Baby Blessings and Etc.....

Back to Utah for the Baby Blessings.  

I think this is one of the only shots where Evie didn't have her finger in her nose.  

 Miya's ready for some fun in the snow.

 She looked so cute sitting there on that little wall.......

.....until she fell off and did a face plant in the snow. 

 After the baby blessings we tried to get a family picture in the snow.  I think it was something like 10 degrees.  The kids were not happy and were crying......

 .... so we joined in.  

 Sweet Nora

Happy New Year!

Christmas 2013

 Miya wasn't too thrilled to be so close to Santa.  

 I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus.

 HO HO HO  Merry Christmas!

 When Miya opened this gift she said "Baby"...... to everyone's surprise.  Her parents were so proud and sad that they didn't have the camera rolling at the time.

 "Just Dancin"

 David HATES scrubbies.... I love that Santa gave him one anyway.

Thanksgiving

I guess my girls are trying to start a new tradition for Thanksgiving.  Last year we were in Hawaii for the birth of Ashley and David's little Miya....Mindy decided to one up them and have two babies in November this year.  Who will be increasing the size of our family next year?  It was a quick trip but so nice to be with Mindy's family this year.  We don't very often get to see them for Thanksgiving.  We had a lot of fun and food.  

The kids all got to make a personal pie of their choice.  They really got into this and did a good job.  I have to say though.... I was glad when we finished up this little activity.  

The next day was the day to decorate for Christmas.  It was so fun to be with the grandkids and see the excitement of decorating the tree and getting out all the decorations.  These are the things that I miss now that my kids are all grown up.

 Evie found the Baby Jesus and just wanted to hold him.
