Festival of Trees and Santa

We went to the Festival of Trees with Maria and her boys here are some pictures. We also have had a lot of sitting on Santa's lap. Here are all the pictures.

Jared with Santa

All the kids with Santa. Yes, Curtis is falling off.

Jared in the bubble. We tried to get Abby, but she popped it before we could get a picture.

All the kids at the festival of trees. Next year it will just be a girls night out. Too much for little kids.

All Jared wants from Santa is a candy cane. This is at our ward party.

Abby with Santa. She is taking her wish list very seriously.

The best Santa of all. It was at the mall. He had a big love seat to fit a bunch of kids and there were a lot of activities for the kids while they wait in line.

Thanksgiving

This year we were in Idaho. We had a weekend full of fun. The kids loved playing with their cousins. Jared really missed Idaho and the great outdoors. Curtis didn't sleep the whole weekend. Here are some pictures.

Here is the picture of the kids table. Curtis (my cousin), Marjia, and their two boys came. Becky, Brad, and Addison were there also. We had a large group.

Curtis ready and waiting for food.

Kassie, and Mark in the background rolling up his sleeves to dive in.

Family pictures

The grand kids. My dad had M & M's for all the kids that smiled. Jared was very into that. He is holding his hand out for more. Look at his fake smile.

Our family pictures. It was really cold outside.

Picture of Abby.
Another one of Abby. She is turning into a little model. Today she told me that she now has a picture smile. It is just for when she gets her pictures taken.
Jared and Papa on the tractor. This is his favorite activity when we go to Idaho. He could sit on the tractor all day.

Papa jumped off and Jared is driving the tractor by himself. We drive young in Idaho. The age of three is a good time to start.
Jared started to get really scared. He was worried he was going to hit Grandma's new tree.
Daddy and Curtis. I love this picture.

Thanks Becky for the great pictures.

Anniversary

I have so many post to catch up on. Sorry to do it all at once. I am afraid that if I take my time it wont happen.

In November Mark and I celebrated our 7th anniversary. It seems like we just got married. What can I say, time flies when your having fun. We went out to dinner and a movie the night before. The morning of we went to brunch. We took the kids with us. It was fun to celebrate as a family. Here are some pictures.

Sorry the pictures are bad. They are off my phone.
It pays to get reservations. There was a band and we were right by them. It entertained Abby and Jared forever. They decided to dance. I thought it was so cute. We had to take a picture.
