Last weeks activities

Enjoy!!

Danny came over one night while I was at work and I guess Emmett loved playing with Kairi. He kept tickling her and making her laugh.


This was Emmett's way of "helping" Daddy shovel the sidewalk.


This is what Emmett looked like after he "helped" Dad outside. Standing in his favorite spot.


This is how Kingston "helped" clean up Emmett's snow mess he left from "helping" outside. Every time someone comes in with snow on their shoes he eats it. LOL!!


At Grama's house!! We went to spend Christmas with Marcus' family in Boise. Kingston was just checking out the toy room. He loved climbing on these chairs. He thought he was really something being so tall.


Grace's best friend when we are Grama Shanny's house. She loves Grampa's dog Maddy.


Cute picture of a dirty little face.


Kingston is taking after Grace and loves Maddy too. I don't know if the feeling is mutual yet though.


Me and Marcus went into town on Christmas Eve and the kids stayed behind and made sugar cookies with Grama.


Can you guess who this is? She looks so much like Kingston!! This is Lydia or Alydia as the kids call her. She is Tyler and Anna's baby.


Emmett talking on the phone to Santa. Grace patiently waiting her turn. "Santa" told us later that he was about to tell Emmett he wasn't going to get anything for Christmas if he didn't shut up!! LOL!! You cannot get this child to stop talking once he has started!


Emmett on Christmas Eve looking for Santa's sleigh.


The kids stockings before they got destroyed! haha Aren't the girls boots so cute?!


The kids patiently waiting to see what Santa has brought for them.


Grace with her new Hannah Montana sweatshirt. She got almost all Hannah Montana stuff this year. She was in Hannah Montana heaven!


Bel with her new Hannah Montana shirt. She got lots of Hannah Montana, High School Musical and dress up stuff.


Emmett got all sorts of superhero stuff and a lightening McQueen race track that he broke the second day he had it.



Kingston got a few baby toys. He didn't really need anything and already has a lot of baby toys from the other kids so this cash register was one of the presents from Santa. Hey mom, do you remember when Alex had one of these as a baby? I sure do!


Marcus' older brother Tyler and his wife Anna in their "Geek" shirts! haha


Some of the Grand kids opening their presents from Grama Shanny. She got the girls art sets, Emmett a truck pulling a trailer and 2 motorcycles and Kingston.........for some reason I am blank on what Kingston got, sorry.
Playing some family Rock Band on Christmas night.

And then after our extra long ride home because the roads were so bad, we had a surprise waiting for us!! There were 6 huge boxes (one for each of us) and a box of packaged deer meat for us at our front door! The kids were so excited and Grace said "we must have been extra good this year!!" . It was such a huge surprise. We are usually the ones on the giving end of things like this! I guess we are the "poor" family with the most kids in the ward now! haha We are assuming that our ward did it. If anyone that reads this knows who did this for us please thank them for us!! We thought our Christmas was OK without it, but this just put it over the top!! Thank you so much!!!
