Minature Polar Express

I forgot to post about this cool thing we did out in Lindon.  One of my friends I play ball with has this train ride they do out in her neighborhood.  She was kind enough to invite us to participate.  It was really fun!

 

 

 After a short train ride we stopped at the north pole

 Met some cute elves

 

 Got back on the train, and had a refreshing ride filled with pictures of the Saviors life on earth

Kids also got to write to some missionaries that are serving.

 

 

 That was awesome!  Thanks Candice.

A Christmas Carol by Mrs. Hill's 4th grade class

Max's 4th grade class had fun this year practicing and performing Disney's "A Christmas Carol."  Max played the part of the Ghost of Christmas future.  Check it out

Here's Max's part.  Which by the way, he thought it was amazing that he got to be the grim reaper. Go figure.

Good job Dude!

At the end of the play the whole class sang accompanied by some of the girls in their class.

Awesome!

The primary Nativity

Our ward Christmas party is always fun.  Food, music, Santa, the whole 9 yards.  Kids had a good time, and Joseph was a pretty cute sheep if you ask me.

Here's Joe and a few of his other sheep friends

Here you can see Max in the brown cloak as Joseph, Isabel is behind Mary, she was an angel (as is she always), and Joe is front and center.

Here's one of their songs (one of my favorite in fact)

After the program the kids got to sit with Santa for a moment

Wonderful evening!

Grandpa's work party

Last weekend my dad drove up for his work's Christmas party.  He was kind enough to stop by and bring us with him.

The kids were in heaven, and I have to admit, I had an amazing time as well.  We got to bowl, eat, and even get our faces painted.

 

Pops even got to stay for our Ward Christmas party to see the kids in the Nativity.  Thank you Papa for letting us have all that fun with you.  We love you!!!

Families are Forever

This summer while in Calif. we had some photo's taken up at the Oakland Temple.

I love my family!

 

Thank you Blackwells for getting us all together to take some wonderful family pictures!

Families are Forever!

Thanksgiving recap

Kind of forgot to post about Thanksgiving.

We went down to New Harmony to spend a few days with family.

Thanksgiving day we spent at my Uncle Stevens house with his family and ours.  It was wonderful food and lots of fun.  This is my Uncle Steven cutting the Turkey:

 This is the Turkey:

 Friday we went up into the mountains to get a Christmas Tree.  This is Mavis and Stan's van hauling home 2 trees.  It was the funniest thing.

 We got to spend some time with cousins watching Arthur Christmas.  Super cute movie!

Looks like we had a pretty good time, considering Max slept the whole way home.

  

We love spending time with family, makes the holiday's that much more enjoyable!

Isabel's program

Isabel had a wonderful little program today.  Just wanted to post a little video.

Love you beautiful girl!
