Tis the Season! Christmas decor

I'm finally getting around to December pictures. Perpetually behind, I am. Anyway, I LOVE December. It's the only redeeming quality of winter, in fact. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire month. We decorated just after Thanksgiving and it was great to have the Christmas spirit in our home through the decor. 










Devin took a selfie on the roof as he was hanging Christmas lights. That's a major no-no. But he survived! :)

Homemade Christmas Pictures 2016

We decided last minute that we wanted to do Christmas cards, so we set up our own homemade prop (totally can't tell right) (that's sarcasm) and took a bunch of pictures of the kids. The group pictures definitely did not turn out well, but the individual ones were cute enough and they landed on our Christmas card.

2016 Clark Early Thanksgiving Weekend


One of my very favorite traditions each year is our early Thanksgiving, the weekend before the actual day, up at the Crapo cabin in the middle of nowhere, Idaho. This year only added to my immense fondness of the event. I love my people and I love the good times that we have! We played games to our heart's content, explored the cool property around us, ate and ate, had our big Thanksgiving meal, played Minute to Win-It and the Newlywed Game (which Devin and I almost won-- lost in the tie breaker round! Darn it!), colored, and watched movies. The kids had a great time with cousins. Jace and the boys were outside nearly the whole time which is awesome-ness. I love that they just go out exploring and have a good time. 

Of course, here's a picture overload to document the weekend:
Carlie and her rrrrrobe were a topic of conversation all weekend long

This game was hilarious! Can't remember what it is called, but the one where you have to figure out what they are saying with the thing in your mouth. So funny!

This is Mishell's legit hair when she woke up one morning! Man, she is rocking it.







The property there has some really cool old barns and houses from when it was first settled way back in who knows when. We went exploring and had a great time.












Minute to Win-It Games







Diet coke chugging contest! Devin won easily. I am not sure whether to be proud or what? Mari Ann barfed. Sue spewed hers. Lynn had it dripping down his front. And Devin was pristine and finished in no time. Haha.


I like this lady. Going at the pie whole. My style.


Those Tetons sure are pretty
 Until next year!! Fun times.
