Everett was invited to a swim birthday party for a preschool friend
Letters to Santa
I want a barbie with a dog that can have babies and a leash please. I need snow for Christmas please. I'll wear a sweater please. I'll read a book about fairy's please. And I would really like you to bring me a toy baby with a crib and a real bottle.
Our Christmas movie the first Sunday of December
All decorated for Christmas and for the kids to find the next morning
Let the packages start arriving...even if I can't open my door. It's okay
Everett got the Quiet Independent Worker award
See that truck on the news? That's my dad's truck! There was a high speed chase in Ogden where he works and it ended with the guy running his car into the back of my dad's truck. There was some shooting involved, so my dad had to bend over in his seat. Such a scary thing, but thankfully he was safe!
Getting ready for the Christmas parties we are planning. These are the fun photo booth props
Just doing some bubble guppy reading
Love this dude
We signed Variah up for Ice Skating lessons at an outdoor ice rink in Herriman
She did free skate for the first 30 minutes and then lessons the last 30 minutes.
We watched her from the sidelines during the free skate then watched a movie in the car during her lessons.
All bundled up in a Christmas blanket

I could hear the kids playing in the bathroom so I checked on them and found this...the potty stool was turned over and filled with hair rollers. It was the manger filled with hay for the baby Jesus. They had the lights of so they could have the Star shining on where Jesus was going to be.
