It's been a fun month of Christmas parties, cards from friends & family as well, & way too much candy. Here's a few of our highlights.
Josh looking like a stud as a "Wise Man" in the Ward Party.
Jessi has got to be the "Star" of the show 2 years in a row. If you can't tell - Halle is an angel.
Janice Worton created an awesome Christmas party this year with a hilarious "12 Days of Christmas" song that helped us all get involved. My personal favorite was "5 old high priests!" (One of them was Grampa Dennis)
Dana & I took our girls to David Archuleta's Christmas concert. We were in row 5! Close enough that Jessi was just sure he looked right at her!
I got to go with Jessi on "The Nutcracker" ballet field trip. I just loved it, big shocker. Even Jessi was impressed with the costumes & dancing. Yahoo!
What do you do when it's too cold to ride the motorcycle? Go to Napa! All we have to say is, "Motorcycle" and Halle comes running. Great . . .
Quinn played her first hymn, "Away in a Manger" at her Christmas concert. She was amazing.
That same night Jessi had her first flute concert with the 5th Graders. She was wonderful too.
Shelby with her Kindergarten Program.
Josh is in the middle, I promise.
My kids (like everyone's) just love making sugar cookies. We even broke out the aprons - WOW!
Not sure how to flip this pix but Shelby begged to help mop the floor. So they jumped into their swimsuits, we poured some warm water on the floor, & they had a blast. My Mom use to let us do this when I was little & I still remember thinking she was just so cool!
On Monday most of the family went skiing at Pebble Canyon. It was Shelby's first time skiing & she just rocked. Her new name is "Turbo" because she beat Josh down the hill. As you can tell Halle really wants to be included next time.
Electronics are still a hit with my men.
Jessi got a color yourself bag that she's already finished. She can't wait to use it for school.
Quinn got a nice set of drawing pencils - her teammates teased her that she was the only 13yr old that still loved to color.
Shelby got a fun play dough cake maker - Halle loves it too.
Josh got a bow & arrow from Santa that he just loves.
All week we've used the crafts, games, & toys to keep busy. We've visited the library, Napa, & Pebble a few times since the kids don't have school. Ahh, I love vacation with no schedules. Merry Christmas everyone!

Looks like a fantastic week your a good mom!! Glad you guys had a good Christmas.
What a super fun vacation! Your kids are all so beautiful and handsome! Merry Christmas!
It looks like you had a great Christmas. I had to laugh a few times because we got Sammy the same bag as Jessi's and the jammers Shelby was wearing... they're a little big so they'll have to wait for next year. We must think alike. ;)
Hope we get to see you soon!
