Is it Christmas YET???










Christmas is fast approaching and we have one excited little girl at our home. She is so excited and asks us several times a day if tomorrow is Christmas. The past few weeks have been very busy for all of us. But we've had a lot of fun too, we were able to take Kodi to ride the Polar Express! We started in Heber city and made it all the way to the North Pole and back in 2 hours, she met santa and told him what she wanted for Christmas.
Devin and McKade hung the Christmas lights, you can tell from one of the pictures I included that at one point, the pitch of the roof was so steep that Devin tied a rope around his waste and gave McKade the other end to hang on to incase Devin lost his footing - the funny thing is, if Devin would have fallen, he'd have pulled McKade down with him.

We had Thanksgiving in Garland with Dev's family where Kodi was bucked off a horse named Cocoa - ok, it was a pony but it was still a far fall to the ground and she did a complete flip in the air! She tells everyone she is a "real cowgirl" now.

We had an early Christmas party with the Stowe brothers and sisters last week,Uncle Rich went to Peru for a couple weeks to work at a hospital in the Amazon and Devin and I are both jealous of the "life experience" he is having - from the pictures it looks amazing!
Devin just finished his last paper for the semester and has one more final to take this next week. Then...we have one more semester till he graduates. (3 classes to be exact!) I am so proud of him and can't wait for him to be finished. We will be having one gianormous party when he's done!
Happy Holidays !!!

Brooklyn has been asking me everyday as well if Santa is coming tomorrow! Christmas is so exciting for little kids. I cant believe Devin is almost done with school! I hope his time in school has gone by fast for you, he really did get through his degree quickly. You will definitely have to throw a big party! I insisted Rich went to his graduation, it was important for me to see him dressed up in the cap and gown. It's good to hear from you! See you soon-Teri

So cute! Sounds like Kodi wasn't to phased about the pony. How cute that she's a real cowgirl! It was nice to see you today!
