December Shenanigans

Disclaimer: I did not do well taking pictures and documenting our Holiday fun this year, I will do better next year, but here is what I got and I am too lazy to put it in order!

Foster and Hazel usually have a great time together when it is just the two of them. We made Santa houses and then a gingerbread house together.

We had a family night at our house and had a yummy dinner thanks to my mom, and made gingerbread houses. 

For the Godderidge party each of the kids got a frame with this picture on one side and the following poem on the next, a great reminder of what Christmas is all about.

I had the opportunity to help my dad finish some barn windows from Grandma and Grandpas barn for my mom and her siblings. I wish I would have gotten a pic of them to show the finished product. However It was awesome going through old photos and reminiscing about the good old days. I miss them both dearly.

Brennen cut his hair without my permission!!

First Snowman of the season, he is still standing today, however the nose, eyes, scarf and hat have been removed and replaced with yellow dog pee. (champ likes to pee on him)

Ice Skating- he sucked but wanted to keep doing it

Our first sledding outing at the cabin.

Santa visits the Reese party- It went WELL!

 Round 1

 Round 2

I didn't even get a picture of Foster with any of his toys but Collins really loved her M&M's that were in her stocking. She also got a new wardrobe and a shopping cart.

When everyone else was playing at the cabin, Foster snuck the iPad and we discovered him in the "hiding out" watching it.

 He thinks he is pretty good looking in his shades

 MY husband is on a bus!

 Foster got a Ninja Turtle tent for Christmas and wanted to sleep in it. He did, at least until I moved him to his bed.

 Jingles brought us jammies Christmas eve, tried to snap a photo of them, got some photos but mostly turned out to be an epic fail!

 Foster loves sledding and he also loves Presley- we had fun celebrating her birthday up at the Cabin.

Family Pics & Birthday Month

We started off the month with a trip to the Jazz game as a family, big thanks to the coolest aunt and sister ever with the hookups- the kids did fine as long as they had something to eat.

Foster was obviously pretty thrilled!!

Just don't look at me in this pic cuz everybody else looks good!! 

Well we tried and we tried twice, we got a few, and by a few I mean seriously only a few turned out compared to the hundreds that were taken and deleted. So here goes...............

We attempted to get family pics when Chance and Treysen were here, Bayli took them and I attempted to edit them.

So two birthdays about a week apart a month before Christmas isn't the best. But we did our best to make each of there birthdays special.

Foster

3 years
loves to run jump play fight dance
eats okay but has become much pickier
his cousins are his best friends
loves to have books read to him
still sleeps in :) a few mornings it was almost 11 am before he woke!!!
likes Lego's



He has been into sunglasses lately, it was pitch black outside but he wanted to wear them in the car.

He loves to to puzzles.

 He loves Paw Patrol, Alvin and the chipmunks, and to my extreme disliking power rangers. I had to delete Netflix off my phone because he would steal and hide and try to watch it.

Collins

One

still short with a big head

loves to eat-nothing real healthy- we have to mix veggies with fruit

loves treats

knows who to ask to get them

points at what she wants

says more

says dad

started to walk, like really walk at 11 mths
likes to dance
finally doubled her birth weight

She wasn't so sure about the cake

She did love it when everyone was singing to her

She would only dip a finger in it

So I decided to cut her her own piece, and at that point there was not turning back, she picked the whole thing up and shoved it in.

She sneezed several times and we caught it in action.

She loves to sit in the cubby in the entertainment center.
