Store #5

Yesterday we opened our fifth store! Preston and his partners have been working very hard to get the store opened by the end of the year and they barely made it happen. It is located in Meridian, which is on the west edge of Boise. As long as this store opens well, we will soon begin plans for the next store. I am so proud of my amazing husband. Each day is like a new challenge for him, he is constantly trying to increase his knowledge in the business world and use that to better his business. He strives to inspire his employees and accomplish new goals daily. I love watching him work and hearing about how his days go because I can tell how much he enjoys what he does. Thanks also to everyone who has been supporting us along the way, we attribute much of our success to you guys!

Christmas

We were able to go home for Christmas this year and had such a good time. It was so good to be able to see all the family! Here are a bunch of random pics of our Christmas this year. Thanks to all our family who made our trip great!

Stockings

Last year I made Christmas stockings for Preston, Gizmo and I and barely finished them before Christmas. So this year I had another stocking to make since Lorelai joined our family and I once again finished just a few days before Christmas. These stockings better last for years because they take forever to make. Anyway, here are the finished products!

Family!

I have been meaning to do this post since we got back from Az. I wanted to post pics of some of the family Lorelai met while we were visiting. Unfortunately, there's lots of family she met that I didn't get pics of. So watch out everyone because when we come for Christmas I will be after you with the camera!

Killion, Lorelai, Grandpa Dixon, Brodock, Deacon, Grandma Dixon, Brayton

Getting cuter everyday!

Nothing but smiles! This isn't a great pic, but it is the only one i have been able to get of her smiling. She smiles all the time, but I never have the camera ready.

She loves being held like this, especially when she gets fussy.

She fell asleep like this, if you can't tell her bum is sticking out and her face is smashed into the blanket. It doesn't look comfortable, but it was the only position she was happy with.

Yay for Snow!

We had our first snow a couple weeks ago, but this is the first one that totally covered everything. We love the snow! I took this picture in the morning and by the afternoon almost all of the snow was gone. It comes and goes quick, which is good because then we don't get sick of it! Gizmo especially loves to play in the snow and we can't wait until next year when we can introduce Lorelai to the snow! What a beautiful time of year it is!
