Our Christmas season officially starts when we put up our Christmas tree right after American Thanksgiving, even though we don't officially celebrate American Thanksgiving.
All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...
Next, we celebrate Austin's birthday! We went to Tony Roma's to celebrate his birthday dinner. Carly and I had wrapped his birthday presents, and then she put them all in a gift bag to carry into the restaurant. She kept asking if it was time to open presents. So after we placed our orders, it was time. So she handed each gift to Austin and said, "Here is your wallet. Here is your shirt. Here is your tie." We had a good laugh. We love Austin!!
Jill played in her first band concert. ( I didn't even get a picture.)
Hanna sang in her elementary choir concert. It is one of my favorite events of the year.
We went to do our Christmas country visiting teaching, and we had gotten about 6 inches of snow the night before. It was my turn to drive, so I drove my new Yukon. We made it to the first two houses with no problem. We were talking about how nice it was to have 4-wheel drive as we drove to the last house. I wasn't going fast enough to make it up her hill, so I decided to back up and get a run at it. Well, I didn't back up straight and got off the road. To make the story shorter, I ended up with one wheel in the ditch. We were really stuck. So we walked up the hill and did our visit. Right as we were going to head back out to try and get out, the bishop rang the doorbell. He was driving past and came to see if we need help. Thank goodness. So he hooked his truck up to my car and pulled us out. Luckily the story has a happy ending, but I sure felt stupid.
Jill had a basketball tournament in Barnwell. Her team won the tournament. Way to go girls!
Today is my 36th birthday. It is off to a great start. I went running this morning. Then Austin made a delicious breakfast and put up decorations. I already have 30 happy birthday posts on Facebook ( I love that). My visiting teachers came, and I am headed to meet my friends for lunch. Then Jill has a basketball game and we have Austin's junior high dinner party tonight.
This is the stocking I came home from the hospital in on Christmas Eve. 
Merry Christmas in 5 more days!!!

Happy Birthday Kaylynn!! Love hearing about your adventures and too bad there is no picture of the Yukon in the snow!! Now you are truly Canadian,(stuck in snow)!!
Fun to see your Christmas Stocking of a few years ago!!
"Here is your wallet. Here is your shirt. Here is your tie." That cracks me up. What a funny girl.
Backing up into a ditch is totally something I would do. Going visiting teaching while my car was stuck in a ditch is not something I would do. I'm glad your bishop was there to rescue you.
I love your posts! I know, I never say that.
Is Austin getting ready to rope the tree?
So cute, that Carly.
Your birthday breakfast looks perfect!
Your stocking is cute, but I am interested in the santa next to it. Did you make that? That looks almost exactly like ones we had when I was little.
And last but not least, Happy Birthday to you and Austin.
AHHHHH, writing this blog was totally worth skipping out on wrapping presents and cleaning. Your great, and I am glad we got to be with you on your birthday. I love you friend.
Happy Birthday Kaylynn! I was kind of hoping you might post 36 things about yourself . . . ?
I still think about that time you brought me strawberries on my birthday. It was one of the most memorable birthday gifts I've ever received.
Happy Birthday!!! Love to pop in every once in a while and get caught up on life in Canada wtih the Nunn's. Can't believe how grown-up the girls are getting. So happy basketball is going well for them. Miss you and hope you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Happy Birthday! I love the facebook wishes too. I have gotten stuck bad too. It's usually more embarrassing than serious thankfully!
xo
Courtney is the new girl in his life. I think we will be seeing more of her.
Happy birthday! Kinda crazy to be 36 huh! Glad you had a great day.
Will a belated blog comment suffice since I'm not on FB? HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Looks like a fun, festive season at your place. We didn't have a white Christmas - isn't that awesome? I love having the roads clear but don't know how long it will last...
