Random December fun!

 Brylee and AJ played at the family history center, they both did great.  I actually played a duet with AJ.  Surprising I know. 

Ahh... tender moment

 AJ was the moose in her school play, the moose was one of the main characters.  She did great.

 SNOW!

 I made the girls a "tree house"
.  Fits over the table, pretty fun!

 I got a random FB that Kiwi Loco was doing a balloon drop with prizes, I grabbed AJ and we went and had a good time.  We won a couple free yogurts.  It is so fun to have her be big enough to do stuff like this.  It was all college students except us, ha ha.

 Jaylees favorite mess to make, one book just isn't enough! 

 AJ and Brylee's piano recital.  They did great.  And Santa came!

 

 Brylee and McKenna dressed up like twins on purpose.  I had them stand together and say "twinners".  Pretty soon Jaylee hopped in and yelled "winners".  It was so cute, she loves to copy her big sisters.

 Santa at the carousel! 

  Santa, candy canes, free carousel rides... what a fun time! Except Jaylee is not a Santa fan!

TaVaci Christmas Show.

The 3 older girls are in TaVaci now.  They all enjoy it.  This was McKennas first real performance and it was funny!  But I am proud she went on stage and stayed there.  They all did a great job. It is always a fun show to watch.  I love being back stage.

 Apparently McKennas belt was super interesting at this point, ha ha.

Brylee and AJ did a group part, but we didn't catch a pic of AJ.  They both did great.

Thanksgiving weekend...

We put up our tree!  I LOVE it! Brylee got to do the star this year.

 Rudolph!

 

 We had a wonderful, full and fun Thanksgiving weekend.  We had Thanksgiving at Brett and Susies new house.  Amazing house!  It was fun to visit with everyone, and the food was great.  

That Friday Bonnie got remarried to Ray Speters. We had a great time at the wedding but I don't have the pics from that yet.  She is so happy and that is what matters. 

Saturday we went and saw FROZEN!!!  We loved it! We all enjoyed it. 

 Later that night Blake and his family came for a visit.  We love them so much!  They are moving to Georgia and that will be sad but we hope to see them when they come to Utah to visit other family.  Our kids all get along so well, (except Eli and Brylee, not sure what went on there... lol).  But really we just love them.  And we also had another Thanksgiving meal, yummy!

 Yay Grandpa!

 A bunch of goof balls I tell ya....

 Cousin love!

We had a great mini vacation in Utah.  We saw so many loved ones.  We are truly so blessed to have the amazing families we have. 

When we got home the Christmas madness began!

Christmas Card pictures....

 Daddy and his girls...

 Angelynn had festival.  She rocked!  She scored a 99.  She is getting so good at the piano.  We are very proud of her.

 We went and took Christmas card pictures in the Icenter.  They turned out so well.  The girls are wearing maxi skirts that I made.  I am happy with how they turned out, they look so cute!

Our ONE good family photo.  After our experience we were so happy to have even one where everyone was looking forward!

 My beautiful girls!  I love being their mommy!

 Now for a taste of how it really went!

 I actually really like this one, I almost put it on the card but changed my mind.  Should have put it on the back or something just to be funny.

 

 

Apparently McKenna was bored at this point, lol...

 

All in all I think since we used a tripod and not a professional photographer to get the girls attention and help them smile we did pretty well! 

Merry Christmas!!!
