Carly is now 2 and still attached to the bottle and a blanket. We hope to not have to send her to Kindergarten with it. She is such a fun loving girl and brings a ray of light into our home and everyones heart that knows her. Carly We love you, Happy Birthday!

Carly and Ammon had a blast playing on the toys at the Layton Mall.

The Birthday Party. Grandma Jack, Grandpa Tickle Monster and Grandma Snackama came to join the fun.


Opening the Presents.

Wow a new shirt!

Carly's favorite present which she picked out herself was her Elmo phone. She has a phone addiction, really.

Grandma and Carly talking on the phone. Carly has to have her phone and talk on it whenever anyone else in the house is on the phone. You should see her text, now that's funny!

Ice cream and cake, Yum Yum!

Kenley turned 7 Happy Birthday!!

Kenley wanted to have a friend Birthday party this year. Kenley and I decided we would have 8 girls there so we made up some invitations and passed them out. We bought enough of everything for a party of 8. Little did I know Kenley copied the invitations on her own and passed them out to the girls in her class at school. I started to receive phone calls from moms of little girls that were not on our list who all said their daughters would be there. A bit confused I asked Kenley what was going on. After Kenley fessed up to what she had done we just had to laugh about it. 11 girls ended up coming, we were really glad they all came. I have to admit it was a lot of fun. Silly Girl!! The party theme was Tinkerbell and fairy friends. Everyone came as their favorite fairy. We painted nails, glittered faces and hair, played follow Tinkerbell, and dance off. Kenley was thrilled.

Christmas Eve Family Fun!!

Just being silly!

Every year on Christmas eve the kids get new Christmas PJ's and they get to open the present they buy for each other. They really look forward to it. After we open their presents we sing a Christmas song, prepare Santa's treats and send them off to bed. It is one of my favorite celebrations.

This year the kids acted out the story of the birth of Christ for Shane and I. They were so cute they even used the princess tent as the inn. They had so much fun!

Christmas Sunday

The kids looked so cute in their Christmas outfits. Carly even wore another bow just for the occasion. It was such a special day and the spirit was definitely felt. I am so grateful for our Savior, He is the reason for the celebration.
