Love Christmas Time!!!

Merry Christmas to all!!! We had a wonderful Christmas Eve, pretty low key! We made to our annual Christmas Eve service. We didn't get home until about 8pm. But then our annual homemade pizza dinner was on!
Family pictures before the pizza making!!!The one gift that gets opened on Christmas Eve in our house, is the pj's! Gotta love 'em!

Colt and his pj's, notice that he can't just smile! He always has to be silly!

Brady and his killer smile!

Bjorn also, always has an awesome smile!

COLT!!!

Daddy did the photography tonight and did a great job!

Decorating our Trees!

We have chopped two trees the last couple of years, because I have been collecting pretty ornaments at after Christmas sales. I have always wanted more of a theme tree. So I now have enough 'pretties' to decorate the big tree! Brady loving the photo opp!!!

The boys love to decorate the tree and here is Eli doing his part!


Bjorn and Colt in the background, I totally thought I had a pic of Colt! I didn't get one!


The boys and their finished product and I really didn't have to move very many ornaments at all!!! They are growing up! :-(


The living room tree! I tried to add ribbon this year, but really struggled with that one! So this is what I finished with. I will probably change it next year :-)

Tree Time!

Our annual jaunt in the woods to get our trees! I would have to say that this is one of my favorite traditions! We have a spot that we really like to go and find really pretty trees each year! This year we took my parents along on a very cold day, but managed to still have a good time.
Eli sitting and waiting for daddy to come back up the hill with our second tree!

This looks like a good one! I must say that they look a lot more full all covered in snow! :-)

Eric (he loves me for this pic:-)) and dad trying to make our car look as Montana as they can!!!


Dad, mom, the boys and I!

The Thorness clan! Eric loves wearing my hat, crazy guy!

Thanksgiving with the Idyle's!

In between moving, we were able to head over to Bismarck, ND, to spend Thanksgiving at the Idyle's. It was a whirlwind trip, but we were so glad to be able to spend a couple days with them.
At the Idyle house, the girls sit around and drink coffee and do manicures while Uncle Shane makes the whole Thanksgiving meal! Love that tradition! Here are Haley, Shelli and I doing our nails!

Okay so it looks like it was warm, but that wasn't exactly the case. The kids just wanted to sit outside in t-shirts in Nov. in ND! (really it wasn't typical cold)

The men dishing up the delicious feast that was prepared by Uncle Shane!

Uncle Shane teaching Eli how to play the electric guitar! Thank you so much Idyle's, we love you!
