Jazz vs.Cavs

Jace and I drove up to Salt Lake to eat dinner and watch the Jazz vs. Cavs game with some friends! My old college roommate Emily, her husband Ren, Kels and her friend Casey all drove down from Rexburg. It was so GREAT to see them.

So I totally forgot to post this! McRae starting CRAWLING at seven months and one week.

Since then, she can now climb the stairs, give slobbery open mouth kisses, wave and stand alone for about 15 seconds. more pics to come...

Merry Christmas!

We spent Christmas in GEORGIA! Despite not having a "white" Christmas, we enjoyed being in the south with family!

Sunday before Christmas Mom and I shopping! This is one of my favorite pictures of us! One of our Christmas Eve traditions is gingerbread house competition. This year we enjoyed the contest with the Nickel family.

This is the boys. They won.

Here are the girls. Second place....

McRae was LOVING unwrapping presents. However, as most babies do, she was only interested in the paper...
