Here's the pic of the kids!

Not too bad! Spencer looks like he was smiling, but he really was pissed off and I just got a little smurk out of him!!

I'm surprised it's not more! LOL

New Family Picture!

The beginning of December we went and had a new family pic taken. Not the best, not the worst! We went to Picture People and I'm just not satisfied with them! Oh well I guess.

Christmas

We had a GREAT Christmas this year! Santa done did treat us well! We started off witht he kids coming down at around 8:30. The kids loved how many presents were under the tree! Thanks to those secret santas!! We ate our orange rolls around 10:30 and then everyone got ready to go to Christmas brunch at mom and dads. It was a very nice relaxing day!! Everyone loved their gifts! They each got what they wanted from Santa. Sariah wanted Lara Croft, Tomb Raider for xbox 360, Caylie wanted the game of LIFE, Joseph wanted Lego Star Wars II for xbox 360, Jaren wanted Halo III for xbox 360 and Spencer, well he didn't have any requests but got some cute toys! Mom and dad got us date boxes! A bottle of Sparkling cider and some gift cards to go enjoy ourselves without the children. We got cards to Old Navy (can't forget the shopping), Olive Garden, Coldstone, and Stewart Andersons. Thanks Mom and Dad. The kids got starting with Sariah, a digital camera, that she doesn't like, it's not what she thought it was going to be, so It's going back to the store, and a fun hair kit thing where she can put colored streaks in her hair. Caylie got a much wanted Art Easel. If any of you know Caylie you would know that her passion is Art!! She opened it right up. It's like a professional easel and came with lots of paints, brushes, a pallet, and even some canvases. When she gets home this weekend I will have her pose with it! Joseph and Jaren got cool Darth Vader laptops. They are enjoying them. Spencer got his little ride on, push along car. He hasn't had the time to enjoy it yet, but I know that he will. All of us kids went together this year and made mom and dad a quilt with all the grandkids pictures on it. Theya really enjoyed it. Me being the dork that I am didn't get a pic. As soon as I get over there I'll take a pic and post it. It's awesome. We aren't professional seamstresses, but it turned out well!! All in all it was a very merry Christmas! Hope you all had the same!


Happy birthday Nathan!

This last weekend the kids were able to go to their cousin's birthday party. They all stayed the night at grammy and papa's and then the next morning we all went to JJ Jumps! It's a place with all the inflatable jump houses. The kids had a blast! Thanks Greg and Melinda!

Girlfriend's Dinner

The last 2 years, some good friends in the ward have hosted a girlfriend's dinner. A group of 8 of us get together to eat and have fun. The two hosts cook dinner for the group. This year it consisted of roast, potatoes, green beans, yummy orange rolls, "Christmas Salad" Which is awesome, a fruit cup, and to top it all off a very yummy chocolate fudge suffle! We do a dessert exchange, white elephant style, and here's what I came home with this year!! I only got it because I had stolen it for the last time and no one could take it from me!!! King sized cupcakes that were decorated totally cute. They were soooo yummy. I like them sooo much that I had Shule get me 2 pans for Christmas. So, now I can make them!! YIPEE!! After dinner we have craft time, and we all made the cute little ornaments that you see in the pics. Super easy, super cute project!! Can't wait for next year!! I don't have many pics because of course my camera wasn't working before. I got pics of the projects after I was home!! I know there were lots of pics taken though, If I happen to get some, I'll add. Thanks Emily and Alisha!

What happens when children are home alone and find a camera!
