Christmas Cookies

My Sister is the best & every year she makes a million cookies & then has my whole crazy family come over & decorate them. The kids look so forward to it. As I do too, it is so nice to not have to deal with the crazy mess it makes. Plus it helps that she makes the best sugar cookies. Then when we get home the boys pick out one cookie each & put it on a plate to save Santa! Thanks Kathy for doing this every year!!!

Snowman

The boys love to build snowmen & I like to wait until Korey gets home & then he can help the boys bulid them. This is the 1st one of the year! So cute:)

Sledding

Over Christmas break we went sledding a few times. I did remember the camera one time & snapped a few fun pictures of the boys & their cousins. We like this little hill close to our house. It is big enough to have fun but small enough that the little boys can climb up by themselves & the big boys can try out the snowboards! As fun as this was I am so ready for the snow to go away!!!

Choir Concert

At the kids school the 5th & 6th graders have a choir. "The Scera Park Singers". I went to school for 5th & 6th grade at Scera Park too & I was in it as well. Funny thing is, that the teacher is still the same teachers as when I was there. Crazy how things work. Well this year for the Christmas concert. McKay & his best friend Evan got to the narrators for the evening! I was so proud of my son!!! He did great:) Sad to think that next year he will be in Jr. High. I am glad he is getting to do so many fun things for his 6th grade year. So here are a few pictures from the evening. I think my favorite song is "Pablo the Reindeer".

Ginger Bread Houses

Every year we decorate ginger bread houses. The boys love it!!! This year it was so fun because the boys could actually decorate them by themselves. They had so much fun & got so creative with them. I love that my boys are growing up. I just wish it would not happen so fast!

I am lazy & just use graham crackers!

The work in progress!




I love how different they all are even though we used the same stuff to decorate.



I think it is great that Parker put Lego guys & super hero guys on his:)

I even got to make one of my own this year!

Temple Square Lights

Every year we look forward to going up to Salt Lake to Temple Square to see the lights. This year the boys were extra excited since the same day we were headed up there. Aunt Angie flew in from California and we meet her at the boys favorite place to eat and then her and Grandma Kathy went to see the lights with us. I was very excited to go this year. It is the first year we did not take a stroller and have to worry about a little baby being cold, wet, or hungry. I think this is the first year I really enjoyed the lights and everything. The boys were well behaved and all in all it was a great night!

We rode the "train" from the restruant to Temple Square

Fun family photos from the night!

McKay's Award

A while back I did a post on McKay and a photo project he did for school. Well come to find out he got a prize for his project and I was called and told to be sure and be at the school to see my son receive his prize. Good Job son we are so proud of you!!!
Sorry for the bad pictures I was all the way in the back and tried my best to get a good shot and these were them!


Here is his project!

Preston's 7th Birthday

My little man Preston turned 7 just a few days back. 7 years old are you kidding me? I swear it was last month that he was just my tiny little 5lb baby that we brought home from the hospital. Now he is 7!!! He is an awesome 7 year old at that. We could never imagine life without Preston. He is always a good source of entertainment. I love you buddy. This year for his Birthday he just wanted to have a family party at "Pirate Pizza Island". So that is what we did. Then after we came back to our house and had cake and ice cream. He was so excited because he got thirty dollars between different family members. He says he is saving it for something big. He does not know what that is at this time but I am sure when he thinks of something it will be great! I hope you had a great Birthday Preston!
