Christmas in IDAHO

This year we got to spend Christmas with the WHOLE Anderson Family. It was so fun, crazy, eventful, and memorable all rolled into one. We always love being with family especially for the holidays. Thanks so much Robert and Robyn for letting us invade your home for the Holidays.

The Farm

We made a special trip to Blackfoot to see the cows... funny but the kids Loved it! We were all covered in manure by the end but it sure was fun.

Top of the haystacks.

Kelan obviously wasn't a fan of the the stankiness.

Beckham loved the kitties.

Christmas

Me and Kelan worked together to make an awesome Gingerbread house. He was the BEST helper ever.

Yummy treats... breakfast?

Cheese...

YODA... Kelan is obsessed with Star Wars.

Beckham loved his basketball hoop.

Nativity Scene/Play

Look at all those crazy Kids... SO FUN!

Fun, Fun, Fun...

While we were there we got to see Merilee Graduate (Woo Hoo) and Baby Ledgers Blessing. Congrats Merilee and Ansley. We're so glad we were able to celebrate with you.

Aunt Meme with her Kitty Litter Cake... yummy. Hahaha...

What a CUTE Family... and the sweetest baby ever!

Oh Baby Baby...

With another baby on the way we decided it would be a good idea to try to potty train Beckham before he turned 2. At first I thought I'll try it and then if it doesn't work we'll try again later. I realized that wasn't an option once I started. Mr. Independent is now potty trained. He is a champ and we are so proud of him and relieved. We'll see how it goes once Baby Crew gets here in March.

I love this picture of Beckham. He is putting on Kelan's pants and Spencer's hat... all by himself. He loves his dad and brother and wants to be just like them. He thinks he is just as big as them and has to do EVERYTHING "all by myself"... his favorite thing to say.

Santa's House a.k.a. Bass Pro Shop

Every year we make it over to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa. This is Santa's official home while he is visiting Omaha. This year Kelan brought his list with him to give to Santa. After we were done we went over to Target and Kelan found about 10 more things he really "NEEDED". He was pretty concerned that Santa wouldn't bring the right things. We told him we could mail another list to Santa... hahaha. Beckham wasn't the biggest fan of Santa but he sat on his lap without crying and then quickly grabbed some candy and ran.

Beckham is checking out the other kids from a distance... looking a little nervous.

Practicing his shot.

Racing the cars.

B.F. and G.F.

Thanksgiving in California

We ended up making it home for Thanksgiving thanks to Spence. He was interviewing in San Francisco so we decided to come along and play with Grandma in the city while he interviewed. We had so much fun in San Francisco shopping, eating, and people watching. It was so nice to be able to be home for Thanksgiving too. Kelan and Beckham LOvE their cousins and have so much fun with all the boys.

Oakland Temple

They had all of the Christmas stuff set up while we were there.

Pier 39 checking out the stinky seals. Kelan is sensitive to "nasty smells", those are his words.

So many fun things... San Fran is fun but I don't think I would ever want to live here. Hopefully this isn't where we get in. Knock on wood!

Space Museum for kids.

Beckham and Kelan loved it.

Happy Thanksgiving... my mom made all the kids these cute little headbands. They thought they were pretty cool.

While we were home Meagan took some cute pictures for us. She always does the best job... Thanks Meg!

The only picture Kelan was looking and smiling in. Thank goodness we got one.

... and then there was Beckham. He was cheesing it up and posing and absolutely loving it.

Baby Ledger

We made a trip down to Kansas City to see Cohen's new baby brother. He is one CUTE baby and I don't think they get much better than him. Congrats T.J. and Ansley! Grandma and Grandpa were also in town and that means it was a PArTy!

Baby Ledger

Kelan loved this baby!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Lots of Cars 2 and popcorn.

Uncle T.J. is the best at reading bed time stories!
