Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our little family to yours!

Christmas Eve & Day

Christmas Eve with family is always wonderful. We spent the day playing games at the gym, eating pizza, playing minute to win it games, singing carols, performing our Christmas program and ending it with the very fun stockings from Grammy and Papa. Santa came to our house and left lots of awesome gifts- we are so blessed. Adam got a new scooter, Katie got an art desk, and Noah a kindle fire.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So much fun! We went to Visalia for Thanksgiving this year and had a great time. The kids loved all the usual favorites- swimming, cousins, scooters, and of course Grandpa and Grandma. Laura made a traditional Thanksgiving with all the fixings and it was delicious. Throw in a little Tokoyo Gardens and we were in heaven. We enjoyed the warmer weather there by going to the park and playing.

Night Out

This year we did something really fun with the kids. We took them each to a play at the children's theater in Seattle. It was fun to have a night just them and us and we love the plays, they are really well done. Adam saw "Danny, King of the Basement." He loved it. Katie saw "The Wizard of Oz"- super fun. Noah saw "Crash." We loved it so much we are doing it again this year.

All Dressed Up!

2 Creepers and a butterfly. Happy Halloween!

Well Done

My dad got released after 10 years of being an amazing stake president- and my mom being a super supportive wife. That is a steak cake made by Jenny for a job well done. Love my parents, they are truly awesome people and have always put serving the Lord first. They are such great examples to me and my whole family.

Eat Drink and Be Scary

October's in! Beautiful leaves, scary movies, pumpkin carving, pumpkin patches, fall baking, decorating, and getting ready for Halloween parties! We love it all.

Martsons

After our fun trip with Grandma we got to stay a few days and hang out with Steph and her kids. We even got to go to Sea World and loved it. We saw all the shows and rode some very fun rides. We had a great time- Katie loved playing with her cousins and I loved laughing and talking with my sister- like I always do!

Girl Trip!

Grandma took Katie on an amazing trip for her birthday! She got to go down to LA and stay in the Beverly Hills Hotel and go to the American Girl doll store with her doll Rebecca. She got to have Rebecca's hair done, her ear's pierced, and picked out some new clothes. She even got to pick out a matching outfit for her and Rebecca to wear. We had lunch in the restaurant and it was so fun. They had really cute food for kids and even a special seat for her doll- of course! Aunt Mandy came up to join in on the fun. Katie also got to walk the red carpet, swim in the fabulous pool, have cookies for room service and best of all- spend time with her Grandma who she loves so much. Thanks Grandma for the wonderful birthday!
