Life is an adventure; especially with "you": Thanksgiving and Christmas

The job hunt has proved successful Jon was offered a job with Rehab Medical. We are excited for this position. He has the Northern Utah territory and will start selling medical supplies. This is an answer to our prayers and we are incredibly grateful. This means we are no longer going out for the summer which is very hard to wrap my mind around, but I am so thrilled and excited about this. We are considering putting our house up for sale to down size. That's the jist of things.

Thanksgiving quickly approached us this year. We had the pleasure of hosting Jon's Siblings. Jon's Sister Amber from Washington drove down with her 5 kids, His Brother Steven and wife Marlene flew in from Houston with there 2 year old and one on the way. Also, Tom and Sarah flew in from Minnesota. It was a full house with 10 kids but so much fun to have the cousins get to know each other and to reunite as a family. We took them 4-wheeling up Deep Creek which was I think the favorite activity, rode horses, and the girls even ventured out for an early black friday night. Steven even allowed the girls to give him a pedicure. Nail Polish and All... What a great uncle :)

With Christmas approaching we of course had to take the girls to see the Nutcracker. This year we decided to see Clytie Adams production because the girls are in her Ballet School. We had so much fun with grandma's and Aunt Whitney. It was a very fun night :)

My sweet friend Heidi Emailed me after the Hurricane Sandy that had ruined much of New York and the East Coast. She had a few names of some family's that could use help getting back on there feet because they had been displaced from there homes. I offered to take on two of the families and asked that the Extended wall family to give donations. Great Grandma Wall had a family home evening and everyone brought some things to give to the families it was a great experience and the families were so grateful. I took this picture of the girls playing dressup at Great Grandma's just as I did when I was a little girl with my cousins. :)

We had a wonderful FHE with some friends. We decided to make gingerbread manger scenes. They turned out darling. It was so fun to see the creative juices come flowing.

Late night with Dad. Two peas in a Pod. Love my BOYS!

Makenna and Autumn put the video camera under the couch and in the morning we watched as Santa showed up and saw the camera and turned it off. So Fun to see the light in there eyes.. (Thanks Dad) :)
