Jingle Bells...

During the holidays...

Grandpa came and visited! Brock crept his way next to grandpa... And snuggled up:)

Elfy kept an eye on the kids!

And answered the 152 question Micah had for him about Santa and the North Pole!

We are lunch with the cousins!

We had visitors from California! So fun to see Stephanie and her kids!

We did a lot of cleaning getting ready for everyone to come!

^Brock joined the young men in singing at the ward Christmas program. It was darling. They asked for the young men/women to come up and he marched right up there and sang his heart out! Priceless!

We exploded cans of diet come in the freezer. Who has time for this?!

We opened present from gma gpa hyde! They are always so generous!

We took pictures before church, because we failed on Christmas cards this year!

^ This is the best we got!

Love these two!

She's my doll!

Halie got to wear her real pearls from her great grandma. She felt so special!

Hi Santa! Everywhere we went this holiday season Brock was obsessed with Santa. No matter if it was a picture if Santa, a Santa statue, or a Santa printed on a plate, we would stop and wave, and tell him that we were being nice to Macky and Brayden! Love this age!

Micah's Choir performance!

Micah is in the school choir this yearand he loves it! The practice early before a school every Tuesday and Thursday. I never. have to remind him, or beg him to go! He loves it and I am glad he's found something he enjoys and is awesome at!

Elfy/Santa is the best!

Christmas Jammie's for everyone.. Ruthie and Macky were at our house and while they were there we had a special knock on the door! Darling jams!!

Love him.

AHe makes me smile everyday. He is my little buddy. How can you not love this face! I was dying this morning because after getting ready to head out for errands Brock went and gathered every one of his favorite toys and insisted that he take them with us in his cute little raspy voice. I couldn't say no.

"I take dem wit us mom!"

While in line at the dollar store he went right up to this cute boy, and as close to his face as he could get kept saying.. What your name? The sweet boy didnt know English so Brock kept repeating over and over. .. What your name?! It was so funny!

Love that I get to spend my days with Brock.

Snow in St George!

In the 12 years I have lived here I have NEVER seen this much snow!! It is crazy how many days it snowed and how long the snow lasted! For over a month!! It was pretty though, and we tried to enjoy it!

But it made putting up Christmas lights impossible! So wreaths it is this year!

^ driving to Megan's! Took us over an hour. She lives 15 min away!

^our house... Aka the North Pole!

So pretty looking out to snow!

Came home to our neighbor Cale having a snowball fight with Micah!

The boys, wrecking havoc!

Baptism Preview

Thank goodness she is an October birthday so I have all year to prepare, but it scared me to think that this pretty little lady is already preparing to be baptized!

She was soooo excited to have a special date with jeff and I. She took it very seriously! I am so proud of her!

Love these two!

She sure is growing up!

All the girls turning 8 this year!

She paid attention the whole time! I just love this girl! Let the planning begin! It'll be an exciting year!

Decorating the trees!

Our first year in our new house! It was fun to have lots of space to decorate! Jeff especially loved that we had to have 3 trees! We got 2 real ones for the downstairs and one fake for the kids upstairs! It was festive everywhere you turned!!

Early Christmas Gift

My parents are the best and make everything so FUNNN. Because Christmas was in st George this year my mom decided to buy an early gift! A ping pong table on Black Friday! It is a tradition that we play during the holiday season! Here the guys are putting the 500 piece item together!
