Tis the Season!

What a wonderful Christmas season we have had. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season. As always, as much as we want it to be a calm and quiet season, it never seems to go that way. This month was filled with so many fun activities from ward Christmas party to sledding behind horses on a conveyor belt, Santa coming to visit, Shane's Staff Prime Rib party, spending time with family, spending Christmas Eve at Rob and Rachaels with mom and dad Heuseveldt, going to the free matinee of Horton Hears a Who, cooking, decorating sugar cookies, eating tons of fattening foods, and having a Heuseveldt New Year's Snowmobile party at Rob and Rachael's in their field. Did I mention all the food? I decided to post the season pictures in a slide show because there were so many to share. Although it was a crazy time, we still felt the quiet peace that our Savior brings to each of us. We are thankful to be where we are and to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. May his spirit be with each of us as we begin a new year.

I loved seeing pictures of all of you! I had no idea how much I miss your family until I took the time to watch the slide show. Sad. Oh well! It sounds like you had a great Christmas! Abby watched it with me & got excited whenever she saw Taylor. We'll have to make an effort to see you guys soon! Have a happy January!

Glad I was part of most of those memories! I LOVE having your family in Star Valley! Where did you get the cute blankets with the kids' names on them?

We moved to pocatello so that Preston can go to school we were very said to leave St. Anthony. But things are going well he is doing a tech program at ISU so we will just be here for about 2 years. I was glad to hear from you.
