BLACK FRIDAY!!

This year I went black friday shopping with Charley's sisters to Park City. We met at 9pm Thanksgiving evening and headed to Park City. We arrived about 10:30pm and the shopping was on! We shopped until 4am in Park City than Kari and I headed to ShopKo for their super deals. We got in, got everything we wanted and out within about 30 min. It was so much fun except for when walking to the car quickly with all of my stuff my cart hit a huge dip in the parking lot and both my shins went crashing into the back of the cart. I seriously have some battle wounds from this years shopping, but it was worth it!! This picture is us planning our Black Friday agenda.

Christmas Time is HERE!

Decorating the Christmas tree is always so much fun. We have so many ornaments that we've collected over the years from Christmas stockings, vacations, gifts from others, etc. It's fun to pull them out and talk about the memories attached to the ornament. Of course half of them are usually broken and glued back together but that's part of the memories:) The kids especially love our Christmas train that circles the bottom of the Christmas tree. Ty especially love the gingerbread ornaments. He is even giving this one a kiss! We listened to Christmas music and the kids had a great time.

Ty Sleeping

One of Ty's common sleeping positions.

Buzz, Transformer, Power Ranger

Porter dresses up all the time. Whether it's a cowboy (which it usually is, we call him "Little Ricky" because he looks just like his Grandpa Sanders) or a power ranger or a pirate, he goes all out! This was his get up for what he called the buzz-transformer-power ranger weapon. He is just hilarious. We are never quite sure what he will come up with next.

The Nutcracker

Lately Katelyn has been asking to take "ballerina class". She loves to dress up in leotards and tutu's with ballerina slippers on. We decided to take her to the Nutcracker. We left the boys with Grandma Pittman and took her on a date. We thought she would be bored sick and fall asleep half way through but it was just the opposite. She was so cute and excited about it. She kept asking questions about the dancers like which one was the Sugar Plum Fairy and which one was the Ice Princess. She loved all the little kids that were in it and said "I want to be a ballerina so I can be on stage and do a dance for you and daddy". What a love! Needless to say I totally want to put her in ballet. So arrangements are under way. This is Charley holding his little Sugar Plum Fairy after the concert. What a fun date with our little sweetie!

Katelyn's Choir Concert

Katie had her first choir concert. Can you believe that? Kindergarten has choir concerts at the Charter School! We love it! She sang "Jingle Bells" and an Indian Song. They asked them to dress up as Indians for that song which is why Katie is wearing one of my old costumes. She looks like such a cutie. Bridger loves having her at his school. His concert will be next week. We are so proud.

Let it snow!

Bridger and Katie were so excited for the first snow! Well the first snow that you could actually build a snowman in. They did this snowman all by themselves. They used crayons for eyes and noes. Branches from the tree out front for the arms and an old scarf and hat. They were pretty proud! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!!

Ty is so funny!

Ty found this little doll pottie in Katelyn's room and he carries it around and sits on it. It is so funny because it is just a tiny little pottie. He is so funny, can't wait to see what he's gonna do next.
