December back in Texas at Austin & LIz's Home!

 It was so nice finally coming back home to Texas, after being gone 4 months during our move transition....we are so grateful for Jonathan's parents in being so kind and accommodating to help us for a few months, and for Austin and Elizabeth for hosting us another couple weeks before we could close on our new house and move in!  We are so thankful for their helpfulness and opening their homes for us while we were in the transition time between houses.

We had lots of dental work to catch up on once we got home! Katelyn finally had her spacer removed that was holding the spot for her permanent tooth after the first tooth was pulled from having an infection underneath.


We went to view our local church organized Live Nativity the first weekend in December.  It was a wonderful reminder of the true reason for the season and helped us reflect on the heaven-sent blessing of our Savior and set the tone for this Christmas season!
 
We also took a drive to the Deer Ridge Neighborhood, where they have hundreds of lights and contests for Christmas Lights each year. 
 
We played with play-doh and shopped for the Heath Family white elephant gift night tradition, shopped for some families in need, and went to Colton Heath's temple wedding.
 
 
Me 4 months pregnant! We love to see the temple!
 

 Colton & Naomi Heath's Wedding Reception

Family Home Evening Night remembering the way Jesus Christ served those around Him and decorating Christmas cookies together! On another FHE night, we delivered and sang Christmas carols to families in our neighborhood.  Love Christmas traditions!
