Christmas 2011

Here are some pictures from Christmas day and Ethan's birthday.

Some of the boys presents . . .

Hello Sasha!

After opening our presents at home Christmas morning, we went up to Alta and spent the day with Brian's family. Ethan is opening his birthday and Christmas presents from Grandpa and Grandma.


Grant did love his Christmas present . . .

Lily was asleep while everyone was opening their presents, but later in the week, I got a picture of her relaxing with Grant.

We did celebrate Ethan's birthday, but didn't take pictures. There will be pictures from a friends birthday party that we had for him just recently.

Sasha's 3rd birthday

On the 18th of December, Sasha turned 3. I can't believe that she is already three. Where did the time go? A lot of our family came. It was so nice of you all to come, thank you!

Sasha blew out her candles all in one blow.

I love the look on Sasha's face. She was so sweet and thankful for her gifts.

She also liked the princess attire.


Happy Birthday little Sasha!

I have to tell you a funny story, to me anyway. The boys were wearing their "play" clothes, so I asked them to change into nicer clothes. After they changed, the came up wearing nice white dress shirts. I figured I did ask them to dress up in nicer shirts. Funny boys!

Lily at 6 months old

It looks like we had some little fingers touch the lens of our camera, so some of these pictures are blury. They are fun pictures of Lily though. Here is Lily at 6 months old, even though that was a month ago.

California

We celebrated Thanksgiving in California with Brian's family. It was so much fun! Julie, Jeff and their children were visiting from Utah. Diane was also there. We spent the Thanksgiving holiday with Melissa, Zac and Teagan, who were very gracious hosts. Me, Brian and the kids stayed in a hotel close by. It was so much fun and the kids LOVED playing with their cousins.
















Diane brought up the wonder blocks, which are always a lot of fun!

We even got to spend some time at the beach. It was a lot of fun! The boys loved playing in the water. It was a little cool, but they still had a blast!

Even Lily seemed to enjoy it. Actually, she had a hard time. She didn't sleep very well, which made everything not much fun for her. She does have a cute smile though . . .

I love this picture of our beautiful children . . .

Ethan wanted to be buried in the sand. Wish granted . . . Brian and Diane made him into a merman.

While we were down in California, we went to Disneyland. We spent a bit of time at the Lego store. Here are the kids with Lego Woody.

There was a beautiful Christmas tree just after the entrance to Disneyland.

We first rode the Dumbo ride. We could control if we went up or down. The kids loved that part.

The boys could get me to feeling a little sick. I may have had a turn or two.

It's a small world . . .

Diane and some of her grandchildren.

Sasha was able to see some of the Disney princesses. She's loved anything princess ever since.
