More random December 2014

While Grandpa Cali was here, we had him take some family pictures.  this was the final one we decided on for Christmas cards.

The girls found their "twirly" Christmas dresses and had a fun time.

Brynlee loved all of the extra attention.

Cute Kenny-girl.

A boy and his toys

While we were doing family pictures, I asked Ray to take a few individuals of the kids.  I loved how they turned out!

Some classic Kendree around the house:

Brynlee was sleeping on Daddy's lap one evening and making some pretty great faces.



Then some cute videos of her talking:

He came home acting "off" and just a few minutes later, I found him like this.  Sweet boy, hopefully a nap will do the trick.

We blessed this beauty today at church.  Such a wonderful day filled with family and friends.

Yesterday was a little crazier than I anticipated, so this is a day late, but this boy turned SEVEN! How that happened I will never know.  We are so glad he is in our family!

"Mom! Take a picture!"

You know you've caught a good one when he works until after 11pm and still makes time to make and hang up the traditional birthday signs for you. Including a list of 32 adjectives describing you that all start with "T"! I sure do love that guy! And I think this birthday will be one of the best ones yet.

Had a fun time bowling with Kendree's preschool. On a side note, an effective form of punishment would be running a lane of 5 kids 4 and under who are bowling "by myself"!

This Sunday before Christmas is one of my favorites. #soblessed

What I'm doing now: Fixed this little beauty (with the help of a father-in-law who actually knows what he is doing) and sipping on a DDP. Next up, dinner!

I fought the battle of the "heavy coat" and then didn't have anything left for the battle of the shoes. I hope everyone at the post office, tire store and grocery store enjoy them. #twoleftshoes

Happy New Year!

Cute baby girl. Hanging out on Mama's lap.

Bowling with Kendree's preschool class.

 All the kids in their Christmas finery for church.  I took 26 pictures and this is the ONLY one that turned out even remotely usable.

Christmas Festivities 2014

Our ward had "A Night in Bethlehem" for our ward party this year. I tried to get Easton to wear the fake beard from Grandma's dress ups, but he only obliged for this one picture.

 I'm not going to post all of the pictures of the event as they have people in them that I don't have permission to put on the internet, but these roman soldier costumes are too good to leave out.

Santa was in attendance before the beginning of the actual party and our little ones got a quick picture.

Also in December, we had Ronnie's work Christmas party.  Santa made an appearance there as well!

He did good by getting these LaLaLoopsy dolls for the girls

Brynlee slept through the entire evening!

The older three kids dropped off their letters to him at the party.

Kendree loves Daddy

Kendree worked very hard one night in December writing a song for daddy and then performed it for him.

This is a perfect look at her fun personality.

I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves for this post.  We had a wonderful Christmas morning!
