Piano Recital

Oma Babsi & Grandma Bonham joined us this evening for Briggs & Reagan's first piano recital. They've only been taking lessons for about 4 months and they have learned so much. They both did so well. We are so proud of them.
Reagan played Jolly Old Saint Nicholas...

Briggs & Reagan played a duet...Jingle Bells...it was so great!!!

Briggs played Silent Night...

I think they enjoyed everyone clapping for them and bowing the most.
Thank you Oma & Gigi for coming out and spending this special evening with us! We love you!

Here Comes Santa Claus...

 

Eryn was so excited to go and visit Santa. She told him exactly what she wanted...a Wii. Pretty big Christmas present for such a cute little girl.

Zoo Lights...

We went to Zoo Lights tonight for Family Home Evening with lots of family and friends. We had a great time. It was chilly...a great night to bundle up and walk around to see the lights.

Christmas Time Well Spent...

It's been a while... We've been enjoying this time of year...our family's favorite. There's lots we've been up to so we thought we'd share all the fun things we've been doing...

On Friday night we took the kids to their elementary school where we got to ride a horse drawn carriage around our neighborhood. The kids were so excited. We looked at all of the neighborhood Christmas lights, sang Christmas Carols and when we got back to the school they had hot cocoa and cookies waiting for us. It was a cold night to be out but we loved it.




Growing up there were two times of the year that I loved dressing up for church....Christmastime and Easter. Now that I'm a mom and have little girls of my own, it's even more fun to dress them up. And they look a lot cuter too. Here are my girls all dressed up for church. Eryn picked out the skirt that she is wearing and was so excited to finally get to wear it. She likes to spin in it.



We spent last Saturday evening with our good friends, the Gazeley family, at the temple. This is one of the reasons I'm so very glad to live back in the valley. I really did miss seeing the lights at the Mesa Temple during Christmastime. It was fun to share it with our friends and the kids had so much fun!




Now, as you well know, the Holiday Season is not near over. We still have one more week until Christmas, then one more week after that until New Years. Much more Cheer to be had and Celebrating to do. We'll be heading out to Zoo Lights with family and friends tomorrow night for FHE, then baking and visiting and parties and lots of fun.. I'll try and keep posting. And, on the 26th is our scheduled ultrasound. Hopefully our little one is growing and healthy and we'll be able to find out...Boy? or Girl? What do you think???

Photo Shoot...

My lovely sister Kaci took our family pictures for us a couple weeks ago at the Scottsdale Park. It's so hard to get everyone to look good in one picture....so, that's what I'm asking Santa for this year. A really, really good photoshop program where I can easily transfer good smiling faces into one picture. Isn't Christmastime the best!
Here are a few good ones she was able to capture...

Me and My Sis

Like Father, Like Son! They both HATE getting their pictures taken, but they both were really good sports this year.

Me and My Girls....is it soo wrong to be so very jealous of one's beautiful daughters? I'm afraid it's only going to get worse!

My Briggsy Boy....so grown up!

Reagy Lee

This one out of a million pictures we had to take of this little pill to get one where she is actually looking at the camera. But, it was so worth it to get just one.
