Christmas Eve

We had a good time with Lances family this year at Christmas Eve. They always do a nativity and this year Brinlee got to be Mary. I can't believe that she got up in front of people!! We were very proud of her!!! We had a big dinner and opened presents. Every year Lances grandma writes a poem about each family. We had a good time and it was nice to be there again on Christmas Eve. That night the kids got to open thier jammies!! They all looked so cute!! Lance and I had been sick all week but we got it together and had a fun Christmas Eve.

Gingerbread Houses

We did get our gingerbread houses done!!! Wahoo!!! But Lance bought one of the put it together kits and the whole thing was broken!! So we tried to make them on our own with graham crackers. They turned out pretty good!! I think the kids ate more candy than they did decorating!!!

Temple Lights

One December night we took the kids to see the temple lights for family night. It was beautiful!!! The weather was so nice and the kids just loved getting out and seeing the pretty lights. I love the temple. I did not realize just how wonderful it really is until I moved away from one for 3 years. I took the temple for granted and I am so glad that we are back and only within 15 minutes to it instead of 4 hours!!! We have received so many blessings lately by trying to attend the temple more often.

Braysen turns 2!!!

I can't believe my baby is 2!!! Boy has time gone by. He is such a sweet little boy but SOOOOOOOO BUSY!!! In fact aunt Sandy has taught him to say I am busy!!! He loves cars,trucks,anything that makes noise. He likes to climb up the shelves in the pantry and grab twinkies and eat them. He loves to play and get into trouble with his boy cousins and throw eggs all over Grandmas garage. I could go on and on but I am so glad this little boy is in our family we just ALL love him to pieces!!!

Decorating the tree

So this Christmas we had alot of fun decorating the tree. After Braysen broke 7 ornaments I decided that I probably should go to plastic ornaments next year!!!

Thanksgiving

So since I hosted Thanksgiving this year I only got 2 pics!!! That is terrible!! We had such a good time it was so nice to have my parents and grandparents here. I loved having everyone over and my parents stayed with us which I always love!! At Thanksgiving Dinner it was a table with Grammie and all the grandkids, Boy do they love their Grammie!!! Thanks everyone for coming over it was a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Sissy Looses her 1st tooth

Everything is such drama with my sweet little girl. When she lost this tooth it was the end of the world. But when she found out money was involved everything was all better!!! She is such a funny little girl!!! The toothfairy brought 5 bucks, boy did I get ripped off when I was a kid!!!
