Nikolaus Day

One day the girls and I went walking around Pier 1 Imports just for fun.  The girls found these cool masks and wanted to try them on.  Darling!

 While Tiff's kids were staying with us Nikolaus came.  The kids got a cute ornament, some treats and some little gifts from Omi.  It was a wonderful morning!

Skyhawk Singers performance

 The girls decided (after lots of words from dad and I :) to join their school choir, the Skyhawk Singers.  They started towards the end of the month school started, so Katelin was a bit not excited since they were singing Christmas songs! But as it got closer to Christmas she LOVED all of the songs and would come home telling us how beautiful all the songs sound.  She loved The first Noel and Kaiya loved the Christmas Cookies song.

 Katelin was asked to memorize a part to say before they sang the Love is Christmas song.  She had it down and did it easily.  We were so proud of her!

 They were asked to perform on the morning show of the Fox 13 channel.  They were excited to be on TV, it was so SO cute seeing them on there!!!

 There's Kaiya on the left!

 Their choir teachers, they are really great.  We are thankful for them.  They are so creative and fun.

BE KIND

burke's bday

I found this cool Nightmare before Christmas set for Burke at Gardner Village around Halloween time.  I was so excited to get it for him and save it for his birthday.  The kids were so excited too.  And he loved it, yay!

He wanted crab for his dinner....so of course he made it as usual.  Kaleb was super excited, it was like his bday too!  These boys and their interesting loves of food!

There was fun had by all.

The girls were singing a song from their performance for the skyhawk singers that was coming up and it was a round.  So they plugged their ears so they wouldn't get messed up by hearing the other part, hahaha!  It was so cute!

Arm wrestling time.

We were happy for the visit!  We love daddy Burke!  38 looks good on him!

Tree of Life

We heard of this place in Draper that they put tons of lights on this HUGE tree and called it the Tree of Life, from the Book of Mormon.  It was SOsoSO beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!  We had such a fun time walking around there and enjoying the lights.

Browning kids stay with us

Tiffand and Randy's kids came to stay with us at Omi's at the beginning of December.  They came to pick up the kids with me each day.  They were good sports and stopped every time I told them it was picture time...hahaha!  It was fun!  We had Nikolaus Day while they were here also.  They got fun ornaments and treats.

The girls hid and surprised Katelin and Kaiya.  They love their cousins!

They were so happy!!!

Everyone came over to party for Porter's bday.  Juli made these adorable Ninja Turtle cupcakes and Taffee sent me the idea of doing a flying zone for the kids.  It was a hit!  They had to make their own paper airplanes and then fly them through the circles.

Opening present time!

Katelin and Oakley read in bed.  They are too cute!

We went to the ward Christmas party, ate food, watched a program and the little girls wanted to see Santa.  Q came also, it was a fun night to spend with the cousins.

These two asked for Ipad's and Ipod's, hahaha!  When did kids stop asking for a doll?!
