Much needed Mallory Family time!

Gracilyn and Boone, her very 1st first cousin! She pestered him the whole time! I bet the next time they're together he will be able to fight back!

They're gonna be best buds!

~Grandmamma and Gracilyn~

By the end of our trip Gracilyn was attached to her Grandaddy! The second Sunday we were there she spotted him on the stand (he is in the Bishopric) and started reaching for him and whining when we wouldn't let her go get him. Then during Sunday school (yes we ditched) she was following him around... I think she melted his heart because he pretty much gave her whatever she wanted:) I thought this picture was too sweet not to post!

Quack Quack

Nicholas was so excited to go hunting in Idaho... He went duck hunting with a friend and his brother the day before New Years Eve, and then he fried it all up with a pheasant his brother shot earlier for our New Years Eve dinner... I actually tried it and i must say the pheasant was WAY better than the duck in my opinion... Gracilyn didn't know what to think when he showed her the dead ducks and i love these pictures that show her reaction... i think she is more upset that dad is holding the ducks and not her... i just wont accept that we may have a animal rights activist as a daughter!!! haha

Proud hunters!

YES, Real ducks were harmed in the making of our dinner!

Christmas!

We were so excited to be able to go to Idaho for Christmas! We left Dec 23rd and didn't come back till Jan 2nd!!! We had so much fun with the fam! These are pics of Christmas day, it was so much fun! It started out with a BIG surprise... my mom told me that J.T. prolly wouldn't be able to call me so i wasn't planning on hearing from him... then as i was getting ready for church my phone rang and it was ELDER SLADE:) we only talked for a little bit cause he was headed to church too, but he got to call back and we talked longer! Man i miss that kid and can't wait till he comes home! Anywho, we went to church and it was short and sweet... Dad Mallory spoke and did an awesome job! It was way neat to get to hear him speak... We then went home and busted open all the presents! I feel super blessed to have married into such a kind, giving, amazing family!
