We have adjusted to all the cold and snow up here on the mountain. Living on the bench brings more snow than usual. But that hasn't slowed Jake down.
Jake and I made these little baby doll cradles for twin girls in our old ward for Christmas.
We went to an Ugly Sweater Party at the Pratts' and Jake found this at the D.I. to wear. Silly boy.
We had an adventure when we found that we had a bad laundry fixture that had been leaking for a month or more. The sheet rock and insulation had to be replaced. No cost to us but quite the hassle.
Jake, Tiffany, Jaren, Mindy, Jentry, Myrik and I all had a blast one weekend at Myrik's cabin in Bear Lake. We went sledding at the sink holes for the afternoon. 
And finally we DID have a merry Christmas this year. We spent the holiday in Highland at the Nelson's. We had so much fun with his family. When we got home Jake had this last surprise gift on display in the living room for me. I dropped all our stuff and started crying. I saw this exact picture this summer and fell in love. I'd never seen a picture quite like it anywhere. It's the Manti temple, significant because we were married and sealed there. I looked for it or something similar ever since then but failed to find one as beautiful. Jake told me it was too expensive that day but apparently he has a soft spot for me cause he bought it the next day and has been hiding it all this time! It is more sephia colored and has a beautiful antique look to it. The frame is also gorgeous with some scuffs and knots in it to match the rest of our home. I know I say this every post but.... ISN'T HE WONDERFUL!!!
