CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Here's some things that have made this december fun
leading up to Christmas...

FAMILY GATHERING
with Anderson cousins

MOM'S NEW BELLS
for playing Christmas songs
and primary singing time.

PAPER SNOWFLAKES
to decorate our house, tree,
and to give to neighbors & teachers.

SNOW & CROSS COUNTRY SKIIS!
Donny and Mollie have been having a blast
in their fields around the house.
The kids are hoping Santa brings them some to

HOLLAND'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

HOLLAND is constantly sucking her thumb
while pulling at her ear at the same time.

Holland walks around with this little green frog
her grandma gave her.
She's a cuddle bug.

Aunt Sophie continues to beautify our girls.
She sent up these hats on Holland's birthday.
The girls love them and have sold a few
for Sophie and given a few to friends.

OUR NEW WALKER IS PRACTICALLY RUNNING

Myriam finally pulled out both front teeth just in time to sing,
"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."
Uncle Mitch pulled out the first one just before thanksgiving.
It was hanging by a thread.
Cam, our neighbor next door, pulled out her second one
the day he got home from Thanksgiving break.
He's a dentist, so she trusts him I guess!
She dropped it on his carpet and couldn't find it.
so she left a note for the toothfairy telling him/her it was next door.
The next day the neighbor kids came running over with a dollar
they found on their floor!

2. MOLLIE'S EYES

This Thanksgiving Mollie gained gratitude for her eyes!
She accidently forgot her contact solution,
so she borrowed Levi's "Clean and Clear" Solution.
In the morning it burned her eye and made for a miserable day.
Luckily it healed after a day or two!

KNITTING

Myriam got us all into knitting Indian headbands.
These are our beautiful models!
They even made them for cousins and grandmas.

Crazy Hair Day

Our kids love crazy hair day at our school.
The girls did their own hair and Packer's hair.

Sick for Halloween

Most of our family was sick with the swine flu for Halloween.
Good thing the neighborhood had a party the week before while we were feeling good!
Hunter was a ghost that says "moo!"

Donny's Exercise Program

Donny's new exercise program this school year
has been to play with the kids after school
while mom cooks dinner.
They jump on the tramp, jumprope, play football, etc.
The neighborhood kids usually come out to join them.
His plan for the winter is to cross country ski with them.
What a deep feeling of love a wife has for her husband
as she watches him play with their children!

HOLLAND'S GOT A BOYFRIEND

We love our neighbors, and so do our kids!

HIKING THE "Y"

Donny is an obsessive BYU fan. We hiked the Y with his brothers and Mollie's sister on labor day. Our kids are always giving their dad sticks that look like Y's or painting him Y's and they love wearing BYU shirts with him on game day.

BACK TO SCHOOL

The three champion bike riders. These kids love going to school and mom loves having only two at home with her. That's when we grocery shop and nap!

The crazy parents- Opposites attract- Utes vs. BYU fans
We got together with our past next door neighbors last weekend.
Way fun to visit and let the kids run wild again together.

Aunts

This is at Sophie's baby shower. My girls love their aunt Sophie. I'm sure they will adore and love her baby girl just as she has loved them!

Aunt Sophie and Robyn have great talents for decorating Holland.

Aunt Haley prepared an awesome FHE lesson at snowbird about fighting in God's army. She even had an army lady come paint their faces and Haley played Spirit says - like Simon says. (Andrew played the role of Satan says)
