December and Christmas 2012

Snapshots of Idaho before I came home!

This was our Book of Mormon final...it was a pain in the rear but I got it done nonetheless.  Its a velcro version of Lehi's vision.  Supposed to be for primary...but I taught it to Shannon for the sake of finishing my final haha.

Shannon and I decorated the apartment.  We colored pictures, made chains/snow flakes, and had a blast buying cheesy things from the dollar store :)


Starting to take down the room...


Towards the end of school, Shannon and I played Monopoly every night--always with brownies or pudding. One of the two.  Had to use all of our food, right? ;)

So we made our pudding our makeup...

And it was quite enjoyable haha!

Bike rides!

Kiwi Loco!

Walmart with Austin


And of course, this lady got married.  So happy for her and Marcus!  Congrats Lana girl!

I know we've already seen more than one post about this Christmas that have the same pictures...but a lot of them are mine so I figured I would put some up haha!

Alan enjoying making popcorn

James too!

Apparently James was very happy to be playing this day :)

First attempt at a family picture...

Second attempt was better :)

Pretty exciting!

Nathan is always so lively :)

James was enjoying the Christmas Nativity play...poor guy was very sick.

Alan was very excited to be Joseph.  He and I were Mary and Joseph for multiple days to follow

Very excited!

Sick, but still playing
