Christmas Eve Eve

A couple of families in our ward were our family this year. We had a great time playing games and eating WAY too much!
We played "I Never Ever Ever...." which is a new favorite from Aunt Liz.

We played Telephone Charades...

Michael's Birthday (my baby is 6!)

Michael likes nothing more than to dress up and BE a character. So for his birthday he got clone stuff.
It was the last day of school before winter break....sorry, CHRISTMAS break! So he thought it was pretty neat to have a party on his birthday.

Okay, so I forgot candles! I told him he needed to practice subtracting..8-2=6 which is how old he is. Michael just told us he was glad to be 82 and the oldest one in the house, so he could boss us around.

Thanksgiving in Utah!

Mom Janet treated us girls to lunch. We had a fabulous day shopping and gabbing, and maybe a little accident happened, but mum's the word!

No comment.

Jane and her best bud, Ally. They did not stop playing the entire time. I never saw Michael either. He was with his cousins, Jack, Ryan, Wil, Trygvy...

Bella and Madeline

Tommy and Jacob getting to know each other. They had a lot of fun playing ball.

Feeding the Triplets. Marianne and Dave are SO amazing with them.

Grandpa giving us the Thanksgiving Speech!

There are so few photos of Dave and I together... He's such a Hottie...

Dave and his big bro, Dan, who is really such a softie with the kids.

Are there any NORMAL photos of Michael ?

It's hard to get Jane to smile in photos. She is usually very blank, so even though, they aren't clear, they show her smiling.

It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas!

This is us playing some games at our ward Christmas party.
We had a fabulous Santa this year..... Jane and Michael were sick, so Bella did the honors!

Remember that photo of the orange tree....crazy how quickly it changes!

Swimming anyone?
