Christmas

Thank you to The Chris Redford family.  We love the jeep!  The kids came home to it after we came home from Mom's.  It was like Christmas all over again.

Daniel had a blast driving it back and forth in the living room after all the other kids went to bed.

Daniel with his new laptop.  Thank you Grandma Copping.  He plays with it everyday.

Tanner's primary teacher gave him a Book of Mormon with his name on it.  He loved it and took it to church with him.

Sorry there are not more pictures but our camera was acting funny.  Everyone had a wonderful time playing with cousins and opening presents.  Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Christmas something wonderful.  A special thanks to Aunt Becky and Uncle Charlie for the Wii.  We use it every day.  Sometimes all day....Just kidding. But we do love it.

School Performance

Elwyn is in the front in purple PLs looking down.

Tanner is in the front in blue PJs.

This year the school did the Polar Express.  All the kids were really excited to go to school in their PJs.  They all sang really well and Elwyn spent the next few days singing around the house.

New Sunday Clothes

Thank you to Grandma Copping for the suit.  It was a hand me down from Tanner so the shirt was too small in the neck so he wore a vest instead of a tie.

Thank you to Grandma Nelson for the shirt, tie, and sweater.  They are wonderful.

Thank you to Grandma for the dress.

What would we do without Grandmas!  We love you all.

Tanner is 7!

Daniel loves cupcakes.

I got two coupons for free cakes.  So Tanner got to pick out two cakes at Bashes.  He picked a Santa cake and a Frosty the Snowman cake.

Happy Birthday!

It was funny having 6 girls and only 3 boys.

Tanner wanted pizza and salad for his birthday.  How funny is that?  (The salad part).  he wanted to play hang man for the game so played hangman with all his favorite things.  We are so great full for everyone who came.

So Tired

This is what happens when the baby doesn't have a nap.  He falls asleep during family movie time.  Yes that is a popcorn ball made by my Grandma Redford.  The best popcorn balls ever.

YeeHa

Best friends.

Tanner loves to play with his brother.

That is Daniel's camera smile.

Santa

All the primary kids sang a little program.

Elwyn was very excited to see Santa.

Even Tanner was excited.

We had to peel Daniel away from Santa.  He wouldn't stop talking to him.

I want to sing too.  Plus I am the cutest boy ever.

We went to a ward Christmas party.  The kids did a little program with a little nativity scene.  They did something a little different this year.  Instead of a dinner they had a breakfast.  It went really well.  They had this marvelous buttermilk syrup.  I made it for my family this morning and everyone loved it.  Then the kids got to see Santa.  Daniel kept cutting in line to see him.  Then when he got to sit on his lap he wouldn't stop talking to him.  It was really fun.
