4th of July 2012


The 4th started off with a pancake breakfast and hanging out at church. 
Later, Matthew bar-b-qued for us. 





After our little bar-b-que, we did a water balloon pinata and the slip-n-slide.

And we also joined the Kynastons for some swimming and fireworks.

Easter



This year we were home for Easter and looks like we got some eggs colored. 



We went to the Kynastons house for dinner on Sunday and did a BIG Easter egg hunt!

We must have been really good!

On Christmas morning the girls were very surprised!
 Aleah exclaimed,
 "Wow, we must have been REALLY good!" 
Here are a few pictures of unwrapping presents and stockings before church that morning.












We are so blessed to have a home and family and the luxury of buying gifts. And we are so blessed to know that our Savior came into this world to show us the way, to love us and to provide a way back. 
I love the excitement, warmth and love that is felt during this time of year.


P.S. Aleah lost her first tooth on Christmas day!

Christmas 2011



I know it'll soon be time for another Christmas post, but we couldn't just move on without documenting 2011's Christmas. So here's a few pictures to recap. 
The 23rd, Aunt Missy and our Perry family from Nebraska came to hang out and celebrate with us.
We had so much fun! Here Aunt Missy is blessing us with her wonderful piano skills and playing fun and festive music. It was so much fun the kids not only sang, but had to get up and shake it!




A little present time with the cousins.









The next day, Christmas Eve, before more family arrived, the kids made Christmas trees with ice cream cones, frosting and little candies.







Kids make the holidays so fulfilling and magical! I love all these kiddos!




The rest of the family is here!
I think cousin Jimmy might be a hit with the little girls:)






The tables are all set! Just a few minutes of chatting while we get the last few goodies out.










Enjoying lunch/dinner. We had way too much food! We had the traditional pasteles. meatballs, ham, some shrimp wrapped in bacon, green bean casserole......okay, really, I can't remember everything, but I know there was plenty more, plus desserts.
More importantly, we were able to celebrate our Savior by being together and sharing our time. 
I sure do love our family!
