Getting hungry just thinking about them!

We had a fun evening putting together our traditional candy houses. Each girl picked a side of the castle to decorate while Dad and Tanner "supervised" (meaning ate lots of candy that really wouldn't look all that good on the house) and we were all pleased with our finished delectable masterpiece.

2009 Christmas Card Picture rejects

I don't know if it's really possible to get a good picture of 5 kids. We've tried. Really, we've tried. The best we can hope for is at least one where no one is actively crying or picking some body part. Anything better than that is pretty much a bonus...

Lights Aglow

We love going to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights, and this year had Uncle Ray along with us! The lights are, of course, amazing, and we had a fun time wandering through the nativities and displays throughout the area.

Good Ol' Santa Claus

You bet we believe in Santa Claus!

Did I tell you about the cake at Carter's birthday?

What a mess! What a boy!

Happy Birthday, Little Red!

Carter had a wonderful First Birthday Party! We celebrated with a firetruck birthday, complete with fireman games and activities and a firetruck birthday cake. Carter loved all the attention and had a fun time, showing off his walking skills and smiling for everyone that would look his way. Happy birthday, little Red!

Turkey Day!

We had a great Thanksgiving! We had lots of family come over and had a great time eating good food, playing games and visiting. It turned out to be a fun day for everyone.
