Christ: The Real Gift of Christmas

Christ: The Real Gift of Christmas
I saw this video on an LDS website and wanted to post it because it is such a cute video. Take a look at it, it really reminds us what Christmas is truly about and what we should be teaching our kids about Christmas. And I love President Monson's little statement at the end. So check it out!

Disney On Ice

On Friday night we took the kids to Disney on Ice and our neighbors and their family went also. They LOVED it, especially Reese. I was a little worried about her getting bored but she liked it more than Elle did I think. The whole night she was waiting for Tinkerbell to come out, but by the time she did at the end Reese was getting antsy and tired so she didn't even get to appreciate it. I loved the show also. I swear you could pay all your bills with what it costs to buy stuff at those things though. So we limited them to popcorn, a drink, and cotton candy, $20 later. They had a really cute pre show with Cinderella and Tiana and other princess dresses. The shows were Cars, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Tinkerbell, and Minnie, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. There is a bunch of pictures to follow, we got a little camera happy, as usual. And this is only a few of the pictures we took.

Posers

I swear, our kids are the biggest posers (or hams, whatever you want to call it). They are constantly asking me to take pictures of them. I guess I should be grateful, right. At least they don't run from the camera. These are just some random pictures of them setting up a little modeling shoot and getting all their things in order.

Thanksgiving

We went to Colorado Springs for Thanksgiving this year to spend it with Ryan'a sister's family and his parents were also in town. The kids had fun playing with their cousins and I had fun playing with their baby kitty, Snowflake. I love that cat, she would just climb up and cuddle in my lap. I had to get a snapshot of waht it is like after Thanksgiving dinner, hence Ryan sleeping on the couch. Except, oh wait, funny thing, that was BEFORE dinner. Yeah can we say LAZY? :)




On our way to Katie's house we made a pit stop at Garden of the Gods and got some family pictures. I was dying of heat because, go figure, it was like a heat wave that day. It was super sunny so we were all squinting, but you get what you get and you don't throw a fit, right?
