Starting with Christmas.....
We opted for a snow less Christmas and spent the break in St. George. My mom's 4-wheeler accident (read here) made it hard for her to leave her house in St. George so, rather than have her spend Christmas alone, we brought our chaos to her.
It was a wonderful, relaxing Christmas for us anyway:)
Girls making their way down to see what surprises await them.
Can't you tell how excited they are? Very long, sleepless night.
At least the boys were bright eyed and cheery smiles
Now this is a little better
Crisp new dollar bills found their way to decorate the tree
(There is only so much room for presents in a car with 6 people:)
My favorite present.....A jewelry box made by my amazing son, Sean.
Snuggies for the whole family from Grandma Llewelyn...ahhhh, we'll love watching movies with these.
A lot of time was passed by ALL, yes boys even took their turns, riding this wiggle car on the concrete basement floor.
Even more time was spent playing the new Rock Band and Guitar Hero
Um....Scot and I were really here, but how did I not get one single picture of us?
New 2010 goal - Get a few pictures of us:)
The next event that came around was Haili's 12th Birthday.
Let me say that again, 12th Birthday!
She is such a fun, smart, spunky girl and we are lucky to have her.
Rather than leave ANYONE out, she pretty much invited everyone on her dance team, and several girls from school to her Birthday party.
If you are a facebooker, you'll remember the craziness I put up with, alone....all for the love of this Girl! Scot, Emma, and the boys made plans to BE GONE.
Pizza and soda as the girls were arriving
Masses of hair bows and headbands were made
Zebra (Haili's fav) was definitely the theme for tonight
Pre-teens are really into their bedding items
Dad's homemade cheesecake...mmmmmmmm
On to the next event....Girls trip to Boise
My sister Jeni and I started a tradition last year of meeting in Boise for Bayli's Cheer competition. We make a weekend out of it, shopping, eating, laughing and just having fun together. This year Jeni was 8 months pregnant with baby #5, but we weren't going to let a little thing like that interrupt our girls retreat:)
Are we almost there?
This is just too much fun back here
Getting ready for her Cheer comp...Go IF Elite!!!!
Hanging in the Hotel room
