It’s been way too long since we had a trip to Idaho. We had the best week, but busy every minute. My grandma gave us each an ornament every Christmas now she gives them to my kids and my they love it so much! Before we left we asked grandpa to give the kids each a blessing. I’m so grateful for his love for my kids and the words of wisdom he has. My mom made countdown candy wreaths with the kids. The kids loved it and surprising we didn’t have missing candy by the end hahaha. On our last day my dad, navy, Noah and I set up the Christmas tree for my grandma. We are so blessed with amazing grandparents and aunts and uncles who care so much about my family and kids.
This week we got to go to the temple with Benjamin and Emma to do baptisms together. I love being there with my grandma and mom and dad, my sister, Jake and my kids. Grateful for forever families. The next day we woke up bright and early to go as adults. Another completely beautiful morning we walked out just before the sun rose. I’m so grateful to be able to be with my mom, madi, my aunt Janelle, my dad, Vernon, both of my grandmas and my love!
Jake and my dad went on early morning walks every morning and saw lots of deer. Just the sights from my home town are absolutely beautiful. There is nothing like it. The kids had so much fun playing and helping.
We plated lots of monopoly and games which is always one of the best parts of being together. We got to go to Hagerman and spend the day with grandma Schraft playing games and watching movies. I’m so grateful for our trips and the memories we get to make there. My kids all know and love their great grandparents with their whole hearts and our loved even more in return by these wonderful people!!!! They each of their own relationships with them and it’s the best sight to see.

November is birthday month! We celebrated my dad, Kylee, Jordan, Madi, and Oakley all the week we were there. Makes for lots of yummy treats and busy days! For Jordan we went to skate land. The kids had so much fun skating with friends and cousins we don’t get to see very often! Then pizza pie cafe and cupcakes for our sweet Oakley. Emma loves her and I’m pretty sure it’s returned! Emma was the best help and took care of and played with all the little girls and they all just love Emma.
We got to see my friends brand new little baby and give her love right on our way out of town. Madi, Charlotte, Emma, mom and I got in some Black Friday shopping! So fun being able to bring Emma in on the fun!
On the day we left we woke up to it snowing outside. The kids were so excited and helped shovel the driveway and walks. It was the perfect end to our trip that we got some snow! We are completely spoiled with the love of our Idaho family. Thank you to all it made our trip!
