Sunday Best!

Almost every Sunday I think about taking pictures of my kids because they look so cute all dressed up!  Sometimes we actually get ready in for church in time for that to happen!

Thorson Christmas Party!

 We had a fun party with the Thorson Family!  We did the nativity.  No one was assigned parts so everyone could decide what they wanted to be.  We had two Mary's and no Joseph's.  We made Corbett fill in for Joseph.  He was a good sport but he initially didn't want to.  I can't blame him with Kennedy and Taylor facing off for the job of Mary!  We also played a lot of games and had dinner catered by Maddox!

 My mom has a new rule, only kids under 12 get pajamas now.  These are most of the kids that got matching PJs.  EVERYONE still gets a USU gameday shirt though.

 These are the babies in our family. I just thought this was a cute picture...

Christmas!!!!!!

We had such a fun Christmas!  I don't have a lot of pictures from December and honestly I struggled to get excited about this Christmas.  We did a few things like seeing some lights, making gingerbread houses and a chain and we had our annual lunch/dinner out with some friends, which is always one of my favorite days at Christmas.
We had our friends, the Grovers over on Christmas Eve.  The Grovers are like family to us!  Trisha brought stuff for sugar cookies and it was a blast!

Kennedy and Lexi...

Corbett tracking Santa!

The Grovers.  They are expecting twin girls in February!

Santa Claus came...

The kids waiting at the top of the stairs for the green light to go downstairs.  My mom always made us have curled hair before we could see what Santa brought.  I kept the tradition but Kennedy has NEVER had her hair curled so early in the morning before!

We also lined up oldest to youngest...

Kennedy and her doll...

This wasn't taken on Christmas but when I was little my mom made us twirly pajamas so I asked her to make Kennedy some.  She ended up making all the little granddaughters some.  Kennedy was in HEAVEN!!  Probably her favorite part of Christmas!

Santa Claus came to town!

 We have our own special Grandpa Claus!  A lot of years we get a very personal visit from the man in red!  This year they brought the kids elf pajamas so they could be helpers.  It's a lot of fun!  This year we had some cousins come to our house for the occasion!

Thanksgiving!

We had a fun Thanksgiving in Idaho Falls!  We spent it at Cody's parents' house.  The night before we all went out to Leo's place and let the kids play and then went to a movie.

Puppet Show

 Konrad has quite an imagination.  It didn't surprise me at all that he stacked up all the pillows he could find.  What did surprise me was when he turned it into a puppet show!  It was pretty cute.  I wish I could record all their little conversations and comments during the show and most days.  The twins are so fun together!

Fall at the Heritage Center

We love to spend a lot of time in the Fall at the Heritage Center.  They have a giant slide, a corn maze, tomahawks to throw, bb guns, a cow bounce house, and of course, pony rides and train rides.  This Fall we went several times.  We went with the Paces once, the Larkins once, and the {Grant} Thorsons and Sam and Payton once.  We also went a few times on our own.

This is the life...

In the caboose...

Konrad likes to strike "awesome" poses...
