Christmas was a bit tricky this year because it was on Sunday and we had church at 9:00am. Plus Janie, Reid and I were singing in the choir so we had to be there at 8:15 am. We told the kids in advance that we were going to wait until after church to open presents but that they could open their stockings before church. I know, a lot to ask of little kids on Christmas but it worked out. We got up around 7:00 am opened stocking had a quick breakfast and headed to church. As soon as we got home we got to opening presents. It was a wonderful day and we are so blessed to have the knowledge we do of the Savior. It was wonderful to sing praises to him in church and celebrate the occasion and then be able to enjoy the worldly aspect of it later.
Our family lives in the small town of Victor, Idaho. It sits at the base of the Teton Mtns. My husband, Justin, was raised in this valley and brought me here 10 years ago. Now our children will say they were born and raised in Teton Valley. We were married in December of '98 and moved here soon after. We have four children. Janie is 9, Reid is 7, Jack is 4, and Lucas is 2. We own our own business called JRN Contracting, we are a for hire dump truck operation. Justin also farms. We love the simple life and love living in the country.
