A different Christmas morning...

This year a few things were missing from our Christmas morning, Joe and our home.  Those are some BIG things missing!   But we made do with what we had and counted our blessings.  

 Emily and her winter coat (to get ready for the freezing temperatures in Rexburg, ID.)

 More stuff to keep Emily warm in Rexburg.  

 Sam has wanted a fish but figured we will start with fake ones first and see how she does.

 Brad and his display of gifts. 

Made trip to visit Papa's grave at Christmas time.  

 

Christmas Eve and Elder Acker Skype time

Our evening revolved around getting through to Joe.  We had some technical problems that turned out to be on his end.  We couldn't hear each other for the first 15 minutes!  Finally we figured it out and had a wonderful, wonderful chat with him.

Once we were done, Brad took him downstairs and passed him around to the family.  It was really sweet. 

His companion jumped in for a few seconds!

Christmas with the Wilsons/Haydens

Our Annual Holiday Cookie Baking Party

 This year we were at Nanny's so it was a little different but still a lot of fun!  We had the Aaron Acker family and The Singer family.

Halloween 2014!

Another Halloween is here and we did it all...carving, trick or treating, Trunk or Treat at the church, and a daycare Halloween party...Brad even got into the spirit and arrived home in his costume.
