Brothers!

On Sunday we were able to attend church and visit with Justin and Kirsten. They had a great ward with interesting speakers followed by an excellent 5th Sunday discussion on emergency preparedness. After church we headed back to their house where the kids played, we ate and played games (the story of our lives :))!

We had to get some family pictures!

Cousins!

Both families

Justin & Kirsten (who looks great for being a week away from having a baby!)

Merry Christmas!

We told the kids that they couldn't get up until 7am on Christmas morning! They were up before that, but didn't come out until then. Santa brought them a basketball hoop!! We're excited to play some ball. We just need to set it up!

I found these hats for Bud, Emma and Mo :) I thought they were pretty funny/cute!

N8 got me a soda stream! I'm looking forward to making my own soda. Maybe this will help my curb my bad habit!

We also got the kids a tablet (to SHARE!!). So far they're loving it!

One of my favorite gifts was what Mo got Henry-a hot dog slicer~~

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve we hung around the house getting things done and then in the afternoon we finally put together our gingerbread train!

Then Henry and I made rolls (twice!! I forgot the yeast in the first batch)!

And then after a dinner of yummy tamales and going out to look at Christmas lights, we made cookies for Santa! Henry loved the sprinkles!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve...

This morning we took our annual Sunday before Christmas pictures! We got some good ones this year!

And of course we have to do a "CRAZY" picture!

Tonight N8 and Bud have the wonderful opportunity to be in our Stake's live Nativity. It is put on annually the weekend prior to Christmas and each year we love to go and experience the Nativity. This year N8 signed himself and Bud up (they need one boy who needs to be at least 10, he made it this year!!). N8 was asked to participate, but they already had the Shepherd boy. Unfortunately for the boy he got sick at church and Bud was asked if he could do it! It's cold and windy, so they're very bundled up under there! Our good friends Spencer and Megan got to be Joseph and Mary.

Henry was checking out the baby Jesus:

Santa came to Preschool!

Mo was lucky enough to have Santa come to preschool!! And Henry got to see him too!

School Christmas...

I love that our kids go to a school that celebrates Christmas! This year Emma's class sang Jingle Bells in Spanish. I would write the word in Spanish, but I'm sure I would spell it wrong, so I'm not going to!

She was very excited to sing and to see N8, Mo, Henry and myself sitting in the audience!

A gal at school that does the pictures for the yearbook, Bambi, took this awesome pic!
