Highlights from December:
Matt and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. It's gone by so fast, but sometimes slow, too! I am grateful for a wonderful husband that I get to be with for eternity and all the good times and hard times that we have shared with each other. Can't believe we are in the double-digits!
Matt graduated from BYU-Idaho! He earned his Bachelor's Degree in Applied Management. It took him about 3 years to complete his remaining two years of credits, but he did it all while working full time and being a father and husband and handyman, too! He is absolutely amazing and I am so proud of him!
We celebrated Christmas. The kids figured out (and we verified) the non-existence of Santa Claus this year. There weren't any tears or surprised looks. I think they have suspected for a little while. We will keep it up a few more years for Lydia's benefit (if they can). The kids were happy with their gifts and we enjoyed a relaxing day at home. The only problem was that Caleb's Monster Jam truck didn't work. He had only been wanting this toy for a few months, so that was disappointing, but he was understanding about it and the day after Christmas we replaced it with a Monster truck that was even better! It's been weird to not be with everyone for the holidays, but we have made it through!
That's about all! Here are a few pictures of our month!
