Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We will be enjoying our friends and family and missing those who are away!

Temple Square

Hunting For Elves

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 just had our pictures done on Saturday. Here are some of my favorites!

Thanksgiving

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 the BooNanaza at the Aquatic Center again this year. Our friends Tiscia, Nathan and Zach joined up this year. Thanks guy! Hope you had as much fun as we did (well except for Zach crying and Miah getting a black eye!)
