getting ready for Christmas

we finally decorated the tree on the 12th. We didn't put many decorations up since our house still isn't put together completly. But here are some pictures of the kids. My battery died so I didn't get many and they weren't all that great.

Prescott parade

this was our second year to go up to Prescott for their Christmas parade. It was a lot colder this year but we still had a blast!

We started out by decorating ginger bread men cookies.

Kevin and Laycee
Emma and Reagan were still hard at work after all the other kids were done!

Haylee, Emma, Tyler, Trent, Laycee

Reagan wouldn't leave Joe for a second!

Haylee and Emma

The largest gingerbread village in the world

My favorite house... it is the house from UP they were so creative

Emma found Mason just as we were finishing up

Lexi relaxing with the kids

Check out those great frosting jobs

Emma quickly started eating hers when she got to the car

Setting up at the parade. It was pretty cold this year

We had to wait a while for it to start but we got great seats.

Haylee is such a great older cousin to Emma

And of course you have to get Pizza I didn't get a picture of the adult pizza but it was BEAUTIFUL... Pesto chicken and artichokes, YUMMY!

Joe and I

Watching the parade

It was such a fun day we all went to dinner together and enjoyed the day with family.

ward christmas party

The ward party was a ton of fun it was Friday night and so Joe did not get home in time. There was a yummy dinner and then the kids sang songs. Emily, Jaxon and Troy came also since Brett was at work. It was fun talking to everyone in my new ward they are all so friendly!

Emma and her friend Kazlin (I probably spelled that wrong) waiting for Santa

Tyler thinks he was too big for his lap but he wasn't shy about telling him he wanted a bakugan 7 in 1 toy... Santa looked awfully confused I guess he doesn't keep up with the latest toys.

Emma asked for a ballet dress (a tutu, it took me about 2 days to finally convince her that a ballet dress was a tutu because she said a tutu was a train, she was confused with a choo choo)
Reagan just babbled about how Emma was her big sister and Tyler her big brother

Then they had cookies to decorate for the kids.

Tyler did a really nice job. I think he added a ton more candy after the picture

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving at Joe's parents place. Lexi and her kids were there too so my kids were so excited to play with cousins.

It was so beautiful outside we sent the kids out so we could eat in peace.

Tyler, Trent and Haylee

Reagan and Emma

After dinner was a short walk to the park

a little roll down the hill

And of course some sand angels

It was a great day and we have so much to be thankful for.
