Sleeping Angels

Visiting the temple

Things I made for the craft fair

Christmas morning! We all had a blast!

Christmas Eve and seeing santa AGAIN! The kids got to open one gift from santa and Ariana got a crown and earring set, but Connor was so upset that he didnt even want to open his. Maybe he will like santa better next year!

We had fun putting up the Christmas tree. Bryan decided he wanted a real tree this year and it was so nice. It smelled so good and the kids had such a blast decorating it!

Here is the rest of us at the Christmas party; Mom, Ranja, Connor and Ariana. Ariana insisted on bringing her baby (she can't seem to go anywhere without it) and she had a blast playing with grandma's cell phone. She loved seeing Santa, and was absolutely thrilled to get a gift bag (which was filled with a clemantine that she thought was a tiny pumpkin, 2 pieces of candy and about 6 handfulls of peanuts) By the time Christmas came, she had already seen Santa 5 different times! This was the first year that she was not scared to bits of Santa, so it was nice to see her happily sitting on his lap and talking to him. We all had fun!

This was when Aubrey and baby Kyle came to visit us from Idaho for almost 3 weeks. It was so much fun! We had a blast hanging out, making bows and watching our boys (3 months apart) playing together and keeping Ariana from beating on them. It was awesome! We had a Christmas party for our ward and Santa came, and as you can see Kyle thought he was great, but Connor was utterly horrified! If you look closely, you can see Kyle looking at Connor like he's off his rocker and Santa is laughing behind his glasses. It was too funny! We miss you guys!!!!!!

I am so sorry it has literally been forever since I last posted. Well, 3 months to be more exact. We have been extremely busy, which is not really a good excuse, but it's all I have. So much has gone on and I have so many pictures to update that I decided to just do a few for right now because I am never going to be able to catch up. So these are pictures of us at the Lakeside Cabin. We went there a few weeks ago and had a blast. Except for the drive, and the fact that we all got sick, and that we almost died of smoke inhalation (we forgot to open the vent in the fireplace, and didnt realize for about 3 hours) but all in all it was really great. My sister Aubrey and her son Kyle came to AZ from ID for about 2 1/2 weeks, and we had so much fun! I will have to post pictures of them later, but for now I am going to bed. Good night!
