Family night fun brought to you courtesy of this sweet gingerbread mini village. 5 kiddos, 5 houses. Perfect.
I love that I caught her kissing her house.
Fun shenanigans at the ward party this year. Santa, photo booth, "snowball" fight, nativity story, yummy food….
Waiting in line for Santa.
"Snowball" fight fun.
R and his pal Jade. He loves her.
These two.
The kids got to choose between an angel or stable animal for the primary's Nativity performance. Kaylee was an angel, Regan was a cow, and V was a zebra. The Primary President needed to know what the kids picked, and when I said the V wanted to be a zebra she was more than fine with it. Because why can't there be a zebra at the stable?
All the parents filming the kiddos.
Kaylee singing her lungs out.
Regan flipped out because he wanted to stand by his buddy Gillian and someone beat him to it. So he left the performance to pout about it for a while.
He got over it and joined everyone when they went on stage.
Her closing bow center stage at the end cracked us up.
It was a really fun night out with the kids.
We woke up opened presents, loaded the van and hit the road. We caravaned with the Day family. Wlkie talkies' are so fun!
Jon made me an awesome bath book holder, and got me goodies to go with it! Kaylee randomly asked to write Santa a wish list letter. Post shopping. I panicked. Her list: A wonder Woman doll, a Wonder Woman book, a purple dress.
When she was done I was SO happy. She was getting everything on her list. EXCEPT the purple dress. I told her that since she recently got a new purple dress Santa would surprise her with something. She was fine with that.Months ago Nicole gave me a bag of dresses for Kaylee to grow into. I put them in the back of the closet to save. Christmas miracle and answered prayers, and one thrilled and grateful little girl! She hugged her "new" dress for minutes, many minutes before deciding to open more gifts. These two got each other new action figures. I love this picture of them thanking each other. My new bath book board and ambience. Jon rocks! I made the kids new hooded towels. These things are massive. I used bath sheets, and love how they turned out.
The kids got Jon new pajama pants. And cookie sheets. French toast feast guarded by his many Batman figures. You can never have too many Batman figures.
Seven hours later we were finally in Utah opening more presents.
My parents love their grandchild growth ruler.
I miss my sister, and was SO happy to get to spend so much time with her.
Regan ended his long day in Lego heaven with his uncle Barry.
