1. Thanksgiving happened. It was so nice to go to mom and dad's house and spend some good time there in Inkom. I'm going to miss that place when we move to Oregon, so many memories. Buzz spent some time taking various pictures of different kinds of birds for his ornithology class that he is taking. I'm super surprised that not only does he enjoy the class, but he's a rock-star at naming birds now! We might do a Big Year someday!
2. We took some friends from the ward and went up to Victor for a fun getaway weekend! The townhouse is one of my more favorite places to go and little baby boy just LOVED the carpeted stairs. He spent most of his time sliding down them and laughing. We went snowshoeing up Teton Canyon, ate lots of goodies and played games by the fire. If you haven't played Farkle, I highly recommend it.

3. A freakish cold snap rammed its ugly head into Rexburg and now the city is truly Iceburg. I'm a cheapie and so I have a hard time turning on the heat in the house because I don't want to pay for extra heat. I'm kinda worried about our fish (Timothy and Squish) freezing though. Buzz and I mostly just huddle around the space heater in the living room but we finally decided to turn our bedroom heat all the way up to 50 degrees. Compared to rest of the house, it's nice and toasty! The bathroom is also a nice spot to hide out because it heats up so fast...so needless to say I spend more time brushing my teeth in the morning with the door shut than usual.
4. Buzz and I got our first Christmas tree! Last year we were at mom and dad's for the holidays so we didn't bother with getting one, but we wanted some holiday cheer in our apartment so we caved. We both really wanted to cut one down, but we just couldn't find the right time to do it because I get home so late so we went to Brohlims and bought one. Not nearly as fun, but it's a nice looking tree and makes the freezing house smell good.

| Happy Christmas! |
