Brayden's Christmas Program

Today Brayden had his Christmas program at school this morning! 

The kids wore their PJs and they were read a bedtime story in between songs

 Isn't he the cutest?!

Enjoying a cookie... or 2!

Our Christmas card

Merry Christmas from our family to Yours! 

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger. 

Luke 2:11-12

Gingerbread decorating

This past Saturday, we did our annual Gingerbread decorating at my Mom's friend's church

 Kylie's house on each side... 

My Mom's, Kylie's and Haylee's house

Mom made this cute collage to show the girls over the years decorating their Gingerbread houses since they were babies! {We missed 2009 as we were out of town}

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a very nice Thanksgiving! 

We first had lunch with Jacob's family.

Jacob's sisters, Nicole & Carolanne, his cousin, Shellie and his wife, ME! 

Then we headed to my parents' house for dinner

It was such a nice day!
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

Santa!

Sunday afternoon we went to MacAthur Mall to see Santa! They have a pretty cool display. The line didn't even look to be super long but we waited over an hour to see Santa!

We finally got into the Ice Palace where it snows. Kylie loves snow, whether it's real or not!

Brayden's 1st year he didn't cry!!! But we couldn't get him to smile :) Oh well!

After we got home, I let Kylie finish decorating the tree and putting on our "sentimental" ornaments.

Brayden got to put up one or two

Our family ornament for this year

Also our Elf on the Shelf, Rose Diamond, came back to us that night!

She was taking a marshmallow bath in the bathroom sink!

She also brought the kids ornaments with their names on them she made herself! ;)

 What an improvement!

Merry Christmas!!! 

P.S. Our Thanksgiving post will be up soon, as soon as I get a memory card from someone! ;)
