Christmas 2013

Solace got a Bass for Christmas 2013. It was interesting getting it from the store in Olympia to our house in Aberdeen. But luckily they gave us an awesome stand for it to live on once it got home! We even got a dash of snow for our first Christmas in Aberdeen Twas the night before Christmas...

Then the morning finally arrived

AND we got to celebrate all over again the next week in Utah with our families on Wesley's week off!

Dec 2013 Armour is sweet

In December 2013 Andrea had a fire in her house that destroyed her kitchen and some other areas. They had to move into a hotel for a few months. One day right after it happened I found this note in Armour's backpack (written to her oldest son)

Solace turned 11

December 8, 2013 This is what 11 looked like on Solace! 

Thanksgiving 2013

The Night before Thanksgiving I burned my chest with yams. Here is my comment from Facebook about this picture: Wait, so you're telling me I'm the only one who flipped hot yams on her chest causing a blistering burn the night before Thanksgiving? Oops...and Ouch. But the food turned out great. Here I am holding my turkey on my new tray. I went crazy on the appetizers! YUM! Below you'll see A few of our Appetizers... Ham roll ups, chips with Franks Red Hot Buffalo chicken dip, crackers with Franks sweet Chili sauce and cream cheese stop, and bacon wrapped little smokes. Franks did send me some free products to review these 2 recipes, but this is a post just telling you what I like and made for our appetizers today.
We even put up our Christmas lights (which someone CUT that night. Jerks)
