Playing in the Snow

This past week it snowed quite a bit so Tean was excited to build a snowman.

We got all bundled up, but when we got out there we realized that the snow wasn't very good snowman building snow, but

Tean still had a fun time playing with his truck in the snow.

Tean even ran after me with snowballs.

He liked learning how to make snow angels too. Tean's excited for it to snow again so he can go out and play in the snow some more!

Making Gingerbread (graham cracker) Houses

This year we made gingerbread (graham cracker) houses again. Tean and N (our foster daughter) loved it. I think they liked eating the candy the best! Tean loved helping daddy put up the graham cracker parts and put candy on. Now after every meal he thinks he needs to take a piece off! We had a fun time!

Playing in the Leaves With Grandpa

Tean had a fun time helping Grandpa rake up the leaves while we were visiting in November.

As you can see, Tean was a lot of help too!

A New Member

These past few months we had been going to classes to get approved to do foster care, and last month we got licensed. On the 29th of November we got a call and got our first placement. We got a 2 year old girl (2 months younger than Tean). It has been so fun having her here with us. Tean loves having her here too. They fight, but they also play really well with each other. Just yesterday we got called that they had found an aunt or uncle in her family got licensed for foster care so she was going to be going to them that day. So we had about 20 minutes notice to say good bye and send her off. We are really sad to see her leave, but we enjoyed to time that she was with us.

Santa and Christmas Party

Last week we went to Jake's parents ward Christmas party. Tean had a fun time sitting on Santa's lap. We prepped Tean on what he should say to Santa, so we got him to say that he wanted a bike for Christmas. When it was his turn, he walked right up to Santa, but he didn't want to say anything.

He was glad to get candy from Santa. Jake's brother was in the Christmas program that they did.

He was a wise man and did a great job!

Kitchen Curtains

Last month my parents came up to visit. While here, by mom helped me make some new curtains for my kitchen. I wish I could find a picture of my old curtains that were here since we moved in 5 years ago. They were red and white and had chickens on them. I so love my new ones.
