we have been tagged! How exciting, our first being tagged moment of our married life. My uncle Tony tagged us and here are the seven things you don't care to know about me (Cassott).

We are the cutest couple ever, and are not too proud to admit it. 

We have clean noses, and take care in the quality that is therefore shown in our pictures.

We eat good. Especially Scott. He IS a growing boy.

We teach kids to do bad things. Scott taught Zoie Frongner to eat a potato raw and tricked her into thinking that she liked it. After a few minutes she was even offering to share, as shown in this picture.

Unlike most people, we knew (subconsciously) on our first date that we were meant to be together. This picture was taken on our first date! Yep, we are insanely amazing like that.

We are immortal! At least we think so. 

While we were dating we took turns getting hurt and taking care of each other. Scott got into a super intense bike wreck after a couple of weeks of us dating. The next week I sprained my ankle pretty bad and still months later it hurts if I twist it wrong. We are special.

And most importantly, we like each other! This is something that our siblings particularly don't care to know so we thought it very important to add to our list. 

TAG! You're it!

We had a very very very very very very VERY white Christmas :). Before yesterday we had about a foot of snow. Then it snowed all day yesterday! So now we have closer to 2 feet of snow. It made for a very white first Christmas :) We are excited to go play in it today. 

So here is a preview of the special Christmas we had. Scott and I have decided to do something super special every year, we are going to make nativity's every year. So this is our first homemade nativity:

We are impressed with ourselves since neither of us are very super dooperly artistic. 

We got some exciting presents. We received presents from both of our families and Timmy will be very proud of me for posting this picture. This is the very warm hat he gave me for christmas (notice Timmy how I didn't say how ugly it is? You should be proud of me.)

I also got some cool socks from my parents and Scott and I decided that they were cool enough to wear.

I made Scott a beanie for Christmas and he received a nice blanket from work. We also received lots of games and things for our house. We were very lucky and very very blessed. Thanks families!

Dan was here with us for Christmas and we all worked together to make the perfect Christmas dinner. It was the first fancy dinner Scott and I have had in our first house. It is so much fun to have so many firsts here in our first little cute little yellow little house. :)

We had ham, cheesy potatoes, salad, and sparkling cider. All the goodness of life. We are excited for meals today because we have leftovers! wawho :)

So here is a preview of the snow! This car is our neighbor's and has been parked in their driveway all during break so this is all the snow that has fallen since students left for break. 

This is Scott pulling into our driveway. If you pay close attention you will notice that the mounds of snow on either side of our driveway are about as tall at Betsy (the car). I am going to work on fixing that today so we can actually see when we pull out of the driveway. After we had eaten all three of us went out and cleared our driveway of snow. There was close to three feet of snow at the end of the driveway from where the snowplows had cleared the road. I wish I would have got a picture of that! It took us over an hour to get the driveway cleared. 

This is right outside of our door and this is the snow that had fell yesterday. To the right is where we push the snow over but this area was mostly cleared when we went to bed christmas eve...

After our hard work we came in and had some tasty apple crisp :) It was the first time I had ventured into making it and it turned out tasty! 

We had a very special day and are so grateful for the many blessings the Lord has given us. We love our Savior and are grateful for the chance we have to celebrate his birth and life, not just on Christmas, but throughout the year! :)

Before I give you updates, be sure to pay attention to the slideshows! I put up a new one today :) 

Yesterday Scott had the day off so he took me to work at the Manwaring Center and then he and Dan went Christmas shopping. After I got off work they came and got me and dropped me off at home before venturing out again. While they were gone I got to clean, it was great fun! I got to use our new washer and dryer!!! Yipee! When Scott came home the second time he made us dinner. Here are some of the adventures he had :)

Peak season is in full swing! We calculated last night and realized that Scott worked 26 hours in a two day period! He has been helping the driver and working real hard. On Friday he got home while I was still at work and so he showered and got cleaned and then came and got me and we went to dinner. You wouldn't think he had cleaned himself up looking at these pictures:

but he did! He scrubbed and scrubbed and all the brown was left. I even had him fingerprinted to document his lack of fingerprints because he doesn't use gloves so his fingertips become very smooth. It is crazy cool. 

Well, I have been waiting for us to get a desk to do this, but then I decided that this has been a part of our life for 2 months and needs documented so you might as well see it too! So I made a video of your grand tour of our house. I hope you enjoy it! I did forget to show you the door to our guest bedroom where Dan is staying so if you pay attention you will see it. If you have problems with motion sickness you may want a pill or patch ready (Hallie and Mom)

Merry Christmas!

the goose is getting fat!

Scott and I are loving getting ready for our first Christmas together :). Below is a picture of Scott next to our beautiful perfectly fake tree :) We loved setting it up together and are preparing to make ourselves some nativity sets. As you might notice, Scott is also dressed in his UPS uniform. This is a special thing! To unload he does not get to wear a uniform, so this is special because he gets to wear it while he helps 'run' packages, thus helping UPS drivers get their jobs done faster. He is kind of on call for that position of a 'runner' but is still working his regular hours. Oh how grateful we are for UPS. 

This here is my husband Scott taking our perfectly fake tree out of the box the day we 'cut it down' off the shelves at wal-mart :) (reading that sentence in w/a farmer accent makes it fun!)

These here next pictures might be a little scary for the children...just a heads up. So a few weeks ago we were at Dan's for the Kinghorn family phone call. While we were listening and talking Dan and Scott encountered two rubberbands and began playing with them. We had some serious fun. They even tricked me into joining in on the fun. It is so great having family so close!

Things are really going great for us here at the Kinghorn house. Life is just grrrr-8! :)

So I have been doing such a good job being  a little wife...up until yesterday. What makes this so depressing is that yesterday was our one month anniversary (which Scott pointed out to me after church Sunday! Good job Scott! Way to set a high standard for yourself ;) ) So my day went along very slowly and I got home with enough time to clean and cook dinner before Scott got home at 7pm. Problem is, I got so caught up in the cleaning that I lost track of time :( as I was finishing up the last of it, my amazing husband (whom I had not seen all day) walked in the door. He was good enough to notice the nice smell of cleaning supplies and was very patient with my not having dinner ready. This was the first time since we had gotten married that I had not got dinner on the table within 5 minutes of him being home. BUT, we did survive. I was able to pull together a chicken nacho kind of thing-a-ma-gig. It was so nice to be with Scott and have a clean house. I am so lucky to have such a great man in my life. Horray! 

So, as the title suggestes, I FIGURED IT OUT! I had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to make for dinner yesterday because I made it so late. I wanted something filling and fast. All the things I could think of call for lots of time and attention.  So from now on I will use the lovely crockpot of life. Our little crockpot deserves a name...he will save lives. (mainly Scott's)
