plan to introduce him to veggies next week. He is growing so fast and getting cuter every day.

Well... Gwen Hawkins, a good family friend, took some pictures of our little family along with the Murphy family, Yvonne's family. We didn't take a picture of the whole Murphy clan because Vanessa, the oldest who lives in Canada with her hubby, couldn't make it down :( we are going to miss them this Christmas... Anyway, here are some pictures of our little family.

Thanksgiving Break

Well, we made it to Idaho safely, despite the snow. We had to put chains on twice, each time we crossed over Donner Pass. That was an adventure! It was the first time either of us tried to put chains on. We had never even watched anyone put chains on before. But, David figured it out, and on the way back it went much more smoothly. Peter was a pretty good traveler. Every once in a while he would get a little fussy, but I would too if I was confined in a car seat for hours.


When we got to Annie's house in Idaho it was bellow freezing! I think it was about 7 degrees or so. But we sure had fun! We played games, laughed, ate, took pictures and videos. We had a wonderful time. Annie and Adam have a beautiful home. We were glad that we were able to make the drive and spend time with all the Reynders. Thanks for the fun time Annie :)

We got to meet little baby Jason! Annie and Adams newest addition. He is soooo cute! Here's a picture of him, Peter, and Grandma Jo.

Here is a picture that Paige took of our little family. We went to the state capital building in Boise to take some family photos. I think they turned out great! Thanks Paige :)

And here is a picture of the whole Reynders clan!
