Christmas in a Flash

This year we stayed home for Christmas. It was the first time we haven't gone to Utah in 5 years. I loved it! It was nice to celebrate our Christmas on Christmas. We missed not seeing family but it sure was nice to stay home and relax.
Everyone waiting for me to stop taking pictures so they can eat the yummy dinner.

Carter catching up on his beauty sleep, sporting an adorable reindeer outfit from Grandma Nelson.

Here is our Christmas nativity. Adelaide loved being Mary. She kept smiling at Carter while Brandon was reading the story about Mary swaddling baby Jesus. Too cute!

Brandon got into a car accident the end of November and the car was totaled.(wasn't his fault) We had to decide whether or not to replace our honda accord or to upgrade to a truck which we were planning on doing at some point anyway. So Brandon won- he got a 2009 Chevy Silverado. I like the truck but it was an added expense that we didn't have with the other car so my hair dying was one of the things to go. That's why I look like and albino with a wig on! haha - oh well I am already married so why should I care, right?

Adelaide's Dance Recital

Grandpa Fletcher

I am playing catch up. Brandon's Grandpa Fletcher passed away on October 24th. Brandon was really close to him and we will miss him greatly. Brandon took Adelaide and Davis down to the funeral with him. They left a day after he passed away to go be with family in Utah and I had Carter the next day. Why couldn't that baby have waited 8 days?
