Let the Christmas Stories Begin

We have limited space on our bookshelves these days. To make room, I store the Christmas stories away with the Christmas decorations and only pull them out at Christmastime.  It makes it extra exciting and fun to read all of the Christmas books. 

 

Gobble, Gobble

Sadie and Zoie drew some turkey pictures. The were so cute. 

 

Thanksgiving with Relatives

On Thanksgiving day, we celebrated with family at Grandma and Grandpa Gallahaher's house. We got to see baby cousin Delaney for the first time! What a cutie. Later, we went to Grandma Trapp's house too. The kids had fun with their cousins all day. We had a good time with family. 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year I made my first homemade pie crust and put in the apple pie filling that Grandma and Grandpa Church bottled from Aunt Lisa's trees. I was so proud of my little pie. We had tons of pies to eat. One was a German chocolate pie made by Jessie Nelson that Ken got at work. We had our own family Thanksgiving at our house. It was a good day. More Thanksgiving meals will be eaten soon with cousins and grandparents. I love to eat and see family!

 

3,2,1 Blast Off!

 

Good Big Brother

Oaklee has a hard time going to sleep on her own. While Mom took care of Grayson, Ethan let Oaklee lay by him. He's such a good big brother to the little ones. 

 

A Blast from the Past

Look at this picture my mom found of some of my siblings and me in front of our house in Manti. 

Lisa, Craig, Me, Gary

Oaklee thought I was her in the picture . I think we do look alike. So fun! Sadie also thinks I look like her. Whoever they look like, they are adorable. 

 

A Note From Zoie

Zoie wrote me this note today. It made my day. 😊

 

Cuddle Bug

This little boy sure makes me happy. He loves to snuggle and give kisses. I don't think I have had a kid quite as cuddly as he is. I don't mind at all! I wish I could keep him this little and cuddly forever.

 

Accordion

A while back, Grandpa Gallaher bought an accordion from Great Grandma and Grandpa Gallaher's auction. It used to belong to Great Grandma Bobbi Gallaher. I was telling Landon about it. He thought it sounded pretty cool and asked if we could get it out. He had fun playing around with it.

 

Polar Express

Grandma and Grandpa Gallaher planned a trip with the Clark cousins and Great Grandma and Grandpa Gallaher. At the last minute, Great Grandma and Grandpa decided not to go because they were nervous about catching the virus. So, Ethan and Sadie were lucky enough to take their spots and had a great time on vacation! Lucky for them, they were on quarantine so it worked out nicely. They went to Branson, Missouri where they got to ride on the Polar Express and see Santa. They also saw a bluegrass concert, a museum, and got to go swimming and miniature golfing. Don't forget all of the good food they got to eat too! Ethan had his own room and TV, and Sadie got to slumber party it out with cousin Juliana. They both had a fun, memorable time.

Junk Mail

Kendall gave Oaklee some junk mail to open. She took her job very seriously. Who knew opening mail could be so much fun. She sure had a good time.

 

Overalls

Landon and Ethan both wore these overalls when they were this size. It was always too much for me to handle. They were just so cute in them. Grayson is no exception. What an adorable little boy!
