December, Christmas Eve & Christmas


We have not had our first snow yet here in Flagstaff AZ, its a little disappointing actually! The picture above shows a brief light sprinkle of snow from a couple of weeks ago.  We didn't have a white Christmas.  Things are so dry around here that we really do need some moisture, but so far snow doesn't seem in our near future yet.


Ben thought it would be fun to take a picture of me just out of the shower and with my Christmas Leggings from Lu La Roe.  He thought they were funny looking, but thought I looked cute in them.


This was taken of us before we walked out the door on Christmas Eve to go to his mom's church for their Christmas Eve Service.  I enjoyed going with him.


Every Christmas Eve we all open one present and we all know it will be new jammies!  This year we not only did all plaid pj bottoms but Karlee added Christmas socks this time!  Fun, fun fun!




We all enjoyed Christmas Eve together playing games, laughing and munching on yummy snacks.  It was a fun night!  We stayed up way to late......


Christmas Day was enjoyed!  We opened presents and enjoyed a meal together.  We were all tired from the night before but our family time was well spent and moments to cherish.

Now we await the new year and maybe some snow eventually......

Sara 15 years old

Last Friday, Dec 8th was her birthday.  She is now 15!  My baby is 15!
We all went out to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate.

Karlee came over afterward so that we could decorate our Christmas tree.  The girls will not do it unless its all three of us together.


Friday night was a nice family night spent together.
Saturday was centered around Sara and her friends that she had over to celebrate her birthday.  In between of taking them to Dutch Bros, the movies, I managed to do a few things around the apartment and wrap some gifts.  I took her and her friends to the movies, that was fun.

I think Sara had a great weekend turning 15.
I enjoyed it.
I love the beautiful young woman she is going into, she is so much fun and very thoughtful and loving.
