After Christmas Fun!

Landon got this Lil' Quad for Christmas that
he loves. So does Savannah but they do a good
job sharing and Savannah likes to push him
around on it.

Landon riding his Quad

I had to put this one in here. Teagan insisted
I take a picture of his "first beard" as he called
it. He was so proud of his beard I couldn't
dissapoint him.

I just love this picture of Savannah. She is all
ready to go to church and I was so excited
because she did her own hair and I thought it
looked cute. Her older brothers still refuse to
do their own hair (the claim they don't know how,
but I think they just like the bedhead look),
so I had to enjoy the moment.

Christmastime

Oh, it already seems so long ago, but
this was just a few weeks ago, on
Christmas Eve. Here is Papa with
Caleb and Jacob. They go to "play Santa"
and hand out the gifts to everyone.

Christmas morning, I love this picture...yes, it's
blurry but I love seeing these two boys being so
happy and nice to one another.

Feel the love?.....I know Landon does. The big
kids had so much fun with him this Christmas.

Here they are "helping" him open one of his
presents. They were all really cute and sweet
and he was very excited.

Temple Lights

One of our favorite things to do each Christmas
season is go to see the Temple lights. Here is
Caleb, Jacob and Teagan in front of the visitors
center.

Tom and Jen enjoying the lights!

Landon loved looking at the lights and hopping
around. He had a great time especially once we
let the little guy out of his stoller.

Julie, Savannah, Grammy and Jeff (Were is Papa?)
He was somewhere around there, probably taken
a picture of the grandkids.

Thanksgiving - better late then never

Every other year we get to have dinner with
Tom's side of the family for Thanksgiving. His
Mom reserves the church builiding and everyone
brings a side dish while Tom and Sharon make
the turkey, ham, deserts and other side dishes.
We always have such a good time with all the kids
playing together. The enjoy being together as cousins.

Landon (20 mos.) and Tom
This year we had one long table that we all sat
at, it looked perfect until a nameless child (hint),
it was one of mine. Through a ball to his cousin
and the cousin missed and it hit the table. Not
just the table but smack into a full pitcher of water
and sent the water everywhere. It was a big mess
but the only one that was really upset was the one
who through the ball. The rest of us, just figured
it was bound to happen (since we were eating in the
gym and most of the grandchildren like to play sports).

Savannah had a great time too! Being surrounded
by boys and boy cousins doesn't seem to
slow her down to much.

Uncle Steve pushed most of the grandkids are
the gym on the underside of a table as they
were cleaning up. See this group can have fun
doing anything. (notice the large amount of boys).
Go Zoe and Morgan way to stick in there.
