Crazy Livy!

Brandon caught these really cute pictures of Olivia. They just kind of speak for themselves!

FHE at Bass Pro Shop

For Family Home Evening a few weeks ago we decided to go to Santa's Workshop at Bass Pro Shop. We heard they had an amazing Workshop for Santa there and decided to check it out ourselves. We actually made it out of there without spending any money too. They give you a great free digital picture right away and have lots of other fun things for the kids to do for free too. They had the shooting range for the kids to practice shooting the pretend animals and even right a letter to Santa! Colby did a pretty good job of his first offical letter to Santa.

Run, run as fast as you can...

I just had to share this adorable Gingerbread man my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas. She is the most crafty person I know and can make some amazing things. I would have to put this at the top of the cute list of all the things she has made. Thanks Shauna, I love it!

Over the river and through the woods, to Grandma Greats house we go...

We have some friends in Grand Jct. who were blessing their baby on Sunday. Brandon decided to go over the mountain with the kids. I could not go due to a couple craft shows so I had to stay behind. That actually turned out to be good thing because of all the vinyl orders I had that I was able to get done in peace and quiet. Well, except for the music Spencer had playing upstairs. The kids had a great time, the jury is still out on how much fun Brandon had (its hard work being a single dad). It was a last minute trip so we decided to surprise Grandpa Great. He seemed pretty surprised from what I've been told. They were also able to see Nana and Papa and Aunt Amanda and the kids.




Storytime with Grandma Great... Sydnee will always listen to a story;

Pull Colby PULL!


Swinging around the pole... always a favorite at Grandma Greats house;

The stick people I made for Grandma Great for her birthday. Brandon put them on for her while he was there;
Pretty cute guys!

Trans Siberian Orchestra

OH MY GOSH! If you have never been to see them, make it a must do for next Christmas. They are AMAZING! Brandon suprised me with tickets to see them last night for my birthday. There are not enough words to describe how amzaing they are. Combining rock music with classic Christmas carols and lights and fire and lazers and I could go on and on. The stage is amazing and moves all over the place. We had a wonderful time and had an amazing Italian dinner before with our dear friends the Stocktons. Once again we had a great time with them. Thanks Brandon for such a fun and memorable birthday. Love Ya!

The count down is on...

After we put up the Christmas we made our annual paper chains for the kids to count down to Christmas. Olivia had no idea what we were making but had a good time anyway and Spencer seemed to think it was kind of lame up made one none the less... Colby and Syd always remember to take a piece off each morning when they wake up. How many days till Christmas...?

O, Christmas Tree, O, Christmas Tree

We actually got our Christmas tree up. Thank goodness. I was worried I was not going to have time to get it up in time to enjoy it for the season. We did it for FHE on Monday night and we wanted to wait for Spencer to get back from his dads house to help us. He volunteered to put up the Star. I said, Oh, thank goodness your here Spencer. Whatever would we have done without you or in years past how on earth did we get that star up there. He He! He enjoys being the tallest one in the house.
