the last couple of months . . .

I'm yet again behind in my blog. I'm thinking of not doing it anymore. I just don't enjoy doing it anymore and I'm awful at keeping it up to date. I am thinking about doing things a little different as far as a family record for 2014. So, this may be the last post. I love turning our blog into a book though, so I've got to finish off 2013.

Here is October . . .
 Halloween of course! It was great! Hayden was a pumpkin . . . a pretty cute one if I do say so myself!


We went trick or treating and hung out at the ward trunk or treat with our 2 besties  . . .Layla and Kayda.



November . .  .
This was a very hard and sad month for our family. We lost Shane's sister Tiffany to her 2 year battle with cancer in November. While we were glad she was no longer in pain, it was very difficult seeing her in her final days and we are missing her every day. We are grateful for the knowledge we have of eternal families and know we will be with her again some day, but we are missing her until that day comes.

The ornament we made with Tiffany's picture in it.
December . . .
Christmas!!! Christmas was so fun this year! Every time we saw a Santa, Hayden would yell out "Santa, Ho! Ho! Ho!". We spent Christmas at home just the three of us again this year. I told Shane, I love being at home with our little family, but I think next year we need to go be with family! Hayden was so great Christmas morning. He gave us his gift of sleeping in until 8:30!!! Then we spent the rest of the day at home . .  . never got out of our pjs and enjoyed time together!

The Christmas morning daze

The picture we used for our Christmas card this year
Making food for the reindeer with Kayda
Leaving the reindeer their food. They both were yelling, "Come and get it reindeer! Come and eat!" -- too funny!
