Nativity Story

Naughty or Nice?

If Santa didn't get their lists the first time they had another chance at Mike's firm's family party. I know katelyn had forgotten to tell Santa about the guitar she wanted the first time she had a chance to chat with him.




Tyler is fine on Santa's lap and then becomes afraid of him after. Crazy kid!

I love this picture! This is Brigham pointing to Santa and telling his Dad all about him.

More Hair Fun

How about some festive hair!!
Aunt Ronni treated the girls to a day of hair and nails.
Thanks Aunt Ronni!

Missing Florida?

Winter Storm Warning in Effect until Tomorrow
Kids are loving it
School is Out
Santa is on his way!

Monkey David took the kids outside to play in the snow. Check out the boots- stylin!


Briggy don't you know tricycles don't work in the snow?


David got Amy right on the forehead

Katelyn's was planning a big revenge on David.

Viewer Beware!!

Katelyn had a gap in her two front teeth caused by her frenulum seperating them. While her two front adult teeth were growing in we decided to have her get a frenectomy in hopes to prevent braces or veneers at a later date. I will let you know in a year or so if it worked.

Ward Christmas Party

We had a wonderful family Christmas party with our ward. Yummy warm breakfast, story telling, killer game of Bingo in which Amy and Katelyn each won a prize (the same Bingo card won twice), gingerbread "creation" competition, sing-a-long songs and then the craziest Santa ever!
Don't get me wrong- my heart goes out to a guy that volunteers to dress up in an old, nasty, wool suit to have a bunch of bigs kids sit on him or little ones cry from fear. But this Santa was too much. When he first came out you could tell right away Santa had been popping too many Twinkies in his off season and his suit was stretched to the limit. Close up on suit with Ty on his lap.


but then... he proceeds to get everyone to join him in a dance around the gym "Come everyone and join Santa"!!! It was hillarious! A huge chain circle of kids and adults prancing around and singing with Santa. I stayed put right where I was sitting because I was not going to miss this spectacular for the world.

The merry ol' Saint Nicholas was huffin' and puffin' and decided it was time to get to business so he sits down. Santa is so out of breath so his "helper" announces that we will sing some more Christmas songs while Santa catches his breath "a little".

The kids line up and Amy is the 5th in line. She gets up there and they chat about her list, pose for some pics and then she comes and sees us when she is done. The first things she says is "Santa's lap was a little sweaty". HA!!!!

Amy make lots of observations about Santa





A beautiful rendition of a church...

and the evil ones who detroyed it!

Sisters

Jill and Jodi did up Kate and Amy's hair before the big dance in Blanding and I snapped some pics. These two love having their hair done. Santa, if your listening, we would like one of those cool spiral curling irons...

Trash or Treasure?

One man's trash is another man's treasure...
I don't know if anyone else has this daily "occurence" at their house. I throw the same thing away in the garbage can two or three times a day. Tyler's biggest thing lately is going through the junk mail in the trash can and keeping it after I have thrown it away. I have to throw things away from Katelyn while she is at school outside in the city can because she will find it in the house cans. (While she was at school today I threw out an 2 inch thick pile of junk mail and school papers she had hid in a drawer from me)Briggy likes to munch on the food scraps. Amy always takes a gander in the trash and questions my motives.

Will everyone just leave the garbage alone???!!!
