December

December was a good month.  Brian got a one-month break from being really busy.  We were blessed to be able to attend Brian's grandfather's funeral in Utah.  It was a beautiful service.  A few weeks later, Brian's brother Brent came home from his mission in Cambodia. 
Here's the anxious family waiting at LAX.

The first hug always goes to Mom.

Four brothers (and Madison) happy to be together again.

Madison wasn't sure about this new stranger at first.

But she warmed up.

Madison loves music.  She loves playing the piano.  She dances whenever music comes on (I'm still trying to get a video).

We went to Utah for Christmas break.  I apparently didn't take any pictures while we were with my family.  Someone else was taking enough pictures for me.  We had a wonderful time.  After Christmas we headed down to Brian's family's cabin for a few days.  It was bitter cold and snowy, so we had a great time. :)  We dug out an old snowsuit for Madison.  Isn't she cute!

We also pulled out this old sled of Brian's.  Madison loved being pulled around on the sled.

We also had fun snowmobiling. 

Madison loved playing at the cabin.  She was constantly trying to climb these stairs.  Luckily Daddy was there to keep her safe.

We had a great holiday.  We loved spending time with our families.  We are so blessed!
