Finally Graduated!

Well we went back to South Dakota this past weekend for graduation, it was good to go back to see friends and neighbors besides the very cold -42 degree weather. It was fun to see the old stomping grounds. My sister and her husband came with us which was fun to show them around and eat at some of our favorite spot's; Hu Hot, Jones, and we went to Old Chicago in Omaha and then to Ted and Wally's for some great home made ice cream (Thanks Bryce and Brittany for introducing us to the place). So needless to say we ate extremely well, got to visit with friends and had a great time. We left the kid's in Utah and spent a couple of extra day's in Las Vegas to celebrate Nicole's birthday. We accepted a job here in Cedar City, so Nicole is extremly excited that we get to stay and don't have to move.

Winterfest & Gingerbread House's

Hallie's preschool had a program a couple of weeks ago in which they sang some song's and other things. She loved singing the song's and dancing, especially doing the chicken dance. We made some gingerbread houses as well together as a family, Sadie and Hallie loved making the house's, but loved eating the candy off of the house's more.

The Holms get festive!

I figured it was time for a new, festive look for the old blog. We've also been getting festive around the house. The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went and cut our Christmas tree with my family. It was a lot of fun. There was even some snow on the mountain and the kids had a lot of fun playing in it. Since we have vaulted ceilings we went all out and got about a 9 or 10 foot tree. It's so fun to have a super big tree. I love it. Hallie got to put the star on. It was a fun family day, cutting and decorating the tree. It's so fun to do the things with our kids that I remember doing when I was a young. Jake especially loved the part when he had to haul to tree a quarter mile or so all up hill in the snow. :) I think it's safe to say that, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"

Mystery Girl

Hallie got all decked out today and said,"I'm the Mystery Girl, and I have a mystery to solve." I love her imaginative mind and seeing the things that she comes up with. She can make her own fun out of just about anything.
