This actually happened a few days before Christmas. Our friends invited us over to make Gingerbread houses. Nathan was taking it very seriously… Beckham was his buddy. Nathan was setting up the house and Beckham got to decorate it.

Madeline was soooooo anxious to hold baby Chase. This is their 4th boy! And Nikki’s house is always spotless, she’s always put together, and she is never stressed out. She’s wonderwoman.
Christmas Eve morning, we made a quick stop at the Swenson’s with some doughnuts. I just love these two girls.
Later on that day, we decided to drive into the city and check out the Piers. We wanted to get Madeline an ornament at a little shop they have there. It was cold and windy in the beginning, but the sun came out as we were leaving. It was a fun little adventure.
A few days after Chritmas, we walked down Thompson Avenue in Alameda with all of Nathan’s family, Aunt Debbie and Cameron.
This is a scarf that an elderly lady in our ward made for us. Madeline was being so cute and funny wearing it.
