Sitting on Santa's Lap

The kids got to see Santa today and Jack and Sam brought him their Christmas letters which were a great hit! None of my kids screamed this year, which is a first, so it was really fun! Merry Christmas everyone!

Jack's Christmas Letter to Santa

Jack has written a couple of letters to Santa this year, but I love this one!! Just don't tell him I posted it on our family blog - he would probably never forgive me!!!

Christmas Stockings

These are the two new additions to our stocking collection. No, you can't buy them, Auntie Katie was kind enough to spend many moons creating these beautiful stockings and the kids couldn't be happier. She only has one more to finish and then she's off the hook. Oh wait, I want a Christmas tree skirt to match.........that's not too much to ask right? Thanks Katie!

Sam's Thanksgiving Performance!

I finally figured out how to download videos so here are some performances from this year!!!!

Our new baby!

Meet Baby Girl Stanley (we haven't decided on a name). Although Sam refuses to believe that it's a girl and has decided to name 'him' Ian. This was taken in October I think. Due date still February 18th, although I'm praying it will come sooner!

Thanksgiving Fun

We had an eventful Thanksgiving! Sam helped me make turkey sugar cookies which were cut-outs of his own hand, to take to his Thanksgiving Feast at preschool. He did super awesome in his program! We missed everyone we didn't have the privilege of spending time with but we're sure thankful everyone is healthy, and for the time we have to spend with Brent this weekend!!!!

More Photo Shoot Photos

I'm biased, but I think these photos are so cute!

Halloween 2010

Halloween was super busy, but really fun this year! Friday night we went to the ward trunk-or-treat where the kids had a blast with their friends! Saturday we carved pumpkins and went to Marley Farms where the kids got to pet animals (including a zonkey), ride ponies, and Jack was brave enough to go through the haunted house with his dad!
