Random Christmas Pics

 Here are the kids ready for church for Christmas Sunday.

 Grace and I decorated the tree while peter was sleeping... Grace did it all by herself. We only decorated the top quarter. Peter is a sweet boy but a DESTROYER!! so Grace had a great time decorating...

 My little shopping buddy!

 We went on the train that is down our street and we also got to see Santa there!!

Such a fun season. SO many neat things to do and see. Hope everyone had  a wonderful holiday.

Christmas Morning

 This year was a different Christmas for our small family. We stayed in town since I was so pregnant. It was quiet and simple but a great day.

 Grace made me a few ornaments in preschool. She was so excited for me to open my gift. I loved them!

 opening stockings from Santa...

 Waiting to see what surprises were under the tree!

Christmas is a magical time of year. I am so blessed to live in a warm home with family I adore. Count your many blessings..

Polar Express

 This year Michael surprised us all with tickets to the Polar Express in Flagstaff. We had such a fun time. Michaels little brother Josh was able to be with us this year for Christmas as well. We love when Uncle josh comes with us anywhere!

We did not get the best pictures we were all freezing!!! The polar express was a neat experience and the crew does an amazing job. Cant wait to take the kids back in a few years.

Family Art Night

Grace goes to a elementary school for preschool. Last week that had FAMILY ART NIGHT. This was our first time going. IT WAS A BLAST!! They had diffrent stations where the kids could go from table to table and make a new masterpiece. 

 Paint Stamping, bubble wrap painting, Collage making, marshmallows and toothpicks building.

 Gracies favorite part was the pottery wheel. She made a cute little bowl.

SUCH a fun night.... It was neat to see so many families there supporting this event. Thank you Desert Sage Elementary our family just LOVED it!!

Halloween Festivities

We had a great halloween this year. Lots of fun family and friend time. 

Picking and carving of the pumpkins.

Grace wanted a costume change for her school party.... Hula Girl...
                                                
She goes to the BEST preschool. They had lots of fun activities for the kids.
                                               

                                     
This is probably my most favorite memory of this year. We have a neighbor a few blocks over that goes ALL OUT with the decorations and blow up figures in his front yard. Each night the kids would beg to walk or drive down and see the house. Michael and I would drive slow and sit outside the house for awhile while the kids soaked it all up!! It was a great Halloween Season. These two little blessings in our house make the holidays so fun!!
