Smile

Mom wanted me to take a picture of Griffin at her house today. This is how he felt about the situation. I think he was annoyed because before we came over here to Mom's I made him pose for pictures under our tree. Obviously he has had enough posing for one day.

Eventually we got him to crack a smile.

Late Night

Last night Ryan and I went to an Ugly Sweater Party at our friends house. It started at 8:00 and the little kids were already in bed, so we had our nephew Nathan come over and babysit. The kids were looking forward to it all week. They love their cousin Nathan so much. He is 19 and is leaving for his mission in January, and he is totally awesome.

When Ryan and I got home (sometime around 11) and this is how we found Jackson. He had fallen asleep sitting up, next to Nate. Sunny was barely awake laying on the other couch. They had such a great time with Nate. Thanks Nate.

p.s. Just so he doesn't feel left out, the kids also love their big cousin Jared. He is 16 and really fun also. He couldn't come last night, but the kids want him to come visit really soon.

Just two pictures from this week. Griffin got these jammies from Mimi and Bear and he loves them. He also loves this red bucket. He is cute.

The girls before church last week.

Christmas Party

Sunny wished for a pointer. (Like the kind her teacher uses)

Jackson wished for Pokey Park for Wii

Lila wished for "Princess stuff"

All of my sweeties. Griffin loved it...can't you tell.

This year the kids were lucky enough to get to go to two Christmas parties. Last night, Ryan and the big two went to our ward's party and talent show. They had a ball and loved seeing Santa. They are also extremely obsessed with tap dancing after watching a couple in our ward do a routine.

This morning we continued our yearly tradition of going to the breakfast at my parents ward. We were in this ward for 4 years and we love it. It is a great time to be able to see old friends and I'm always amazed at how much all my old primary kids have grown.

Guess What's Coming...

Disneyland Pictures!

I know, it's been 2 months since we went, but get ready because there are a lot of them!

1st Grade Christmas Program

Tonight was Sunny's Christmas program at her school. She was so excited. She has been waiting for tonight for awhile.

Here she is with her teacher Mrs. Simpson. We LOVE her. She is so great and I'm thrilled that Sunny ended up in her class. Sunny thinks she is the greatest thing ever!

Sunny and her friend Emery. Aren't they adorable? They were on the very bottom row, which meant we couldn't see Sunny...at all. Shhh, don't tell her that. I imagine that she was the best of all the kids!

Mimi held Lila up to see her big sis. She kept saying, "Yook, yook, I see Sunny." Of course she didn't, but she thought she did and that is all that matters to her.

Right when we got there Sunny found her teacher and she took Sunny to get her stuff and find her spot. I love the big boots with her jammies!

Facebook 2010

A collage facebook made of some of my statuses from the past year. It's small, hope you can read it. It's been a great year with some rough patches, but we've made it through. I'm definitely thankful for my friends and family. Especially my four sweet babies!
