Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas! We had a nice, mostly leisure day.Corbin took a little time to figure out the unwrapping of the gifts but when the girls got excited he would get excited too.

K very excited about having a book light.

One of the presents at the top of her list!

C a little bit reluctant giving up his bottle to work on his presents.

I love the cheesy smile that matches Chuck.

My favorite picture of the day! And about the only one where he actually kept his hat on for 2 seconds.

The girls would spend hours playing with legos at my parent's house. I love their creativity!

This kid loves to draw! And what better way to color than in a new USU chair!

Christmas Calendar 2013

This is about as creative as I get . . . I am glad it only comes around once a year!

Ballroom Dance

Kaitlyn started taking ballroom dance at her school. They were able to go to the festival of trees to perform. For some reason my videos won't download so I guess you will just have to take my word on how well they did :) I am so proud of Kaitlyn for the hard work she has been putting into this.

She looks so different with make-up on! She is growing up too fast!

Thanksgiving 2013

This year we got invited to my Aunt and Uncle's lodge by Fairfield Idaho. Every year their family comes up with an exciting new adventure to play around with while all the siblings and cousins get together. This year we thoroughly enjoyed the year of the bowling ball canon!

They ended up breaking many of the bowling balls into pieces

My Grandpa, Dad and his sisters

I had a really enjoyable time with my family. I love how they work together and play together. My favorite part was seeing how much my Grandpa enjoyed having Corbin sit by him and jabber to him. My Grandpa's face would just light up whenever Corbin was near.

Tea Party

For Kaitlyn's birthday I wanted something easy and fun because it came during a really crazy time. The compromise was a tea party. I surprised the girls by setting up the playroom for the ultimate experience. You can't have a tea party without dressing up for the occasion and gorging yourself with cookies, pastries and hot apple cider.

And what better way to end the night than with music, a black light and a strobe light to dance the night away!
