Doh!

Merry Christmas!!!!

This year we decided to spend the night at my parents for Christmas. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. We had such a great time with Tanner, Leisha, Holly, Adam, Mom, Dad and Grandpa. We enjoyed mom's great traditional candle lit dinner and then reading and reenacting the Nativity. It was a fun night filled with Tanner and Josie dancing, Grandpa singing Greensleeves, Christmas music and kids full of excitement.

Spreading some Reindeer Dust

During our Christmas Eve celebration we heard bells and a knock at the door. The kids were excited to find PJ's with a note from the Elves...it was time to go to bed!

All snuggled in....

Tanner's Christmas surprise in his stocking (Leisha I can't believe you!)

She asked for Dorothy shoes....I guess by the look on her face these were close enough

Tea Party with Belle

It's all about trains for this kiddo

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Santa came to L-town on a firetruck to take orders last Friday. The kids have always been too scared to enjoy it, but this year they couldn't wait!!!!

Josie and Santa reading her letter:
Dear Santa,

I like you. I've been good. Please bring me fingernail polish, teaset, and Dorothy shoes.
Love, Josie

Birthday Girl!!!

This past weekend was Josie's Birthday. She has been anticipating this day since September. She had a great day and loved every minute of it. We love having Josie in our family. She is a little tease but always makes us laugh. She loves princesses, reading, tea parties and painting her nails. She loves her little sister so much she can't keep her hands off of her. Her and Payton are little buddies and play and fight and play and fight all day. Isn't that great? This is a picture of her with her favorite person in the world and she's holding the card that her Uncle Cole sent her from his mission. It was definitely a highlight for the day!

Halloween Party!!!

Patti had an awesome Halloween Party. It was one of the most fun I've been to. We're not usually the type to get into dressing up, but we all had a great time! Patti went all out with a Spook Alley, Carving Pumpkins, a Pinata. Even the food was themed with Mummy Dogs, Goblets with Dripping Blood, Eyeball deviled eggs and more. Thank you Nana for the fun!

Autumn Adventures

Well apparently Fall is here and we are hoping it will stick around for awhile. The past few days have been freezing so I am dreading Winter already. We've already had snow flurries. Hunting has begun...YeeHaw. Landon was gone last week hunting elk in the Uintas and alas was unsuccessful but had a good time freezing in a teepee dreaming of his bed at home. We did make it up Logan Canyon to enjoy some beautiful views a few weeks ago. We went to Tonys Grove, I can't believe I have never been there. It was great and we will definately be going back. On our way out we saw a deer, bull elk and bull moose all in about 100 yards. The kids thought we were at the zoo.
