Fake Tree

Here is our fake tree upstairs. It's more formal.

A Real Christmas Tree

This year we have two Christmas trees, and I love it! We have had a fake tree every year since we have been married. (Jeremy is allergic) But, I have really missed the smell of a fresh pine tree. So, this year I finally talked him into getting a real tree to put in the basement. It is far enough away from him that it doesn't bother him and I can still come down here during the day and enjoy the fresh scent. Kolby and Mal-Mal had lots of fun picking it out. Kolby said, "I can't believe we got a real tree!" Here's Kolby and Mallorie in front of our real tree.

Klan Philly

Here's Philly and their newest Klan member. I love this picture, and not just because they had an amazing photographer. Trevor is always soooo happy. He smiles so easily for pictures. Phillip hated his face in this, though. But, what can you do? I say two out of three ain't bad.

NC Klan

Here's Taryn and her family. I thought their picture turned out really good, even though she didn't like it. She had an excellent photographer.

Durango Pictures

Here's the ID Klan. I'm not crazy about this one. Mal-Mal kind of has a funny smile. She always tucks her top lip in whenever we tell her to say, "cheese." The rest of us look really cold, so I'm still debating about having this one turned into a Christmas card. I need to hurry and decide, though. I'm running out of time.

Colorado Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Colorado. The cousins had lots of fun and all got along really well. We played lots of Guitar Hero and even had a bon-fire, complete with smores. It was great.

Kolby, Mallorie, and Aubrey

We spent the night in Springville, UT on our way to Cortez. We got to see Jeremy's sister and family since they were in town for Janessa's sister-in-law's reception. We were especially excited to see Aubrey since the last time we saw her was last year at Thanksgiving and for her blessing. Can't believe how much she's grown in a year. Kolby and Mal had lots of fun spending time with their cousin. They really love little kids. They'd make a great big brother and big sister someday. We only wish we could see Jeremy's family more often.
