starting the holiday season

I haven't been very good about taking pictures this month with everything going on, but here's what we got...


Olivia painted this picture in her art class at school.






My sweet girls reading story books.





No, my kids don't like video games. What would make you think that?








Our turkey name tags for the Thanksgiving dinner table. Carter & Olivia LOVED making these!






Aaron caught me passed out after a night full of shopping after Thanksgiving.






Making snowflakes can get kind of messy. My kids loved this activity as well! Especially because they were used to decorate the gym for our ward Christmas party.





Decorating the gingerbread house.
(And Haylee in the background yelling "Candy. I want Candy!")





Carter was so proud of all the designs he could make with these little wooden shapes.




I took this picture for Diana...

Savannah wore this dress to our wedding reception 10 years ago!




This is how long I was on hold with Best Buy after they cancelled our HDTV order a week before Christmas. I won't go into details, but it was a stressful day trying to haggle a "black friday" deal on another tv.




Next year, I must remember that shopping online really is so much easier and really doesn't cost much more in the end. This was the UPS delivery we received yesterday.

Merry Christmas!
