Well at least I realize what a slacker I have been with this bloggin'!  And maybe, just maybe I'll be better.  Well here's what we have been up to since last time I posted.  Mainly just the Holidays, it's been SO COLD we really haven't done much but stay home! 

Case finished up soccer, he had so much fun, here he is with his medal he's so proud of.  I'm so thankful my children are so healthy and can run and play.  It's so fun to watch them grow and discover things they like.

Then the next fun thing was Deer Camp.  Here we are in our trailer making breakfast one morning.  Kyle and Case live for Deer Camp.  It's a Christensen tradition that we all carry on very well.

We had a fun Halloween Dinner/Pumpkin Carving Contest at Tara's the day before Halloween.  It was so much fun.  She had the spookiest dinner!  And I just noticed that Eva's tongue is sticking out!  :)

Our family's little Pumpkin scene.  Adorable.

I have to say that I think my little Eva was the most adorable Monarch Butterfly that graced the earth!  I adored her costume!  Case was a very handsome Cop and he really handed out some tickets!  With dad's persuasion.

November came and that meant my Elk hunt I've been putting in for for 14 years.  I finally drew this year and it was quite the hunt.  It had it's ups and downs, highs and definitely lows.  I got discouraged, encouraged, and the discouraged again, although I wouldn't change it at all.  It was such an amazing experience to be with my dad and husband the whole time.  I am such a lucky girl to be able to have taken this beautiful animal.  Kyle and I stalked him for 2 1/2 hours, which was awesome.  My dad and Uncle lead us to him from 5 1/2 miles away, we couldn't see him because he was bedded down.  He is the oldest elk my dad has ever taken in and he is simply gorgeous.  His cape is really blonde but has the dark mane.  His neck is so big my dad doesn't have a mannequin big enough!  He doesn't have the most impressive horns but he's mine and I am proud to say it! 

Thanksgiving was great, we had it at Kyle's mom and dad's this year.  It was so much fun, every possible yummy thing you can think of to eat was there.  Here's Eva enjoying her lunch!  I made Dixie Fruit Salad and Rainbow Jell-O, and Spinach/Artichoke Dip.  What a yummy day!

Here we are with our Christmas Tree!  We went to Sunflower Valley (Case's name) with my parents.  It was a very fun day.  This picture does not do this tree justice.  They really grow 10 feet when they are in transit to the house.  This is the biggest tree we have had.  Absolutely gigantic!  Kyle said "Oh, it's not too bad" as he reaches his arm up above his head "just a couple feet taller than me, perfect!"  Oh yeah, perfect!  Good thing it was his idea to cut it down and not mine!  :)

It's tradition with my mom that we all make Gingerbread Houses.  Well this year she found Case and Eva a Gingerbread Train!  It was so cute, and we had fun decorating it.  Don't ask me what Case is doing.

Oh, how sweet!  Here they are Christmas Eve, trying to show Santa that they are good! 

Here we are on Sunday after church in our new Christmas Church clothes.  Had to snap a fast one before the camera went dead.  We had a very great Christmas.  Case and Eva got spoiled of course and I surprised Kyle with a new pair of Square-toe Justins.  They are so great, I love him in them.  He surprised me with a pretty pearl necklace that I love.  We are so thankful for a wonderful Christmas and to be able to spend it with our families.  New Years was spent up at my grandmas house, way too much fun.  Yummy food, awesome company and we didn't get home until 2:00 am we were having so much fun with all the Trumans.  January hasn't been too much fun with it being so cold, Case has had a hard time getting up in the mornings and getting to school but we're working it out and getting back into the swing of things. 

Thanks for all of your friendship and I promise to be better at this!  Oh yeah, Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Brations started on the 25th so if you want a catalog or want more info on that, let me know, it's a really great time to host a workshop or put in an order if you need anything.  Just check out my website!  I'll post again soon!  :)
