Christmas Eve 2010 in Grantsville

We spent Christmas Eve with Trav's family this year. We started the night with delicious food and then watched a few short movies to remind us why we celebrate Christmas. After that Travis's uncle Mike made some marshmallow guns and the war began...

The shooters

She was determined to shoot Kaycee

Hallie and Cache shooting Kaycee

Gage walked around and ate the marshmallows every shot off of the floor...Yummy!

Opening presents

Austin and Kaycee

Awww..cute! My bro-in-law loves me! :)

Every year my Mother-in-law gets my kids jammies. Ky loved her "ruffle bum" and of course Gage loved his Buzz jammies. When he saw them he started taking his shirt off so I would put them on him.

By the end of the night he was sooo ready for bed!

Kylee and her best buddie Hannah

Most of the kids in their pj's.

Kylee's Christmas Programs

Kylee had two programs with her preschool. The first one was on Wednesday at the mall. Her teacher has a few different classes and most of the kids from all classes sang together. It was really cute. I couldn't get any good pictures of them singing because of the lighting.

One of her "best friends" Hannah came to watch her.
(Hannah is Trav's cousins daughter but we just call her a cousin)

Most of the kids before it started. Kylee is in the front row.

This is the best picture I could get. Too bad it was their eyes that were red and not their noses ;) It would have gone with the theme! (again Ky is in the front row 4th from the left)

My handsome monster. He enjoyed clapping when the songs were done.

Her program at the library was today. They had a special visitor at the end of it. :)

Mingling before it started

"Mele Kalikimaka" is Hawaii's way to say Merry Christmas to you.

Their special visitor!
Each kid got a present and got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.

I warned Santa that he would scream and I was right. Now I can show him what a stinker he was when he is older!

Her gift that Santa gave her.

I am so impressed with Mrs. Karen, Kylee's teacher. She does an excellent job with the kids and putting on these programs.

Thanksgiving...

This year we spent the day with my family. We had a great dinner and for some reason I didn't take pictures. That is not like me at all! I was enjoying listening to my step sister talk about her Black Friday shopping. They are hilarious! Here are a few that I got...

My sister Ashley came home this year so we had to get a sibling picture.

All I wanted was for a picture of the 4 of us. My husband, for some reason, has to make this stupid face EVERY time we take a picture. We got two that looked like this and then of course Gage wouldn't hold still to take another one! No lie..EVERY time we take a picture together!

Ky and her upside down buddie Parker

So cute!!

Ky and Easton...He is in love with Kylee! It's so stinkin cute!

Gage likes to take pictures with my camera and every now and then he gets a good one so I let him. This makes me laugh.

Ornery little boy! I took the camera away.

Brian and Travis.

Dax

Alisha and Hazard

I am so thankful for my families!

Bring on the snow...

Kylee loves playing in the snow and jumped at the opportunity to help her daddy shovel the driveway. Trav says he is just training her to take over his job!

Fall Time

I love a warm fall day when you can spend some time outside. I just thought some of these were cute pictures and wanted to post. The pictures were of two separate days if you can't tell by the kids outfits!

The two greatest joys of my life!!

I love this....

Helping daddy pick up the leaves....

Well sort of!

Kylee LOVES jumping off of anything to Travis. She sometimes pushes the limits of my comfort!

Gagey getting ready to jump...

or fall!

I love this one!

Fishing

We took the boat out one last time to go fishing. We went to Strawberry and it ended up getting pretty cold. We had a good time even though Travis and Kylee were the only ones to catch fish. Kylee's barbie fishing pole caught two of the fish and mine caught the other. Too bad I wasn't the one to catch it!

Extreme Cheese faces!

Silly boy

Kylee's silly hat

Trav was trying to get out of the wind

I love those chubby little hands!!
