Pretty Funny Face

For as long as Spencer and I have been married, him and Adam have been tossing this hat back and forth and for the past few years it has been given to each other at Christmas time.  It was our turn to give the hat to Adam and we decided to get creative this time around.  So I took these awesome pictures of Spencer, enlarged them and then printed them off.  We cut around them so just his face and shoulders were left.  Then we, very sneaky-like, went over to Adam's house while we were up in Idaho and taped them up in funny places.  One was hanging in the microwave, one peeking out from behind the milk, in Adam's sock drawer and at eye level above the toilet. We hid 8 of them in different places. 

When Adam went home that evening he laughed pretty hard as he found them.  So did we, so did we.

Christmas in Idaho

We made our way up to Idaho to have Christmas with Spencer's family.  We all got together for breakfast then opened presents.  

 We all got some great stuff.

 Jake lovin' on his gift from Grandma and Grandpa.

 The girls playing with there new toys and being silly - nothing new here.

We left around 6 and were blessed with the best present - Jake sleeping the whole way home. YAY!

Until next year!

Parson's Dance Company

Last night Mama, my mom, my little sister, Kate and I took a trip to Park City to go see a friend from High School dance with his dance company.  It was a girls night out. Spencer and my dad stayed home to watch Bree and Jake. Spencer had no desire to see some dancer, half of them male and in tights so there were no complaints when I asked him to watch the two youngest.

 Kate loved it!  She asked me if she could go dance on the stage with the dancers about a dozen times. Mama first comment about the show after it was over was how nice of bodies the male dancers had.  My mom and Nicole both got bored with how long some of the routines ran.  As for me, I enjoyed it just wished it was closer so we didn't have to make the long trip there and back in a snow storm.

 

After the show that lasted about an hour and a half Kate said to Nicole, "Hey NaNa, did you see those dancers?  They were awesome!"  We all laughed.

Peace and Quite

Bree needed to take her nap but was fighting so Kate went in to try and calm her down.  When I walked by their room I could hear Kate singing the songs "Popcorn Popping and I Love to See the Temple" (Bree's two favorites right now).  Then before I knew it there was peace and quite.  The house was silent  and still.  All 3 kiddos were sleeping at the same time.  A little peace of heaven is what I like to call it.  Heaven.

Kate's Kindergarden Christmas Program

This morning was the Kindergarden Christmas Program Where the kids sang and danced for us parents.  Jake, Bree and I went and had a wonderful time.

 Bree sitting and waiting so patiently.

After their program we wished Mrs. Dalton a Merry Christmas.  

 As we left the school Kate yells, "Christmas Break - No more school!  Party in the House tonight!"

Edgar the Elf is HERE!

Our Elf came and this time it's a he and his name is Edgar.  

Kate was super excited and has a perm-a-grin.  Bree's not sure what all the excitement is about but had no problem joining in all the fun.

1st Snow Fall

With just over an inch of snow Spencer took the girls to go plow with him.  

 They loved it!

 Kate took off to play in the snow as soon as the 4 wheeler stopped.

29

We celebrated my 29th birthday today even though my actual birthday is tomorrow.  Spencer and I went out to dinner then he took me shopping.  When we came back home we had cake and ice cream with my parents and Rachel and Anthony.  It was a great day!
