Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

What do we love about Christmas;
Does our delight reside in things?
Or are the feelings in our hearts
The real gift that Christmas brings.

It's seeing those we love,
And sending Christmas cards, too,
Appreciating people who bring us joy
Special people just like you.

Thank you to all our friends and family for keeping in touch with us through this blog. Hope this holiday season is bright and merry for all of you.
Love, Bradburys

Home Sweet Home

Since a lot of you have not made it to our house with a vesit yet, I thought I better post some pix of it. That and my mom has been bugging me. Anyway we have about 10 acres around the house most of which are up the mountain behind it.
This is what our house looked like back in November with the first snow.

We have a creek running in front of the property separating it from the road and an LDS church that is right below us. Aaron is dreaming of putting a draw bridge over the creek of course it would naturally have to be remote controled.






There are a lot of gorgeous trees everywhere and to top it off we have an orchard with all kinds of fruit trees.


And here is what the house looks like today after we got 5 inches of snow dumped on us. I think our driveway is going to make a nice sledding hill.


Inside the house we have plenty of room for all kinds of guests, so come and visit us anytime.

Happy Birthday Max! I can't believe it's been 5 years. Although Max might not make it to 6 since his grandma gave him a set of drums as a birthday present.

the story of my life...

Oh boy, do I relate to this old soviet cartoon now! The only difference is that I can't rebuild a car, yet.

Cousins

Now that we live only 3 hrs from our cousins Katya, Niles, Dale, Ragan and Isai, we get to see them more often. It's been fun watching them growing up. Recently we went there for baby Isai's blessing and had a very good photoshoot. Here are some pix, hope you enjoy them.

Spooky Halloween Party

We had our Halloween party early this year since we had to travel a lot this month. We had a great time especially since KK, PK, Ava and Grandma decided to join in the fun. It also wouldn't had been so awesomly decorated if it wasn't for them. Our castle was transformed into a haunted house. We had our own Baba Yaga (Ukrainian witch), and yes, you can all call Max and Jake sons of a witch now, especially since it was not a big stretch for G to become one.
Hope you all have a great time this Halloween and eat enough candy to last you a whole year.

Haircuts

They were being SO quiet, but this is what happens when Max and Sophia get a hold of scissors.
