Isaac and Miah on Christmas Morning

The aftermath on Sunday morning.
Christmas Eve at the extended Syme family Christmas dinner we had a surprise guest. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids with Santa. They also got to see him at the Wilson Family Christmas party, but I forgot my camera that day!
JD surprised me by building some new shelves for my scrapbook stuff and giving me these beautiful calla lillies!
FYI: Some of you know that I have been having some health problems lately. I finally went to the doctor today. They did a biopsy of my uterus and took some blood for some tests. We will find out more on Jan. 24th
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We will be enjoying our friends and family and missing those who are away!
We went to Gardner Village to hunt for Elves. It was decorated really cute. The kids, especially Miah would get so excited when they found one. It was fun until the end when Isaac was running on the cobblestone sidewalk and did a header into it. He had a nice goose egg and bruise on his forehead. He also cut his lip and scratched the side of his nose.
We had a nice Thanksgiving with the Syme family this year. I forgot my camera, so I do not have any pictures. Oops!
We enjoyed dinner at Dave and Peggy's around 2. Then headed down to Jeff and Tiscia's to get ready for Black Friday shopping. JD even got in the action this year by going himself to Walmart at midnight. Tiscia and I were there at 5. We didn't return until after 11. It was fun, but I spend more than I meant to!

I've been wondering what I was going to do this year. For years I have been making my own Christmas cards, but this year I didn't know if I would have time. I know that we couldn't afford something I really loved and so I was excited to see this offer from Shutterfly!
My favorite Christmas Cards that I have sent were around 3 years ago when JD drew the pictures of Miah and Isaac. I printed their pictures on cardstock and used a circle punch to cut out their faces. I made the rest of the card with scrapbook supplies but they turned out so cute. I loved the design and the colors (of course since my favorite is maroon). I love that I could share my kid’s faces with everyone, not just the few family members that I could afford to give photos to. Shutterfly has some really cute stuff. I've only developed some pictures once from them, so I'm excited to try some new products.

We went to Gardner Village to see the Witches. It is always so fun to go there. We went with my Mom, Sister Michelle, and her kids.

We have been busy moving, so we haven't been up to much besides that. They had an open house at the local fire station here, so we decided to go. The kids had fun eating cookies and riding in firetrucks.
Yeah! We are moving!! We are getting into a three bedroom and 1.5 bath Townhouse! We are super excited! It will be stressful to get it all ready, but so worth it! We are hoping to be moved within about two weeks or so. We are going to paint this weekend. The carpet people will be scheduled next week and then we can get in. I will post pictures when we get in! The kitchen is even bigger than the one that I have now, which is big, so I'm excited!!
For change of address, it will be the same just change #12 to #17.
Here is a picture of Miah going to school this morning. I felt really bad that her first day of school pictures are not working because of a bad memory card. This is at least the outfit that she wore on the first day.

Isaac helping JD light my birthday candles.
Blowing out my birthday candles. If you are wondering why there is a 6 on there it is because JD put every candle on that he could find.I am so mad! Our memory card went weird on us and won't recognize my pictures. Now there is just a big question mark where the pics of Miah on her first day of first grade are gone! I'm so bummed. If anyone has had problems like this and fixed it somehow, let me know!
We went camping to Goblin Valley over the weekend with Jeff and Tiscia. It was FUN, but it was VERY HOT!
Things have been really busy for us this summer, so sorry for not updating too often. It seems like in the last month I have forgot my camera to more things than actually remembered! We have had fun at the Wilson Reunion (July 3-5) Funk cabin (July 9-11), Zach's Birthday and staying in Springville (July 17-18), Syme cabin(24th weekend), movies every week for the summer w/ Jenni and kids, Murphy Reunion (August 2), My cousins wedding and Goblin Valley.
