Holiday Festivities



Christmas just wouldn't be the same without a few pictures with Santa.  Luckily, this year, he came to our ward party and it was easy to get the cute shots with him and my kids.

Santa even offered to take a picture with all 3 of my younger children.  He really does spread cheer!  :)

Even my older kids got in on the act, with their friends of course.  (Eric's in the green sweatshirt in front)

And Brandon.....who wouldn't smile, is the front right.

It was a fun night and there are more fun days and activities to be had.  Christmas is coming!!  Are you ready?

Kyle turns 9!

Kyle turned 9 on November 19th. He was so excited for his birthday to come. All week he kept asking if he could open his present early.....but the begging didn't work. He had to wait. Poor kid!

He got a Bakugan Arena, which was a ton bigger than I thought it was going to be. It "pops" out into a flat, round monstrosity. :) It's actually a pretty cool toy! (I might want one)....

His great friend, Spencer came over to play for a little while and he was in heaven. They had their millions of bakugans all over the arena, complete with a place for the cards and everything.

He also got a new "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book and a few silly bands. Birthdays just wouldn't be complete without a few of those.

I couldn't help but take this picture when he was asleep. This little guy is growing up, but he still hugs his teddy bear when he goes to bed. What a sweetheart!

We love you Kyle! Our family wouldn't be complete without you. We're glad you had a super-duper birthday!
