Christmas for the rest of us

The kiddos in their CUTE MATCHING Pajamas. I know I only have a few years left (okay maybe not even one) until the kids won't let me match them. But they still thought it was okay this year. I love them in their matching pajamas.

The kids on Christmas morning got a new playground from mom and dad. We will put it up this next spring. It will be so much fun to have it in our huge backyard. Here the kids are seeing
the big black bag. Because it was so huge we had to leave it in the boxes. This black bag just had the slide in it.

Christmas Eve with their cousins. Here they are getting ready to open them up

Scott and Ashlyn doing their Christmas Eve duet. Ashlyn played the piano while Scott played the guitar. The rest of us sang.

Christmas for Ashlyn

Here's Ashlyn all ready for her Christmas morning. She had a wonderful Christmas and informed me that she got everything she wanted but her pet. She wants a dog, horse, or rabbit. Well she knew she wouldn't get it but she sure hoped she would
She loved the Holidays. We had a devotional everynight that she loved. She loves Christmas stories, parties, and family get togethers.
Ashlyn looks so grown up in her new dress. It even matches her little sister.
On Christmas Eve we always have a talent show at the Granges. Here she is clogging. She loves clogging. She also practiced hard and did a duet with her dad. She played the piano and he played the guitar. The rest of us sang.
One of the presents Ashlyn got on Christmas from her Grandma and Grandpa Grange.

Christmas Outfits

Here our my cute kids all in their outfits. It's hard to get four kids to look at you at the same time. But they were pretty good. These were taken on Christmas Eve before Church. We only had to go to Sacrament that day. After that we headed to the Granges for the Annual Christmas Eve night. We had the usual YUMMY food (appetizers of ALL kinds) and had the annual program.

Scott and Trey's Birthdays

Well the Month of December came and went. Just wanted to share a little bit about our month.
We first had a fun day celebrating Scott's 35th birthday. That's right 35. He had a fun day and enjoyed all his presents. He got a new suit and some new clothes plus a night out with the boys.
Well we also celebrated Treyson's birthday. He turned four and had a Scooby-Doo Party with all his friends. He had a pinata, yummy food and had lots of fun.

Here's Treyson with all his friends.

Happy Birthday Britton

Volleyball and Piano Recital

Ashlyn's Volleyball and Piano Recital
Ashlyn had her mid piano recital. She did a duet with her friend Amanda and a solo. She did a really good job.


This week Ashlyn had her very last Volleyball game. It's hillarious to watch 9 year old play volleyball but she did a WONDERFUL job and really enjoyed it. She had her three good friends on her team-the two Rachels and Amanda. It was a lot of fun for them.

A few more pictures of Ashlyn

ASHLYN'S PHOTO SHOOT
Okay, I know you've seen them but here are a few more of my cute Big girl. She wanted to do some posing. In most of the pictures I took she wouldn't smile. She said it was because Princesses don't smile in pictures. I told her I didn't care "Do it anyways." She had a fun time trick or treating this year with friends. It's always more fun to go with people that aren't all related. This was her first time to go with her friends.

What a cute familyBrielle eating a pumpkin???

Yes, I know we shouldn't feed our 10 month old a pumpkin. But hey she looked at the camera and that was hard in itself. For Hallowwen Brielle learned she LOVED suckers. In fact if she saw Treyson eating one she would scream and scream. She was such a cutie.

Our four children

Here are the kiddos right before Trick or Treating. They were excited to go and can't wait until next year. Ashlyn has already discussed with Grandma what she wants to be next year. Slow down Ashlyn we still have 12 months.

Brielle trying to get her hat off

I was able to grab a quick shot of Ashlyn and one of her friends Aspen right before the parade. Aren't they cute. Ashlyn loved Halloween and the party in her class. She plays with Aspen almost every day at school.
