I did manage to get these two pictures of the kids when we went out to get a Christmas tree. My parents live up the street from a tree farm so mom and I walked down while the kids rode with Papa. It got too dark after I took the one of Aiden so that's all I got of us picking out the perfect tree.

This was too funny. The kids had lots of fun playing in the boxes.

Aiden is so funny to watch play video games. He does this everytime he plays.

Happy New Year

At least we're hoping this year will be happier. Doug's last day with May Trucking was December 23rd. Christmas was nice having him home. He started working for FedEx Ground December 28th. Right now he's still in training, although there's not much training he needs. The guy he's riding around with won't be quitting until the end of this month, something neither Doug or his supervisor new about. We both thought it would be sooner but oh well. Right now Doug's just trying to get a feel for the route. Apparently it's a rather large route and FedEx does things a bit differently. He'll have to go through his truck every morning to memorize and organize all the packages, something he didn't have to do with UPS. The pay isn't the greatest (but more than May) and we don't have benefits but at least he's home every night.

We've rented out our bonus room to a couple in the ward that just got married. We thought long and hard about doing that and had some concerns but so far it's been alright. We've been having fun getting to know them better. With the huge pay cut Doug got we needed to do something and I'm thankful the Lord planted that seed for us.

My camera flash is still broken so I don't have any good pictures to post. Hopefully we can get that issue fixed within the next couple of months.
