One of my favorite things this holiday season has been looking back on last years holiday season. It reminds me of falling in love with Stephen. I love the traditions we unknowingly started last year.. for example going to McCall to find our Christmas tree! We had a blast this year. We decided to stay at the family ranch instead of going up and back home in one day. We woke up early and headed up there and made really good time! We then had breakfast at the Pancake house, which is phenomenal. Then we got our permit and headed up the mountain on smoky boulder road! Last year it seems to me we got lucky or something because I don’t recall searching so hard! We drove and drove and drove up that mountain slowly scanning the open obis looking for that perfect tree! We finally found it…
Now to chop her down!!
Now to chop her down!!
Well done baby!
I sure love this guy. Last year Stephen went with his dad to help him with his tree and brought me back a baby tree for my room. I loved it so much that we decided to do that again, but since my room is bigger this year we got a little bit taller tree! With a kink in it!
I love its imperfection.
And the excitement of this man right here.
Love him. Then we came down the mountain and up the road just a bit to the ranch. It was very nice to curl up with a hot cup of coco and play some chess with my hubbs. He kicked my butt. Always does, but at least I always put up a good fight! One of these days I’ll beat him.. and you better believe I’ll blog all about it! Then we snuggled up on the couch and watched some movies and headed to bed. For some reason I sat wide awake unable to fall asleep because I was thinking of every scary movie that had to do with cabins and mountains and being all alone. It was terrible but my baby helped me out by throwing conversation topics out at me like cotton candy or Christmas day and things like that : ) He’s a sweet husband. The next morning we leisurely headed home and that night we went to the live nativity put on by my parents ward.

It was lots of fun, the kids did a wonderful job. And Stephen got checked out by a sister missionary. After that we headed back to Ma and Pops to make cheeseballs for my work party the next day and ended up devouring an entire ball just my Stephen, my mother and myself. Mmm delicious. All in all, a wonderfully eventful weekend.FLASHBACK.....
Last year when we went to get our tree : )
Last year he wanted to take a kissing picture but he was never able to get a good one so we tried for like ten minutes to get a good one and he got it in one shot this year! I got him to admit that he just wanted to keep kissing me so he was missing on purpose. He's pretty cute. And sneaky!
Clyde a year prior. He's still lookin good for a camel! Haha
I love flashbacks:)
Merry Christmas everyone!
