Christmas Eve!

We left some great treats and a nice note for Santa and his reindeer!

Boxes...better than the gift!

Christmas Eve



This is a game we call the unwrapping game! Andy and I played it at our Christmas party, Abby played it at her party and Gma Connie played it with a lot of missionaries on P-day. Haley had heard all the talk of the unwrapping game and after our Christmas party she asked me, "So mom, how did the unwrapping game go?" She was so interested that I thought it'd be fun to play it with her. I wrapped a small box inside of a bigger box, inside of a bigger box until I had wrapped 6 boxes or so. In a little tin each person gets to roll the dice and try to get a designated number. If you get the number, it's your turn to put the oven mitts on and try to unwrap the presents! We put a $5 bill in the smallest box which is so hard to open, but oh so fun!

The Nutcracker!

Haley and I got to go on a date to see the Nutcracker Ballet and had a great time! She was not feeling very well this night and just sat quietly on my lap through the whole performance. Since seeing the ballet, Haley has wanted me to watch her perform her own ballet complete with costume, music, and applauding. Maybe she can try out a class this coming year! 


Christmas Trees!

One of the highlights of Thanksgiving was getting Christmas trees! Thanks for the fun memory!




Friends!



Lane and Cash had a lot of fun paling around!

Thanksgiving Time!

Haley got to make bread with Grandma Lorraine! 
Papa Dan was trying so hard to get them to smile... they just weren't getting it!
SOOO darn bright on those eyes but looking adorable!
Notice the rocks clenched in this boys hand. Wherever he goes there are rocks in his hands. When he figures out what pockets are for he'll use those to hold all his rocks!

October Idaho Trip

Haley is lucky to have a friend, Abi, right across the street from my parent's house. They played together while we visited!
Haley and Abi got into some makeup while they were "playing!" How old are these girls anyway?
