We had a great holiday break! I am sad that it all ends tomorrow. Christmas Eve we spent with Jason's family in Tooele. We had dinner and a small talent show. It was fun to see everyone. Christmas was really relaxing. We told the kids they couldn't get up until 7 am and they all slept until 7:30 am. Then we opened presents and just played, watched movies, and relaxed until 5 pm. Then we went to my parents for dinner and games. The rest of our holiday break we have just spent time with family and friends and stayed home.
Yesterday my friends from the ward gave me a baby shower. It was so fun. The hostess ( Marilynn) really knows how to throw a party! I received a ton of beautiful gifts! Thank you everyone that came!

Christmas

Jason gave Mallory this polar bear and her baby got a new outfit.

Jason and Jackson got boxing gloves and a punching bag for Christmas. Jackson gave me these stylin sunglasses.

Santa gave Whitney an ihome. Hopefully now she can wake herself up for school.

Devin got this lego castle. It only took him about 5 hours to put it together.

Grandma Zander sent scarfs and hats to the kids for Christmas.

Thanksgiving

We made blankets and quilts on Thanksgiving to donate to different charities. Isn't Kevin doing a wonderful job at quilting?

The kids even helped make the blankets.

Hello Mr. Snowman

It snowed yesterday and the boys have been loving it. They made this snowman today.

Whitney's Birthday Party

Whitney had her 11th birthday party last night. It was a pajama movie party and it was great because she planned everything! She made the invitations, passed them out, planned all of the activites, and planned all of the food and did all of the decorations! All I had to do was buy the food. It was great and I think the guests all had a good time! Older kids are wonderful!

Fall Fun!

The kids have had a blast playing football in the backyard with Jason this fall. I love looking out my kitchen window and seeing all of the beautiful leaves.

Halloween!

We grew all of these pumpkins in our garden this year. We carved some for FHE one night and then everyday after school Devin and Jackson carved a few more. They had a blast!

We had lots of fun this Halloween!
