I have been so bad at taking pictures lately. I don't know what my deal is! But I am going to make sure we get lots of fun video and pictures over Christmas this week. I am so excited to see lots of family and to party! I love Christmas time! Brody doesn't have to go back to work after tonight until January 5th! I hope that you all have a relaxing and safe holiday with family and friends. I am anxious to see how bad this storm on Christmas Day will be. Brody and I are going to be traveling to Kaysville (of course) so hopefully we don't have to spend half the day in traffic on slick roads. It is also my wish that everyone feels the true meaning of Christmas as we celebrate the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. It is amazing to see all the good around during this time! Merry Christmas to you and drive SAFELY out there!!!
Love, Ash

My Friend Don
Can't sleep. All I can think about is a friend of mine who passed away today (Tuesday). I used to work with him but he was more than a project manager at the company I worked for, he was a friend and one who I looked up to often.
This is just a fun picture I look at from time to time to remember some of the awesome experiences I had with my "Team Wadman". I am so proud I was able to be apart of something so BIG and so GOOD! Don White is in the front row on the left (only picture I had of him). What a strong and dedicated man! He's just one of those teddy bears that give great hugs and always make you smile! This picture was during a Leadership Breakthrough training course with Rapport where I can remember specific moments when Don lifted me (spiritually and literally) and taught me. He will be missed.
I wish it did not have to be so sad to loose loved ones. I know it is not the end though. I am so thankful to KNOW I will be with my family forever. I love my daughter and my husband so very very much. I know that my Savior died for me and that he was resurrected so that we can all have eternal life. What a blessing it is to have a knowledge of the truth and be a member of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Family Tradition
Every year since Brody and I have been married we have been cutting down our own Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. Nope, no "Black Friday" for us! Last year was a little hard since Taylor was just 6 weeks old and we had to bundle her up in the BabyBjorn. This year though, we still had to pack her, but she was much more... Alert! She loved being in the back pack going hiking.
And she got a kick out of ginger running all around us!
We decided to go up Preston, ID way instead of the Uintahs where we have always gone in the past. Got a tad lost in farm lands where dogs were chasing the truck and biting the tires. There really weren't many signs and we had never been up Mink Creek but oh well, we found what we were looking for anyway.
There really is some fun to be had up in the mountains, walking/hiking in the snow searching for the perfect tree- just don't count on many more branches than Charlie Brown's tree- and then having a little hot soup out of a thermos! It was lots of fun! Ginger always makes it more fun too- she loves to pounce through the snow!
That night I of course had to start the Christmas decorations that always take me the rest of the weekend to finish. But it's all worth it, right!!! The only thing I dread are the lights on the tree.
I love my village. Thank you Jo for helping me get it going over the last few years. I decided it would be easier not to put in under the Christmas tree this year. Taylor can reach the furniture it is on but she is doing pretty well with the self control. I am sure she will start to test my strictness though.
Brody did a great job on the outside lights. He scared me to death up on the roof! I wouldn't leave the ground beneath him- I told him I'd catch him!
K so I have to post this picture too. I am so mad- this is the only picture of Thanksgiving day we got. This is the first picture we have ever gotten with all the girl grandchildren on my mom's side.
Taylor- "um, get off me", Ellie- BORED, Carly- "I'm a Princess", Kayla- ya, a bit mad
