Christmas Lights!

The other night we took the kids to see the city lights, they love going and seriously cannot get enough of it!  We may have to go again!

Christmas Cuties!!!

Here are my kids all dressed up in their church clothes warm, cozy, soft and lovable!!!  I just love this time of year!!!

Christmas Jammies!

I don't need to say I am a sucker for Christmas jammies because you already all know that! Here are my little kiddo's all dressed for bed, don't they look cute!?

 

Dorothy insisted I take a picture with her!!!

Red blooded battle!!

We had our annual "Holy war party!" it was a good time as always and we had a really great time!!  I have to say the best part was when the Utes won!!!

"bad chips" and "good chips!"

Kelly decided to make Violet a BYU fan!

 

That's OK because Sareya and Lillian decided to switch teams all on their own!

Elf on a Shelf!

We started a new tradition (which is so great I want to share it!)  We picked up The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition with Blue Eyed North Pole Pixie-Elf and my kids are OBSESSED!!!  It has the most darling story about the elf that reports to Santa each night if they have been naught or nice, then flies back and hides in a new place!!!  Here is our little elf the kids named Krinkle...

 

Here he is watching over the kids (the kids are not suppose to touch him or he will lose his magic!)

 

The cute book it comes with (here is to hoping that this little elf can keep Pressy out of trouble!)

Black Friday!

All I can say is I LOVE IT!!!  I can't wait till next year!!!

 Super Target at 3 something in the morning!

Should I admit we were not even done yet!?  Oh and we had two vans full!!

Thanksgiving!

"Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday....no costumes, no suitcases, no gifts, no basket grass and half-eaten marshmallow eggs, no flags to fly, no pageants to prepare. Just friends and family bowed together before Heavenly Father." - Katherine Wirthlin Cannon
