New Year's Eve!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

For new year's eve we went over to Brandon's Aunt Kandi's house, we ate dinner and were supposed to play the wii and cards, but Brandon ended up getting sick so we left at 9:30. Tanlie and Ellie Kate were having so much fun playing she came home with us to play for awhile. I let the kids go outside @ 10:00 to bring the new year in a little early(Brogan didn't even make it to 10:00). They blew noise makers, did confetti poppers, and their favorite was the silly string. Tanlie was tired and went to bed so me and Brylie stayed up to watch the ball drop on T.V. and then went to bed.

Christmas

On Christmas Eve we went over to Dallas and Mckell's house for dinner and a movie. The kids decorated cookies for Santa. We decieded to let the kids open presents from each other on Christmas eve, we figured they would appreciate them more, they also got to open their Christmas eve PJ's.

We spent Christmas day at home again this year. The kids were so excited to see what Santa had brought them. They all loved everything. Tanlie got a DS and a CD player. Brogan got a train table and a remote control dinosaur, and Brylie got twin dolls with bunk beds and a high chair. We had a great Christmas.

Brandon bought the kids a new saddle and hats. He also bought Brogan Chaps, boots, and a belt with a belt buckle. I think that this was Brogan's favorite over all the toys. He has to get dressed up like a "real coyboy" everyday.
The day after Christmas Ron, JoAnn, and Jonnie flew in to see the kids and ended up taking Tanlie and Brylie home with them. (Brogan wouldn't leave his mom). Since my car is broke down, and I wasn't too high on flying, I caught a ride to St. George with Brandon's Grandma Bev. Brandon was supposed to go on a hunting trip, but his friend ended up getting sick and they didn't go, so he came and got us earlier than we planed, but we still had a good time. On our way home Brandon thought we should surprise my mom and go to Panguitch for the night. We got to see everyone's Christmas and even though it was a quick visit we had fun.

I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas.

My Mom's Christmas Party

The weekend before Christmas we went to Panguitch for my mom's Christmas party. The kids had so much fun. My mom had tons of things for them to do. They got to make aprons, decorate cookies and stockings, go caroling on a hay ride, exchange Christmas presents, and just be with their cousins.

Santa came to visit and brought all the kids matching PJ's Brylie was too tired and missed out on Santa!

My mom's house is being remodeled so we all stayed with my aunt Colene. One night we couldn't find the three little girls, so I finally checked upstairs. Sure enough they had got in the closet and climbed in the shelves. They said they were tired and were going to sleep!

We also got to go over to spend some time with grandpa reg dog. The kids loved their Christmas presents, but most of all loved playing with all of their cousins.

Tanlie's School Christmas Program

Tanlie's school did Christmas around the world for their Christmas program this year. All the classes did different dances from around the world. Tanlie got to wear her new Christmas dress and did a good job dancing and singing.
