Caroling...

We had our traditional Christmas caroling on the bus.  We missed some but also had Rosie, Caleb, Wade and five of his younger kids for the first time.  It was a lot of fun!

Our first stop at the Sisson's no one came to the door.
Stopped at Johnny & Jenny's
Got to sing to Sharon.
Stopped at June Barlow and Randy & Kiah Bowns





Alex and his family...


Our smallest member...Gracelynn!


I love this picture of Caleb...This was the first time we stopped at the cemetery.  We decorated four mini trees to put by Vaughn/Barbara, Kaylin, Grandpa/Grandma Schulthies and Shelley.  It was pretty special but tender.


Carson Hartley was so cute trying to find his twin sister's grave.  This was really tender as he was picking his favorite Christmas songs to sing to her.












Sam and Benita Barton

Waldo's



Our last stop at Cody & Tamara Cleaver's house some were too tired to get off the bus.  I thought this picture I took was pretty cute!


I must have been pretty hungry because those glazed doughnuts from Walmart tasted pretty good!  It was a fun night.  Earlier in the day Brady went with Tommy and Tara's family to the Boise temple to do baptisms.  We were all so proud of Brady when we found out he baptized Olivia ten times.  Tara said her and Tommy even got teary eyed.  I guess Howie went with him in the font on the first one but then Brady said he did the rest by himself.  Such a special day!

Cassie Vargas...

The four of us left around 2:00 to do a little shopping before we went to the Boise temple for Cassie's first time.  We took a little selfie before entering.

It was pretty special for Cassie to have all her siblings with her.  
We sure could feel Shelley with us!

Rosie, Cassie, Annie, Andrea and I with grandma!


Aaron, Nathan, Matt, Neill, Cassie & Annie
Cassie with her husband Jose Vargas.
I ordered two of these Minnie headbands for Kacie and I to wear at Walt Disney World the end of January...I can't wait!  I sent Kacie a snapchat.

Tara was so nice to bring over pizza and watch Elf with Brady, Dad & Caleb.  She even made Brady the little elf hat and gave him the movie.  She's amazing! "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"

Gnomes and our Christmas Tree & Card...

Mom gave Kacie these gnomes...they look so cute in her house!

This is our Christmas tree this year.  Brady and I are constantly at war as to whether it has white or color lights...haha!  Brady prefers the colored.

Haylie Lighten shared this picture in her last email.  I pretty sure she painted it.  I love it so much I made it my lock screen on my phone.
I wasn't going to do Christmas cards this year but when I was able to get this cute picture of our family I went ahead and order 100 cards.
After work I made these gnomes with mom to deliver to my ministering sisters.  They are so cute!
