Merry Christmas

We were blessed this year to spend Christmas with our family. We first spent Christmas with Tracy's family, pix to be posted later on, Then we ventured to Las Vegas to spend time with Tad's family. Not pictured, the Harris family, and the Johanson family. We missed them this year and look forward to next year when we hope everyone can be together again. We hope you had a great holiday with your family, and our prayers continue to be with the Johanson family as they continue to await baby Jacks status.

Bye Bye Nursery

Our little guy said good-bye to nursery today and sat in on Primary for the first time, he is getting so big so fast. Tanner was giving five, to respond to his teacher.
We asked him if he was going to the big boy class today and he said, yep I'm so big now!

A Five T's Tradition

Every year we bake fun goodies and then take them around to friends. This year Tad picked some challenging items, but we got it done. Delivering the treats, the best part.
Watch the ice girls
The finished product 6 days in the making.

A Snow Day for All ******

Torie was out at 8 am ready to sled
Where's Uncle Loren to build us a great jump???????
Acura, what Acura?
We are expecting 8-10 more inches tonight or in the morning, wow!
This is my favorite thing , I love the bald trees covered in snow against the blue sky, what a sight. We are so grateful to get this moisture, we need it**

Let it Snow!!

We have so much snow we parked at the hardware store in town and the family walked home in the snow.
it is currently still snowing...
we could hardly see the house.
The kids had so much fun walking in the dark playing where's the house.
The 330 has been closed since 10 am and is not scheduled to open until at least tuesday afternoon. This was our neighbor trying to get home, without walking, Tad went down to help him and then went to get Brent off  the burm he high centered himself on, all in all a great FHE! I love this weather, just a reminder that it is Christmas season, did I say how much I truly love this time of year and the joy the kids get when they get to mess the fresh snow, sorry Grandma Marshall we know you like it untouched.. I'm grateful we all made it home safely. Happy holidays to you all.

Oh Christmas Tree!!!!
