Lots of bundling up! We went to the Live Nativity at my Mom's ward again this year.
My Mom, Tom, and my sisters, Caroline (in the homeless hat), and Hannah (with the goofy expression)
Max hitting the ceremonial and annual Christmas pinata at the Hollberg party.
Hudson giving it a good whack!
We got SO much snow at our house!
I forgot the red balls that go on my tree, so I had to update that for posterity's sake.
Went to see the lights at the Zoo -
Max and Isabelle are such great cousins!
A huge turkey that may have been pissed that someone threw a snowball at it to wake it up. Don't worry - I would NEVER do something like that!
RJ, Rusti, and Oliver
Hannah and Max
Gerritt and my brother, Hamilton
Carrie and Hudson on the carousel
Christmas Day - lots of present opening, family, and FUN!
Hudson LOVES his talking puppy!
Max and Mommy on Christmas morning
Hudson and Mommy -
All in all, it was a fantastic holiday season!
We also had a super fun New Years Eve at my Mom's house and Rusti and I bought those "poppers" that make streamers and confetti shoot everywhere. We did a countdown and shot about 10 of those things all over my Mom's living room, and while it was a HUGE mess, it was sooo magical and the kids just loved it! We might have to make that a family tradition! Even the cleanup was fun!

Gerritt and I received callings in our new ward, and while Gerritt totally scored with being the new coach of the YM's basketball team, I was utterly shocked and blown away with my calling - 1st Counselor in the Relief Society Presidency!! Talk about scary! So, I'm a tad busier these days, but it's all good. I feel incredibly blessed!

I took a little blogging-timeout there, but I should be back to norm now!

It's fun to see all those pics of you and your fam. Everyone looks good! I can't believe how old your sisters are getting!
I was wondering when you would post again! :) Looks like you had an amazing December!
On a side note... you are beautiful and I love your hair... I wish mine could look that good.
It was good to talk to you the other day!
that RS presidency is lucky to have you! you'll be great!
and can you pah-leeze stop looking so gorgeous in every single picture!? jeeze. some people...
love you!
Wow, what a great calling. When was the last time you were able to attend RS. As long as I've known you, you've been in primary.
we went to the live nativity too! too bad i didn't see you there.
so what's up with you looking like a model on christmas morning? how does this happen? i don't even dare post pictures of myself from christmas!
cute pics! Congrats on your new calling, you'll do great at it!
yeah....... That first picture of me is real hot. REAL hot. I have Isabelle eyes! Too bad that I took a real scolding from mom after that.
Oh yeah you forgot to mention that after you THREW THE SNOWBALL at the turkey it almost like, charged, dad. That gave me flashbacks of him trying to harness an ostritch around the NECK at ThanksGiving Point with my jacket.
what good times *sigh* now we have to wait a whole year till we get that again, except the part about perfectly curled hair ;)
I think of you often. I've been wondering how you are settling into your new casa.
Looks like you had fabulous holiday festivities.
Congrats on your new calling. You will be amazing.
Congrats on the new house!! Looks like you guys had a great holiday season and the boys are so, so cute and getting SO big!! We'll have to all get together sometime!!
Your boys are growing up so fast! I can't believe the difference from now and when we moved!
So hows the new calling treating ya? Did you get fired, yet?
And beautiful pics on Christmas morning. WTH? Thats just wrong. My Christmas morning pictures are EXACTLY the same. I look like a model. Thats why I posted them all over my blog. Cause I only post attractive pics of myself. Cause that would be weird and stupid to post ugly pics of oneself on ones own blog...
PS I'm waiting for my voice animation dude to send me another email... :)
I can't believe how big Hudson is.. I swear you just had him.
You look gorgeous in all the pics, love your hair on Christmas.
I can't believe how much your sisters look like you! What a fun family!
HOLY FREAKING COW! I KNOW YOUR MOM! is that virginia the very same decorator extraordinaire VIRGINIA? She did some work for me like, 6 yrs. ago. don't know if she'd remember me but OH HOW I LOVED HER! she was the most interesting person. had some interesting conversations. I even bought a plant she had in her house and picked it up from Tom NICEST PEOPLE!!!
if that is not the same person kindly disregard this message:)
what great pics! My oh my, you are so photogenic! :)
It looks like you guys had an awesome christmas! And thanks for the congrats about the temple we went exactly a year after we got married and koda was born 9 days later so it worked out well! You have the most beautiful family by the way, your pictures are all amazing!
Holy Mackerel, you are one busy woman! I cannot get over how stinkin cute your family is. And look at you all cute on Christmas morning--I'm just a teeny jealous. :) Me? not so cute.
It looks like you had a fabulous Holiday season...I am so glad to see you posting again!! Hooray!
I hsve to side with popular opinion here and say that your look too good in your Christmas morning pictures. You're supposed to look like crap! Geez! ;)
You have been BUSY!!
And you have a gorgeous family :)
Item worth mentioning...you have a beautiful family.
I heard about that live nativity, and really want to go next year.
OCDness can rub off. We just need to hang out.
