Joy

This is what Joy looks like!

We were at Katie and Ken's Christmas party last week and as you can see we all had a ball.

Annual Baking Day

Katie had her annual baking day. It is always a fun tradition. This year I tried to make honey candy... I guess I needed to cook it a few more degrees. It tasted good, but oh was it gooey! Good thing everyone else made good treats so I could take something home! I did have success on my batch of toffee, and it was gone before I remembered to take a picture of it. If you ever want to get in good with Gavin just bring over some toffee and he will love you for life!

Kindergarten Christmas Program

Preston had his Christmas Program at school. What a treat it was to watch him perform the Polar Express! He did his part fabulous and even let his little sister sit by him back in his classroom. He is a great brother.

Ps Does that train car look familiar? Yep I saved it from last year! It took me awhile to make it last year, and in December time isn't something I have a lot of so, I recycled it! It worked perfect. I guess having two boys close did pay off in some ways.

Hope the next few days are Merry and Bright for everyone! It IS the best time of year!

Happy Birthday!

It's Gavin's Birthday today and I wanted to wish him a happy one! He is a great Dad and Husband. I know I don't tell him enough how much I appreciate him, but I do. I can't believe we have been married for 9 1/2 years. Last week we took the kids to the temple and as we were walking around the temple we realized that it was almost 10 years to the day that Gavin proposed to me there. On December 17, 1999 our lives change forever and what a awesome change it has been. I couldn't ask for a better partner to walk through life with. I don't know what I would do without him, he is my rock.

Gavin, I hope you have a great day! Happy Birthday!

Wishing You a Very Merry..
