Christmas, Karalee Wedding, New Year's

Such fun end-of-year festivities!

Christmas morning! Santa brought us sleds

Truman loooved his construction toy from Willises!

And Billy looooved his BB gun!

We went for some Christmas snowshoeing

haha Poor Truman

And did some turkey target shooting practice

Also some ice fishing at M&Ds, so fun!!

After a couple days of break, we traveled to far off Vernal for Karalee's wedding. My own soul friend!! How dear to be there when she got married. It was so lovely and quaint and fun and endearing and soul-warming and ebullient!!

She seems like she got a good 'ol humble guy and she also was the smiliest, most beautiful bride, as I always knew she would be!

Truman was sick, sick sick all day so he was not really enjoying himself that much, but he was a trooper. 

Slaughs!

 Buggin friends forever!

Between the wedding and the reception we drove to check out Dinosaur National Monument, and it was sweet and worth it! 

They have a literal whole wall, the real original rock FULL of real, original dinosaur bones! Like still in the actual earth where they were actually fossilized all these years!! It was one of the cooler museum exhibits I have ever seen in my life. 

Fun trip! And I just realized I didn't actually upload any pictures of it (probably cus I didn't take any), but we spent New Years weekend with Cynthia in Melo in St. George and had so much fun! Cynthia's condo is the most relaxing, cozy little place and we had a great time just relaxing and eating ice cream:) Happy 2016! The new year is looking quite great!

Pre-Christmas December

What a fun and cold month December is! Especially because Billy does not work and we live in the mountains. We have had some good times. 

We are doing our best to get Truman to like the snow. 

We went to the Festival of Trees because some peeps made a model of Grandma Newbold's  childhood home. I'm not sure what was with the weird elf photobomb, but the house was cute and cool and the whole festival was crazy! I had no idea it was such a big deal. 

Snow suit or space suit?

Decorating for Christmas was fun!

We went to see Jim Gaffigan! He was so funny. I was amazed that he literally made an entire arena of people laugh for an hour and a half straight. I could never do that. 

Truman passport photo haha! No neck for this international traveler!

Gingerbread houses with the Hiatts

Truman really does like walking with me haha 

Christmas house!

After I took Truman off from one of our hikes he was just a stoic, paralyzed little guy

Billy got his rifle! He is excited! I've never heard so much hunting chatter in my life.

Matching mountain boys

Christmas Eve hike up the canyon, it was beautiful and snowy!

Fun month! More winter adventures ahead! And railing project recap below!

Railing!

We finally did the railing! Meaning, Billy finally did the railing. And he rocked it. 

Just tore it right out

Then built a closet

Then put up the railing! Truman loves it. I do too. 

Then he built a cool door on the closet. 

I love the railing, I love that it is safe for Truman! I love how beautiful it is. Billy is the master worker and can work so fast. Our house was a construction zone for a while but it was fun! And now I have a sweet closet. Good work, Billy!
