Thanksgiving/Christmas 2011

So November was a pretty eventful month. For one my awesome sister-in-law decided to go on a mission and was called to the Calgary, Canada for 18 months!  Crazy exciting.  So about a week before thanksgiving we drove out and said our goodbyes as she left to enter the MTC.  Poor Jayden was so torn up about it and still asks frequently for aunt kayla and for horse rides :).  I'm kicking myself for not getting any pictures, but it was awesome and overwhelming to see hundreds of elders and sisters entering the MTC  so earger to learn to help spread the word of the Gospel to people all over the world.  I know our little family is so greatful and proud of our sister kayla batty!

Well Christmas this year was a lot funner than last year for sure. Jayden was way more into this year and for weeks after kept asking if santa was coming back. I think he enjoyed it!  I'm rather bummed and the fact that i didn't taken hardly any pictures. We were all just so caught up in enjoying jayden's excitement it just didn't happen. He was rather spoiled this year and he got a paintball gun which he absolutely loved and loves to shoot it even more. Korwin more or less just stared at us and the christmas lights.  Next year will be way funner for the both of them!

We of course were spoiled by all of our familys and we got a chance to talk to sister batty that afternoon.  It was neat to hear how much she already loved the people and her companion.  Couldn't be prouder.
