December update

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give you an update as to what has been going on at the Siggins house this month!

All of us kids have been very busy all month finishing up with school for the semester! Carol and I have midterms due this week and the rest of the girls are finishing some last assignments before the next semester starts.
Dad and Colby have been busy working. My brother actually works for my dad now! He's basically like my dad's assistant, which is awesome.
My mom has been busy taking care of our family... 9 people! Yes, it's as crazy as it sounds sometimes! =) She does an incredible job though, and none of us can figure out how she does it! 
We have been preparing for Christmas; lights, ornaments, decorations, goodies, parties, and more! We are planning on having Christmas here which hasn't happened in years, so we are looking forward to just being at the house during the holidays. 

Hope you all are doing well!

Merry Christmas!

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ~Isaiah 9:6

Red Belt

The last taekwondo test in November Charity and I both passed! Charity now has her bumblebee belt (Yellow with a black stripe) and I have my red! That's the second red belt we have in the family... Hopefully one day we will all have black! 
Here is a picture of the new red belt!

Christmas Tree Hunting

This past week we went up to the Big Horns to cut down a tree! This is the first real tree we've had in years. Normally we just take our tree out of the box and put it all together but now that the younger girls are getting big enough to bear the freezing cold to go get one we decided to cut our own this year! Here are a few pictures from our adventure =)
These girls were ready to go!


Trudging through the snow. It was 3 feet deep in some places!

The spectacular view from the top.


Dragging the trees back! (One for the grandparents and one for us!)


Tada!


Mission accomplished.

This is what most people call red neck, but it totally worked! =)
