Easton was asked to speak in our stake conference on December 2nd. Elder John N. Craig of the seventy was presiding. Easton spoke about following the covenant path and did an awesome job!
Happy, Happy Birthday to our Easton! Eleven years old and such a great boy! We love his and his silly ways. He got to play in a band concert on his birthday (welcome to a December birthday, buddy) and did a great job.
Brynlee loves to hold Sydnee and Sydnee loves to tolerate it.
Santa Letters 2018
The lighting is horrible in these pictures but I have to document what a good baby I have. She was in her car seat yesterday for six hours total in the car and at sibling holiday programs and just napped and was an angel. We love Sydnee and her happy demeanor.
We finished our first big puzzle as a family (neither Ronnie or I thought we were puzzle people and then stayed up way too late several nights working on it). The kids were no proud of it, we have to document it. #yesonepieceismissing
We had a great play date with friends last week before one of them moved (Elsa). Brynlee has already been asking to play at Keelee's house.
The older four kids got to ride the Holiday Express train a few weeks ago. Brynlee started out "hiding" from Santa and then ended up in his arms. They had a great time!
We got to visit with the real Santa on Saturday night at the ward party. The kids all did great this year! Not a crying one among them.
Merry Christmas from our loud and awesome crew! (This picture has me wondering how all my babies got so big!)
Hallee got trapped in Sydnee's walker and we had to document before we rescued her. Poor Hallee!
Bryn hanging the first ornament on the "breakable" tree this year. This happened a few weeks back, but I had to document.
We had a great Christmas Even. Had our Bethlehem dinner with the Elders and then acted out the nativity story. Brynlee was Mary, Daddy was Joseph and Sydnee was baby Jesus (obvs). Easton played the coveted Donkey role and mama, Devynee and Hallee were shepherds. Kendree was the Angel and our sweet Elders were our wisemen. Then, we loaded up to go look at lights!
Christmas as documented by Hallee. Not too shabby if I do say so. Two year olds are so funny, and frustrating as all get out.
A little sisterly scripture time (you can almost feel the "cheese" coming from Hallee), daddy and Sydnee cuddling during church and a picture of daddy drawn by Brynlee.
Easton earned his Webelos in October and his Arrow of Light just before his birthday. He has worked so hard and we are so proud of all he has done. Due to the new church age changes, he will bypass 11 year old scouts completely and be a member of the deacon's quorum and a scout in January!
2018 has been a great year! Excited to see what 2019 will bring! #2018bestnine
