Andrew's Big Day

My little boy is a big boy now.  Where did the time go? Andrew turned twelve on Sunday and got the Aaronic priesthood.  It was definitely one of the best moments of my life. I'm so proud of my young man.

Andrew, Henry, Ethan and cousin Cody. Such handsome young men!

My little princess Claire with her new bob a-line haircut. 

Afterward, we celebrated his and my dad's birthday with home-made brownies! yummy!

Andrew is 12 and grandpa is 59.

Claire took some pics. with the camera and I found this gem among them.  

Sorry Devin, I guess it was a long day, eh?

Hip Hop Christmas dance by Ethan and Co.

Ethan has started taking Hip Hop dance classes.  He loves it and he is so good at it.  He has caught on really quickly.  He is a natural.  I'm glad he is fostering this talent.

I'm going to forgo my vanity and post this really unflattering picture of me

 to preserve the moment with my Ethan.

He is in the middle row, right in the middle.  (Sometimes behind a blond girl)

deck the halls

 We feel like legitimate home owners now that we have lights on our house for the first time.  I love it!

I also did a "vintage" popcorn garland for the tree.  The kids helped (neighborhood kids included).  And I think it adds a little charm to our tree.  Surprisingly, Henry has not bothered with the tree or the presents!  Knock on wood....

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

Ethan wore this when he was a baby and I'm so glad I kept it.

Henry was so cute in it.  It brought back so many memories.

Fun family trip to Vernal

We wanted to do something fun for fall break so we went to Vernal.

I think the kids favorite part was the hotel!!

 The wall of bones was my and Mike's favorite part.
