With the holidays quickly approaching, we enjoyed attending several Christmas parties.  We cherish our  family time together, and look forward to 2013.  Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year everyone!

Have A Holly, Jolly Christmas

Grandpa & Grandma King visited for a few days in December.  We had a great time visiting with them.  Grandma taught me to make toffee, which all of my friends have enjoyed.  Nathan and Kathy had a special Mother / Son date night.  Maddie was not too happy about this and demanded a date with Dad to get sushi.  This has been scheduled for Friday night and each morning she has reminded me of it, and also insists that Ammon and I are not invited.  I love that she & Nathan have such a special bond.  

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.

A Special Visit

Papa & Grandma Mort visited during the Thanksgiving holiday.  We were able to visit Monterey and San Francisco while they were here.  It was so wonderful to be with family during the holidays!  Thanks for making the long drive here... We miss you already!
