I drove home to this today!! I ran in the house and made everyone walk down to the park so we could see it better! So gorgeous! This testifies of a living Heavenly Father who loves me so much! This doesn’t just happen!

I was able to help Tori’s classroom make gingerbread houses! I love helping out in her class. It is so fun to watch her.

She spent so much time trying to build it she didn’t have time to put candy on it. She didn’t even care though!

She had a great time!

Sometimes the writing on the wall says somebody it learning!!

It is hard to be mad at that!!

Tonight for our ward Christmas party we had A Walk To Bethlehem. Everyon dressed as they would if they lived when Jesus lived.

Each person got a small purse of money to buy their dinner from the different vendors.

The kids loved spending their own money!

We sat on the floor to eat.

I really had to talk Michael into wearing this outfit! As soon as I took a few pictures it was off for the night!!

Zoe, Michael and his bff!

The youth in our ward acted out the Nativty! It was the perfect end to an uplifting night!

We went over tonight to celebrate Cami’s 18th birthday and  Gabi’s 13th birthday! We always have a great time together!

Happy Birthday sweet girls!!

We got our Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving and finally found time tonight to decorate it! The kids have been waiting and waiting….

They all enjoyed looking at ornaments they had made when they were younger.

Michael loved the Harry Potter ornament we have!

Kalixta has a little buddies class with Tori. Their activity this week was a snowman ornament!

Just perfect for our tree!

Nik had his football tonight. The boys got all you can eat buffet at Hometown. After they filled up they handed out the awards!

Nik was named All Leauge Offense.

He also got the Offensive MVP award!

Nik finished the year with 29 catches for 404 yards, his longest being 75 yards and 3 touchdowns! He had 44 solo tackles and 13 assisted tackles. He had 3 interceptions for 152 yards and 2 touchdown. He caused 2 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles. He had 3 punts for 116 yards.

Michael went to sleep like this on the way home from picking everyone up for school! That orange tasted really good!

We had a great Thanksgiving with Adam’s family! My parents went to Utah for the week.

We started Wednesday night with Pie Night! A tradition we learned about from a friend! Since there is never room to really enjoy pie on Thanksgiving why not give it it’s own night!

I made this yummy banana cream pie!

An amazing chocolate pie! Seriously this one is to die for!

Tori helped me peel the apples for the apple pie! She had fun making little faces in them!

Michael helped me make rolls. They turned out so good. He really was a good help!

Adam injected and then deep fried the turkey! It was delicious!

Good food!

And great family! Perfect!

Tori and her team got to be in a small AYSO parade! It was small and cheesy but she loved it! She smiled and waved at everyone!

Love this cute team!

She also had her team soccer party at Chuck E Cheese! She had a blast running around with her teammates and playing games!

She was excited to get a trophy and her diamond!!
