Bye Bye Spencer....

After 6 months of having a teenager in our house we are down to just our three crazy chitlins. Spencer went back to live with his dad last weekend. This is a good thing although we feel a little out of sorts not having him here. No more early morning seminary(for Brandon anyway, Spencer you better still be going), Wed. evening scouts, wondering where the phone went and realizing Spencer is on it( I swear he's worse than a girl), checking up on Algebra homework to make sure it's done, having a live in babysitter (which I must admit was nice) or trying to figure out where the church dance is who is taking him. There are lots of things we will miss about Spencer but we hope he enjoyed his time at our house and hopefully even learned something. We were all such a blubbering mess I didn't think about taking any pictures so I put together some old pictures of Spence we took along the way. We love you Spencer and wish you the best. See you this weekend. (There is another church dance he just can't miss)

First Grade Christmas Party

I actually got to help with Colby class party this year.They had some fun activities for the kids to do and Colby's cool dad read a couple Christmas stories to the class. Way to go Brandon! Don't ya just love the elf hat?


Thank goodness I got a quick picture of the konga line that started in the classroom...

Sydnee's Christmas Party

The annual Christmas party at The Big Brown House Preschool! Sooooo fun! This year the kids did a gift exchange. Syd had her little friend Cooper and Cooper had Syd. That made it kind of fun. They got to make anddecorate a snowflake and decorate a picture from with a picture of their class in it.

I just wanted to share this way cute picture from I made for Specner for Christmas. We already gave it to him so it's ok to share. I had lots of people want to buy it from me but I had to say no because it was an orgional made just for him! I totally love how it turned out with and without the paper behind it.

Sulley Sibling Dinner

Now that all the Sulley kids live close to each other, have started a new holiday traditon. Every year at Christmas time we get together just the eight of us (NO KIDS)to have dinner. We decided to have a nice dinner at our house. We had chicken parmesan and fried ravioli. Very yummy!







After dinner we decided to play charades. Boys against girls of course and we kicked their butts! Girls brains just think totally differnt than boys. We had a great time and are totally looking forward to next year.

Reunion Ward Christmas Party

We had a great time at the ward Christmas party. We had a traditional Christmas dinner complete with turkey! Santa was there too! Man, that guy is everwhere. Olivia was too afraid to sit on his lap but did manage to shake his hand by the end of the night.

First Grade Christmas Concert

We had the honor of going to Colby Christmas Concert at Landmark. All those first graders were so cute and Colby looked so handsom. We had front row seats and got to go without the girls. That was the best part. Colby did a great job and his love for singing really shows.





Nice tensil Colby!
