Getting ready for Christmas....

Decorating the Christmas tree(s). The kids each have trees in their rooms and can decorate them however they choose. Connor got very creative and used a University of Utah football theme. He downloaded the football pictures from the internet, put them on red paper and hung them on his Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas!!!

So this was the best Christmas ever!! This is the first Christmas that the kids were actually more excited about giving each other presents than getting their own presents. We had such a fun Christmas together with so many great memories. Now comes the really fun part....putting all the decorations away!

My baby is 17!!

It's hard to believe that my oldest baby is 17 (especially because I am only 30). Her birthday was on December 21st. It seems like only yesterday that she was my little baby-doll that I dressed up and played with. She is such a fun daughter. We love you, Kelsey!

Our Thankful Tree....

We made a "Thankful" tree during Family Home Evening on Monday. We ended up having so many things we are thankful for that we couldn't fit all the leaves on the tree. Some of my favorite leaves are the family, the gospel, our freedom, our friends, Disneyland, Utah (as in football), every sport, our jobs, our health, etc.... I really believe that if you ever feel down, count your blessings and you will realize how lucky you are!!

From the Funny Papers ...

Oh my gosh! I wish they really would invent this thing. If you've ever called my house when my kids are home or I have just worked, then I bet you wish I had one too!

From the Funny Papers...

Does this remind you of anyone?!

Halloween

My two Minnies!

Check out our cute kids on Halloween! We had such a fun holiday. We started with Trunk or Treat at the church, and then the kids went Trick or Treating. We had WAY too much candy.
