DECEMBER - What a month!!

Our oldest son, Jared, got married to Tori Blonquist on December 20, 2012.  What a wonderful day and we are so happy to have Tori as part of our family.  

Don't they just look so happy?  Congratulations!!
We got a special treat on their wedding day because Josh got to call home from the MTC to let us know that he had been temporarily reassigned to the San Antonio, TX, mission while he waits for his visa.  Aunt Julie (who lives in San Antonio) was super excited and hopes she runs into him while he's there.  :-)

Aunt Julie and her 3 daughters, Kennedy, Emma and Maile came for the wedding.  It was so fun to have them here.  Cousins are AWESOME!!  Then Micah and the boys, Landon, Easton and Ashton, arrived and they spent a little time with us too.  We sure love the Bahr family!!


Then we got to have Christmas which was so fun.  We missed Jared and Tori who were on their honeymoon in San Francisco and we missed Josh who was in the MTC but we were glad to have Grandma Ginia with us this year. 

 Fun, Fun, Fun!!


A few days after Christmas, on December 28, we celebrated Adam's 8th birthday!  Woohoo.  He got to have breakfast in bed (because that starts on your 8th birthday in our family) and then we invited a bunch of his friends to go to the trampoline place near here.  After loads of fun there, we came back to the house for pizza, ice cream and presents.  What more could a little boy ask for?



Sometime in the month of December we managed to go skiing a few times too!


That finishes up our year and now we are on to 2013!  Wow!  
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

That was quite a busy month!! But it was a month full of joys and memories...for sure. Did it feel weird having the family whittle down to four kids on Christmas Day? I am sure I will feel the same way by next Christmas. Its possible that Seth could leave on his mission by next July!

Thanks for your comment on my blog, Gaylene! I am the same way with yours - I read it regularly and comment rarely. But I love following your family. I have always admired your family since our San Jose days and their closeness. It is fun seeing them growing up - Jared got married, wow! Missions, your family trips, etc. Such a great family and I thank you for your great example! Wish we could enjoy some of that skiing, looks like a great time!! Happy New Year!
