Where have we been?!

 O my goodness everyone, we are so far behind on our blog. I guess that's what happens when the holidays come around. This year we had a great time with family and celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and The New year. The hardest part was saying good bye to everyone after Christmas.
It seemed like everyone left. Even Hannah and Nick who have been here since this summer. They had to go back to Idaho for Nick's school.   Uncle Sam was hard to say good bye to as well because he had just got home from his mission just 5 weeks before! But we were so excited to see and meet his girlfriend Rebecca. She is so super sweet, and the girls absolutely love her and her "Rapunzel hair".  Chris, Ginger and the twins were here this year for Christmas, and they are just so much fun to be around. Rae and Bea keep asking when everyone is coming back.
So this post is going to be mainly pictures. We have so many so hopefully everything will load correctly...

As a late birthday present for Bea we went to Disney on Ice! It was awesome! It was Minnie and Mickey travel the world.

The girls started gymnastics, it's at the community rec center and they absolutely love it! It's only for 6 weeks, so we might sign them up again for another 6 weeks.
P.S. sorry the pics are sideways.

Of coarse we still have great fun days at the barn!

November 24th Uncle Sam came home!!

Sam getting released from his Mission.  President and Sister Tolman are the sweetest and greatest!

Sam had a busy day the day he got home. He got released and then his little sister and his girlfriend came home for Thanksgiving break! What a culture shock for an RM!

Writing letters to Santa and eating Thanksgiving dinner.

Hanging out after dinner

the black Friday shopping begins!

Ki has the pictures from my birthday on his phone, but I had two big gifts, one was the cricut cake! I am so excited and cannot wait to use it! The other was my camera, so these are some pictures I took with my new camera, which I named Lumos! heh heh.

Ki got lasik eye surgery! I got to watch the whole thing and it was intense! They cut open the top layer of his eye, which is thinner then a strand of hair, and then laser-ed it and then sealed it back up. He got some bruises on his eyes because he had a hard time holding his eye still.  He has very sensitive eyes, even more so now...

He had to sleep with sheilds on, until his eyes were completely sealed. They are still sensitive and he can't rub them for about a month!

He got a 3D TV for an early Christmas present, so this is him and Hannah watching it.

This was the first half of December, I'll blog a separate  post for Christmas....
