Christmas Break Fun!

Grandma got the kids passes to Adventure Landing.

The kids had a blast with the Go Karts.

We adults did too!

Rylan got these sweet glasses for Michael

More Go Kart fun

The kids went back to Six Flags and got to sled. 

It was the perfect weather.

Evan got to go this time.  He had a great time!

We hope you all had a great Christmas as well, and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

I couldn't get them all dressed up at the same time in front of the tree, so this is as good as it got.  Evan and the nursery sang in church and the rest of the kids sang with the primary in church as well.   Michael and Joshua sang with the ward choir.

We went to the Galleria mall to check out the massive Christmas tree.   

We baked lots of yummy goodies with Grandma

All five kids in pjs on Christmas Eve.

It is hard with a family of our size to sit still.  ha ha

After Santa had come

Our Fireplace after Santa came

Christmas morning started a little later than usual because Evan slept in.  He didn't wake up until 7:30.  ha ha

It didn't take long after that to dig in.

Michael finally got a new TV.  He always said how out of all of his siblings he had the smallest tv.  

We had a yummy dinner and dessert.  

We had a wonderful Christmas filled with family and love!  We hope you had a great one too!  We are so grateful for our Savior and love celebrating his birth.

Christmas Party

We dressed Aaron up for the Ward Christmas party

Thiago joined in on the fun

We had live music at our ward Christmas party.

Lots of good food

We did a little dancing too.

More December Happenings

Joshua had his honor choir concert.  

They did a great job and he looked like he was having so much fun!

We went to the Bass Pro Shop to see Santa and play with the toys. 

The kids loved the games and toys.

I loved these digger things as a kid.  I am glad they are coming back.  :)

The kids are always up for a picture. ha ha

Lincoln logs are always a hit.

I thought the picture turned out pretty good with Santa.  All three kids almost looking.  The kids who care about Santa anyway.  ;)

Dallin and I went out for donuts this past Friday and shopped for our angel tree gift.  He loves his donuts!

This baby always tries to coo and smile when it is time to go to sleep.  :)

Evan and Aaron hanging out at home.  

December!

We went to our city's Christmas tree lighting.  We are standing in front of ice sculptures here.

It so pretty once it is lit up and they play fun music.

My kids were excited about it!  

We didn't stay long, due to a long week , but had a great time. 

 Joshua turned 10!  I can't believe his is 10!  He is a great son!  We are so blessed to have him in our lives!  He is always willing to help his brothers or sister or others.   He loves to read.  Joshua's favorite school subjects are science and math.  He loves choir and enjoys meeting new people and trying new things.  He is growing up fast.  He is just like a mini Michael.  :)

Joshua asked for a quidditch cake.  This sis what I came up with.  ha ha  

After Joshua opened up presents Leah decided to use the left over wrapping paper to design herself a dress.  lol

Catching up with School

Joshua had his choir concert.  They sang some lovely songs.

Evan had his first dentist visit.  No cavities for all kids!  Yea!!!  Evan was really nervous, but did great!  He kept telling me his teeth weren't big enough for this yet.  ha ha

Dallin got Gold honor roll and Top Cat award.  Joshua got silver honor roll.  

Leah had her singing program as well.  She did great.  It was really cute to see her all dressed up.

She sang her songs than had a Thanksgiving feast afterwards.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving.  Michael's sister Nicole made us delicious food all week.  The kids loved all of her really awesome toys!  The kids loved playing with their cousins!  We had a great time!  My kids are asking when we get to see them again already.

We went to the air museum.  

They had a great time looking at planes!

Leah and Rachel had to do Nicole and I's hair.

We hung out and watched movies as well

We played at the park as well.  We met up with my brother and his family!  It was so great to see him.

It was so nice for my brother to drive down and visit with us.  It has been a couple of years since I have seen him.  He has a beautiful family!

Our phones welcomed us to Mexico while we were driving.  This is Mexico on the other side of the fence.  ha ha
