December 2014

December was full of Christmas celebrations and festivities.


























Makayla participates in a local performing arts group called Tavaci. She had her first concert, held at the CSI, the junior college here. It was so fun to watch her sing her little heart out up the stage. She's not shy. ;)







We cannot let December come and go without a giant batch of sugar cookies.

            
The Adams family came over to Twin for some gingerbread house making fun! We also visited the planetarium where they put on a Christmas show. So fun!
     

Christmas Eve was so much fun. It is so neat to see the kids get in the Christmas spirit, and get to excited! We visited a couple local light attractions, had the Adams family traditional meal of turkey croissant sandwiches, and finger foods, and read from the Bible and watched a new Christmas film the Church put out. After the kids went to bed, Andrew and I worked as Santa's elves for HOURS assembling a giant doll house for Makayla. What fun! ;)
         

      
       
Luckily Christmas Eve was so perfect, because Makayla woke up so sick Christmas Day! Poor girl.  She and I both ended up visiting the insta-care over the next few days with Strep Throat. Yuck.

New Year's was so fun, spent with new friends and their kids. We all have littles so the food and fun were done by nine and we were probably in bed by 10! ;)

2013 was a wonderful year. I cannot believe that we have lived in Twin Falls for over a year now. It is really starting to feel like home. We still have  a lot to discover in our small town and the area, but we  have enjoyed our time here and all the wonderful people we have met and created relationships with.
