Pictures of the kids

My friend Julie Lange took some pics of the kids and they are so cute! We lucked out because it rained the next day!

Ciara's Birthday

We went out to dinner to celebrate my friend Ciara's Birthday. We went to Yanagis and ate at the Tapan tables. Jared and I ordered some sushi for a appetizer, it was so good! We had a fun night out with friends!

49ers game

My brother Steven won some tickets to the 49ers vs. seahawks but he could not go so he gave the tickets to Jared and Carson. The seats were really close to the field, right where the players come out. Carson got his glove signed by a seahawks player, He was so excited! He got to eat a big hot dog and some cotton candy. Carson had a great time at his first NFL Football game!

Brooklyn and her crafts

Brooklyn loves to do projects especially painting. She got really messy this time with a little bit of finger painting!

Brooklyn's field trip

Brooklyn's Preschool went on a field trip to Holloways Christmas Tree Farm. They rode in a school bus and went for a tractor ride. The Farm owner showed them how to flock a tree and then they had a little snack. Brooklyn had a lot of fun on her first field trip. Ashlyn and I had fun too!

Sleeping Baby

I just love a sleeping baby and I realized that I don't have any pictures of Ashlyn in her crib. So cute, she loves Brooklyn's Fancy Nancy Frenchy Dog!

Ward Christmas Party

This year was a complete 180 for Brooklyn, she was looking forward to sitting on Santa's lap and even brought him a little present. The smile on her face when she walked up to Santa was unforgettable! So no screaming kids this year, although I would have had one if I had Ashlyn sit with Santa but I decided not to torture her! The kids got to make a snowflake ornament and a baby Jesus in a little walnut shell for a bed ornament. Santa was defiantly the high light!

Christmas tree

We had a great time decorating our Christmas tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Ashlyn was having a great time posing for the camera with Grady!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went down to San Diego and had a blast with our Family, Grandma, pa, Tonia, Ammon, Damon, Jeremy, Jaime, Kamryn and Macy! We played lots of games, helped Jaime cook an amazing thanksgiving feast, watched Craig eat more potatoes than I have ever seen anyone eat ever, woke up at 3 am to shop the Black Friday sales and sip on some yummy Carmel apple spice, the kids played with a grasshopper and it almost got loose in the house. We also went to the Mormon Battalion which was really neat, we even got to pan for gold at the end of our tour! We all had a great time with our family. It is such a blessing to live close to family so that we can share such fun memories! Thanks for the spicy time!!!
