Where Has This

Month Gone

I can't believe Christmas is in two days. I better get got up on the festvities before the big day. I really am kinda sad the holidays are over soon. This is what we have been up to since the last time I posted. Addie had a dance recital, it was really fun to see what she has learned. She was alittle shy at first but then she really got into it . Ky had a Christmas sing at school. He was so excited for that, they also have a breakfast with Santa he was even more excited for that. Last weekend we had a few family parties to attend to. Jade's grandma always does a Holy Dinner its always really fun. I didn't get to go but jade and the kids made it they had a great time, the bug jolly guy even stopped by. After that party we had my grandma Anderson's party. It was a little different this year. Grandpa passed away about a month ago so we missed him greatly. But we still had a great party. And agian the jolly man stopped by. I am not sure how many times you need to see him in a year. Sunday we went to the fireman family lunch sloppy joe's, chips and punch always good. Santa comes but we had to leave early to head up north for another party. But santa was nice an left them a gift anyway. Our final party was granna patten. We don't get together with all my cousins on that sidevery often, so it was to catch up. We had a very fun BUSY weekend. But it was worth it. We Hope Everyone As A Safe And Merry Christmas!!

grandma even got a gift from santa. She got a really pretty necklace. That had grandpa's pic in it. Like that didn't make us all cry.

Ky and Caliber I thought that was such a cute picture Beautiful Kids

I love Decorating For Christmas

I love making my house look so festive for the season. I love all my decor so I wanted to share it with you!!

Vegas

Last weekend Jade and I went to vegas with our good friends Josh and Kerri. To watch the NFR,we had a great time. It went by way to fast. But it was a nice get away.

I am not sure why jade has to be such a werido when it comes to geting pictures taken.

Josh and Kerri! Thanks for going with us.

Christmas fun!!!

On friday was our ward party. We had a very good dinner and then a Nativity program. Ky got to be an angel. He looked more like a mummybecause he wouldn't wear a sparkely halo. oh well! After the program the big jolly guy stopped by. The kids were super excited for that. Ky told him he wanted a piano. That was new. I don't know that santa will pull that one off this year.

I enjoy this time of year so much. I love all the decroations, the music and lights. I love that we get together with all of our family. I love that my kids ask me everyday if they can open a present everyday or they ask me a million times a day if it is christmas. But the older I get the more I am so greatful for the savior. And I try really hard to get my kids to understand the real meaning of christmas.

Thanksgiving and Then some

This year for Thanksgiving we spent it with my family. We had a great day just hanging out relaxing, playing games and just being together. It dosen't seem like we all get together alot so I really enjoyed it. My mom made and great dinner, we all ate way to much. But I think that is what you are suppose to do. Thanks mom and dad for the great day!
