What I've Been Up To
When I got home from Thanksgiving I decided to get out all of our Christmas decorations. I was a little gung ho because I didn't get to decorate our home at all last year since we were busy moving. I put up the tree, the Christmas village, the nativity, and our stockings. We're ready for Santa to come! I have been wanting to add to my little village, so I went to Roberts to buy another house to paint, but they don't sell them any more apparently. Bummer. I guess I will have to find something else to paint. But the houses I do have look great together!
Take a stroll through the town......
I bought some really fun new ornaments at Taipan Trading over the break with Dusty's mom. I couldn't wait to put up my tree when I got home. I fell in love with the brown ornaments, but wasn't sure how they would look on the tree. Much to my delight they look really good with the gold ornaments I already have. Here is the tree. Thanks, Allie, for the glittering leaves you got us for Christmas. They really put the finishing touches on the tree. Also, if any of you know how small our living room is, you should be impressed that somehow we put this giant tree in and manage to still have room for everything else!
Tyson and his cousin Lily had a good time meeting each other. Tyson is just starting to notice and be interested in other babies and children, so he thought Lily was great. When Grandma Hoopes was holding them on her lap, Lily got a little shy and started to cry. Of course, Tyson decided to join in a few seconds later!
We stayed at Dusty's Grandpa Bowers house over Thanksgiving. He was heading up to Boise for the holidays and wasn't there very long, so we had to make sure we got a snapshot of Tys with his Greatgrandfather. Here is Grandpa holding Tyson before bath time!
Here is Tyson with Grandma Hoopes. These are nice photos of her and him together. He sure does have big cheeks that are just so much fun to kiss.

Gratefulness : First Installment
Since this seems to be the time of year to reflect upon things we are so glad to have in this world, I thought I would start a little list. It's pretty random and full of ordinary things, but I guess I don't have many extra-ordinary things! On second thought, perhaps some of these blessings are pretty amazing. Here's for starters:
Family ~ electricity ~ Tyson's laughter ~ clocks ~ ice cold lemonade ~ The Savior ~ game night ~ daffodils ~ Christmas lights ~ prophets ~ ice cream ~ love ~ lullabies ~ water ~ blankets ~ the beautiful earth ~ photographs ~ good books ~ disposable diapers ~ pianos ~ creative people ~ baby clothes ~ science classes ~ gingerale parties ~ morning sunshine ~ scripture ~ written music ~ comfy furniture ~ garlic bread ~ candles ~ tithing ~ umbrellas ~ colors ~ lip balm
