Pre Christmas time

Samantha painted my nails many times, trying different designs. This one is my favorite. 

 We got Emily back from Rexburg and this is our first attempt at Christmas shopping.  Didn't get much done.

Thanksgiving at the Wilsons was nice.  Brad had to stay home because he was sick.  But me and the girls enjoyed ourselves, especially playing with the beautiful little ones.  Ellie Rue and Annie and Hallie

 A glorious seminary morning...freezing but also so tranquil.

 Sweet and simple beauty of the season at the Denver temple. 

 The girls spent one night making gingerbread houses.  Peanuts themed!

 Elf was on in the background... of course.

Fall fun

Sam went shooting with YW and all the leaders came back and said she was the best! It runs in the family!

Carving pumkins...we just have to no matter how old our kids are!!

AHS cheers helped out at the Race for the Cure event this October.

JV Cheer trial run for competition

 Poor girl is wiped out all the time!! Freshman year has turned out to be a very busy one for Sam.

 These sweet girls made up our annual Thanksgiving lunch deliveries to the homeless.  Afterwards we have lunch was at Hamburger Mary's.  I know, it doesn't seem right.

 Competition within our region at Eaglecrest High School.  JV took 2nd!!

Samantha-Homecoming week 2015

Football games, parades and dances filled this week for Homecoming 2015.  We went to the varsity Homecoming game. 

The cheers were in the Homecoming parade

 We had to wait for a long time before the parade started, so the girls found things to do.  Taylor and Janie flipping Sam.

 Sam also had a JV football game that weekend.  She's the flyer on top!

 Bonfire photos before they lit it up! 

 Sam went to the Homecoming dance with cheer friends.  Very last minute!  This is Ainsley and
