Christmas in Wyoming

As soon as Matthew finished his last final we headed out of Pullman. We stayed the first night at the Asay's, then on Sunday Matthew headed to North Platte, NE. He spent three days at a mixed vet practice clinic, and really enjoyed his time there. Ian and I spent those days with my family, and enjoyed spending time with Grandma, Grandpa, Bethany, Jake, Brandy, Mark, Sam and her boyfriend Evan .
Christmas eve we had our traditional gnocchi dinner. Matthew's Grandpa Asay brought the recipe home from his mission years ago. That evening we headed to my parents for some yummy finger foods, and the Christmas story. The next morning everyone was so excited to see Ian open his presents. We of course were spoiled by both our families again this year. That afternoon we headed to Matthew's parents for dinner and to skype with his brother Jared who is in Africa on a mission. We are excited that he gets to come home in just about 10 days. We don't get to see him till April but it will be great to see him. We enjoyed our Christmas with lots of family and celebrating the birth of our Savior. We are so thankful for him and his wonderful example to us. 

Ian loved playing with Grandpa Bullinger's pop, and playing in the toy cupboard at my parents.
