Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Ive been meaning to get around to doing these posts (seperately) for too long now, but everytime I log in with intentions of doing just that, I start browsing through everyone elses' blogs, and all motivation escapes me!! So here is a really long most about a lot of events...

We had a wonderful thanksgiving at grandma honeys house, which was cool cuz grandma and grandpa Todd even came!



During the month of December we...

Put up and decorated our christmas tree


as well as hung our stockings that grandma Todd made for us

decorated a gingerbread house

had a fun family christmas party where we...
played christmas bingo.


made reindeer food to put out on the grass christmas eve for the reindeers

decorated foam christmas trees



decorated sugar cookies. Doesn't Tavin and Carsons' look yummy!?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Jaedyn enjoying hers!














And of course finished the evening gathered around grandpa for a reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas

 
Every year at christmas time, we want to take this same picture of the kids so we can see how they've grown ! -this is a real chore to get 8 little ones to all sit down and look at the camera at the same time! to see how they've grown since last year click on thanxgivin08


Also in December we went to the Christmas Carols @ the ESL, and afterwards walked around temple square to see the lights. It was extremely cold, so we warmed up with some hot chocolate. (sadly this is the best picture i have of that evening- mikey's not so much of a picture taker)

 
And of course CHRISTMAS DAY....

After opening all of the gifts Santa had brought, it was off to the Grandparents House for more Spoiling...

New Years was kinda early for us, we didn't actually make it awake through the new year, but nevertheless was very fun! We went over to Megans' house for some fondue!!! YUM!!!! that was a first for both me and Mike, and we were both very impressed!! Unfortunetly our kids don't do very well when they are tired so we had to make an early exit, but it was a wonderful evening with wonderful people, couldn't have asked for a better way to "start" the new year!!!
