Christmas Eve!!!

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas Eve. It is a tradition that we all look forward too. The kids were so excited all day and could hardly wait to go and open presents. It was a huge surprise for them to see Santa there. Once again Grandma and Grandpa out did themselves. Skyler and Jen drew our family name and bought us a great set of bound Ensigns and Friends. They also got each one of the kids a stocking full of gifts. It was a great evening.

Halie's Preschool Christmas Program

Halie had her first school program, and needless to say she could have cared less. She refused to sing or even attempt to enjoy any of it. She didn't even care that Santa made an appearance.

Christmas Tree 2008

We spent last Sunday decorating our Christmas tree. It was the first time that Deni and Peyton were involved in the process. We had a great deal of fun listening to Christmas music and taking out all of our decorations. Christmas is so much fun when there are little ones around to share in the excitement.

Thanksgiving!

We were so busy Thanksgiving day that these are the only pictures I took. As you can see Deni and Peyton were feeling like they had been forgotten. It was a lot of fun spending time with Marv, Karen, Jake, Dylon, Kalob, Mindy, Matt, Ryan, Patty and Gary. It was the first time we had ever hosted Thanksgiving dinner. What a LOT of WORK!!!

Halie's First Preschool Party

Halie had her first big preschool party. She was able to wear her costume to school. As you can see she was Belle off Beauty and The Beast. She truly felt like a princess.

Mackenzie's Birthday

Mackenzie turned six on the 21st of October. We had a small family get together. Everyone that could make it came. As usual she got more then she needed.

Idaho State Fair!!!

We took the kids to the fair Saturday night and had a great time. We went to see all the animals and were able to pet most of them. They were scared of the longhorn cows. The girls had to have their faces painted. They saw a clown and thought she was the greatest thing they had seen all night. We also had to have pictures taken with all the cut outs. We had a great time.
