Christmas

 He was so excited he woke up at five thirty, but being the nice parents we are we told him to come back at seven thirty. 

 He got a Green Bay Packers blanket, legos, books, games, clothes.  He must have been on the nice list again.

 Ember woke up a little later and so here she is opening up a kitty night light. 

 She got a Doc Mcstuffins bag, clothes, coloring books, sofia the first, doc mcsutffins doll.  She must have been on the nice list too.

 My mom bought her this dress and she had to change into it!

 Brice's favorite part of Christmas, breakfast!!  He eats so much in the morning he doesn't eat the rest of the day!

 Tayson is loving board games and so here he is playing the game of Life.  We were so lucky to have Trent and Wendy come and spend some of the holiday with us.

Picture is out of order, but here is Tayson with his checkers game.  We are truly blessed and I am so thankful we get to celebrate the birth of the Savior of every year.  This post is quite late, but I hope and pray we can always remember the birth of Jesus throughout the whole year.

Annual Christmas Party

 We get together at my mom and dad's house and have dinner, craft and Santa come.  Here is Tayson with his best smile!!

 I loved this one of Maddy.  I am glad I got one with grandpa in the picture.

 

 Tayson is photo bombing this picture of me and Brice with Santa.

 Kelsie, Hayden and Ember enjoying their treats from Santa!!

 They made these cute trees out of sugar cones and frosting.  Dad is helping Ember.

There is my sweet Ember with Santa.  She walked right up to him and was not aftraid at all.  Then we have Tayson decorating his tree.  He loves when I take pictures of him!

Gingerbread House

 I bought a kit for a gingerbread house last year after Christmas and so here the kids are putting it together for 2013. 

 The pictures got  a little mixed up.  Here is the finished house with my Ember being so excited.

 Tayson loves his picture taken!!  Dad got to be the icing guy!!

Ember sat here for an hour putting on her decorations.  She had a great time.  I bought another one for this year, it will be fun.

Thanksgiving

 We had such a great Thanksgiving.  This is my nephew Brock and he is so cute.  I love taking pictures of him.  He is playing with the tractor!!

 Here is an after the meal shot.  Having a good time with family.

 I liked this picture of my mom.  She is one awesome lady and I am so thankful and blessed to have her as my mom.

 This is the food table.  We had such good food with good company.

 Judy joined us this year for Thanksgiving and we were so glad she came.

Here is Kasey eating pie!!  I am so thankful for the family that I have.  That puts up with my craziness and loves me anyways.  I am so thankful for the Gospel and the testimony I have of our Savior and Heavenly Father.

Christmas Concert

 Here is Ember in front of the Hello Kitty tree at the Weber School District's Christmas Tree Jubilee at the Ecclee's Center before Thanksgiving.

 Here is Tayson after he sang at the Jubilee.  He did such a good job.  He even sang a song in Latin.

I had to put this picture up of Ember.  she looks so cute in all of her snow stuff!

Leaves

 At Gramby and Grandpa's house they have a big tree and the kids love to go over and "help" them rake the leaves.  I love Ember's cheese!

 Tayson almost covered.

 Only his head is visible!!

 Ember running through the leaves.

 I love this picture.  Her hair is flying and so are the leaves.  She was so cute to watch.

Here are the two monkeys.  They could play for hours in the leaves.  They both had a good time.

Halloween

 We went up to Gramby and Poppie's house for our annual halloween party.  This is Ember decorating a sugar cookie.

 Tayson is hard at work decorating his cookie!!

 Here is Tayson, Gramby and Ember.  They love having the Halloween party every year.

 So at the party Ember was Belle, but for halloween she chose to be Minnie mouse!  She got really scared of the older kids costumes so she only trick or treated around the block.

Tayson was some character from Star Wars ( I think)!!  He did not want his picture taken, but like a good mom I made him be in one!
