Holidays continued

We flew to Oregon for a delightful Christmas break. Rosie traveled well and loved the excitement of a busy extended family and being with people all day. All 7 siblings in my family and our spouses and kids were able to be together this year, which is wonderful. We played games, cooked for each other, told the story of Jesus' birth, sang, talked, relaxed, and played with the nieces and nephews! Some sicknesses went around, but we enjoyed the time together very much. A glimpse of our Christmas morning:

I am still growing. Here's 24 weeks:

This tag was a gift from Nathan. It says "Future Missionary." :)

The rare occasions of being all together call for family photos! These show the pretty green and wet of a mild Portland winter. I love these funny people!

I feel very blessed to have been able to spend the holidays with Aaron and our families in Wyoming for Thanksgiving and Oregon for Christmas. It was nice to focus a little more on the Savior in celebrating his coming to the earth. I am excited for a new year and new goals. I'm thankful that my pregnancy is going well, that our new ward is good, and that we always have new opportunities. Life is lovely.
