catch up

soo my last Post was on the pig.. he is doing great. we took him 4 days after his little accident to the vet and he is ok.. hes back to eating and drinking and squealing.. we love him soo much.. its amazing what the power of prayer will do.... on to the next...the kids are out of school for 3 weeks. they are on their 2nd week. we have been keeping very busy. i made a homemade advent calender for the kids, they are having fun with that

weve made homemade jams for our family members ,and tree ornaments., they are having alot of fun awell as i. we went and saw my grandparents last week up in Prescott. it snowed while we were there and the kids had a blast. we also went to buckys casino while we were there, they have a huge gingerbread house display, the kids really enjoyed that. we had a really nice Christmas party for our office on friday night at Trent and Lucy's home, it was super fun. s

Saturday gg had a family Christmas party where she had things to make gingerbread house, a pinata and lots of yummy treats.and santa came on a quad!!!!!



we also found out that we will be having a new niece or nephew(cousin) joining the Morris side of the family come august. Christi my sil went to have some tests done for a job she is taking and thy ad to take a pregnancy test before they could do a tb test and they found out they were pregnant!!1 surprise surprise!! my brothers girlfriend Noelle witch we love to death is also pregnant and due in june, we are just ecstatic about that aswell. we have really been trying to teach the kids about the true meaning of christmas so weve been doing alot of giving things. there is a story in the ensign this month about a family who was homeless and how one family got together with the church and community to really help this family out, they were living on side of a river at Christmas time. we read this story to our kids and i really think it touched their hearts, they have really been trying to reach out and do nice things for people. that night after the story we made cookies for our new neighborhood. the kids really enjoyed helping make them and then passing them out. to see the joy on their faces as well as the peoples faces we were giving them too was priceless.also they received some money from their great grandma and we decided to take the 10 dollars each and do a secret santa between the 4 of them. they had so much fun picking out the gifts and cant wait to find out who had who. Weve also hit up the temples lights couple times. we met up with our friends nate and anissa and the kiddos and had fun!! i love going to the lights!! we also went this last sunday night on our way home from gmas house. we decided to watch the little movie they have playing and maliah just loved it. the sister missionary asked maliah what her favorite part was and maliah said " when mary had baby jesus she continued to say" I LOVE BABY JESUS"!!! Maliah is a true spirit of god and loved her jesus and heavenly father.this is our tree, sorry its blurry but its from one of the kids taking it!! hope all have a great and happy christmas!!!

It looks like you had a fun filled three weeks with the kids.

I liked your advent calendar idea!

I still need to get brave enough to try to make jam but it really does make me nervous!
