So much has happened since our exciting announcement and we're slowly falling behind so I thought I would give a quick update with a lot of pictures to get us caught back up.  We had a surprise 50th birthday party at the Melting Pot for Wendy! It went great, and was delicious!

    Thanks so much to all of Wendy's kids that helped put it together!

Next was our little Thanksgiving outing to Cascade.  We had a great time with all of Stacie's family and a delicious Thanksgiving dinner!

The whole fam!

Next was our quick trip to Idaho City to get our Christmas tree.  We have done it every year since we have been married so it has kind of become a little family tradition.  Last year I fell in a creek up to my thigh so I made extra sure that didn't happen this year.  We went up with Kendra and Barrett and their kids and had a great time and really picked out a winner!

Here is the finished product and it was a good one!

We have also been working on a little remodel in our house.  Stacie is going to start working out of the home starting in January so with a lot of help from her dad we have been changing one of our bedrooms into a salon.  Here  are a few before and after pics.  Once we have the finished product I'll make sure to get a picture up! Also thanks so much to Jim for his help with the plumbing! We couldn't have done it without him.
