Christmas

Our Christmas started in Burley on the 22nd. That was the day that all of us could be there. We had a nice dinner, acted out the nativity, played games and opened some presents. On Sunday we all went to my parents ward and then took some pictures. Because of a storm coming in we left sooner than planned- but still had a great time.

Alan and Kyle are shepherds, Kenna is the angel, and Brooklyn is one of the sheep.

Wise Men- Burke, Emily and Becky

Joy School Christmas Program

Last night Kylie had her Christmas Program where she was the angel.  She was really shy and hid her face a lot, but still said her parts.  The mom in charge had her stand on the piano bench then climb down to talk to Mary and the Shepherds.   The other mom told me that during practice that she would jump off of the bench and it looked like she was flying- but when she saw everybody looking at her she got really shy and didn't do that.

THANKSGIVING
For Thanksgiving, we stayed here this year.  Warren's brothers and sister came and we spent a lot of time with them.  On Thanksgiving we went and had scones and then the boys went to play in the Turkey Bowl that Warren's friends have every year.  I took the kids over to watch, but it was really cold and hard to keep Daniel off the field so we didn't stay very long.  After football, it was movie/nap time.  I kept Daniel home for a nap while the rest of them went to Wreck it Ralph.  (We had taken the kids to it earlier in the month- so I still got to see it.)  After the movie/nap we all went and helped finish getting dinner ready.  We ate, cleaned up and watched football.  It was good to spend time with family.

(These are the only pics I have of Thanksgiving...)

WARREN'S BIRTHDAY

Warren's birthday was the next Thursday.  He changed his mind about what kind of cake he wanted, then decided that chex muddy buddies would be a great treat.  I made him a double batch of them.  I was going to put candles in them for him to blow out- but realized too late that I didn't have any candles.  His book that he wanted (and ordered) came a couple of days later.)  His parents were busy on his birthday so we also celebrated on Sunday, after the Christmas Devotional.  He opened presents, let the kids blow out his candles, and had cake.

DANIEL CHECK UP

On Warren's birthday he took Daniel to his well child check up.  Daniel weighs 27 pounds 12 ounces and is 33 and 3/4 inches tall.  He is in the 85 % for weight and 80 % for height.  He loves to play with cars and loves throwing balls.  He will lay down in his own bed at night and go to sleep, but still needs to be rocked to go to sleep for his nap. He talks a lot, but I don't understand most of what he says.  He loves to help me do chores around the house and loves to play with his sisters.

"Driving" Dad's car- one of his favorite things to do.   Shifting...

Turning on lights/ wipers...

Changing the radio station... He thinks that he is soo big!

Christmas Party

Last night we had our ward Christmas party.  The fed us dinner, Santa came and had a program.  It went a long and the kids were really tired when we got home.

 Kylie talking to Santa- She was little shy and not sure she wanted to talk to him...

 Kenna told him that she had been really good and that she wanted a doll house to share with her sister and a mermaid doll to go with it.

 Daniel just sat there and wouldn't look at him...
