Holiday Concert

Samantha and her cousin Austin had their holiday concert for chior yesterday. I forgot my camera, so here is the best I could do on my phone. And if you can find them you have better eyesight than me. It was a cute concert.

Kitty in a box

I got some boxes to mail Christmas gifts out and this is what happened as soon as I brought them in the house. Our kitty, Sophie, loves boxes and bags. :) Do you think anyone wants a kitty for Christmas? I could wrap her up.

Candy Wreath

This is a candy wreath my daughter made while she was staying the weekend at Grandma's. I thought it was so cute!! The scissors are attatched to it so that you can cut off a piece when you want it.

Utah!!

My kids and I went to Utah for Thanksgiving. My sister moved to St. George this summer and we have never visited there. Our kids had so much fun playing together. The boys made big messes but had a blast. The girls enjoyed riding bikes and watching movies together. Grandma and Grandpa were there too. The kids love being around their Grandparents. We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner. After I ran to the store because I ruined the first batch of stuffing. Oops. Then we got up at 3a.m. and went Black Friday shopping. Mom and Teri and I had fun. This is the first year I have gotten everything I wanted to get. Then on Saturday Brian (my brother in law) took us up Snow Canyon on some little hikes. It was so beautiful. Then Sunday was Jeremy's fifth birthday. I made him a turtle cake. He was sick on his birthday. He had a cold. He not only turned 5 but lost his second tooth. On Monday Grandma and Grandpa left and Teri and I hung out with our kiddos. We took them to get their pictures taken. Then we went to see Santa. Then the girls wanted to get their ears pierced, so we took them. It was such a fun visit!! There is so much to do around St. George, I can't wait to go back. We missed Ryan though. :( I am so grateful for my family and all they do for me. I hope you enjoy a few pictures from our trip. I will post more later.




This is what we like to call Little People Palooza! lol










These are some pictures from our hikes in Snow Canyon.





This is his birthday cake. It was fun to make!!






Not only did he turn 5, but he lost his second tooth on the same day.







These are pictures of the girls after they got their ears pierced. They look so cute!!
