Sargers Very Own Christmas Tree

Sarger made his very own Christmas tree out of tinker toys.  I thought it was super cute and creative.

Walnut Babies

Every Christmas time we do a fun craft.  This year we made walnut babies.  I think they turned out so cute!  I invented them. =)

This one Piper made! =)

Christmas Movie Night

Every Christmas season we have a tradition to have a movie night with the projector.  We eat lots of junk food and well, ya know, the good stuff!  It was super fun this year.

Quincey being cheesy for the camera.

Look at the kids plates.  This was DINNER!  Hahaha......(Bet that's why Quincey looks so happy.)

Boston too.

Can I just say how much I love Christmas!  Who doesn't right, But I love it EXTRA lots!!!

The Girls Christmas Dance Recital

 The recital was WONDERFUL.  Truly a Mom's dream come true.  I was so proud of the girls.

 Gorgeous Piper.

Quincey's class.  It was awesome.

LOVE this picture!  So sweet!

Bell's Palsy Scare

In December Piper developed Bells Palsy.  She came up to me one night alarmed and said, "Mommy!  I can't smile!"  We were scared and worried.  Daddy gave her a blessing that calmed us down and then we went to the doctor the next day.  She was on medication.  After three weeks of waiting, it finally went away.  I am so grateful that she is better and that she has her beautiful smile back.  I love you little girl.  You were very brave through the whole thing.

2011 Nativity

 This year the Nativity went great.  The Young Single Adults of the stake played the parts and they were wonderful. I am grateful it all worked out.

Thanksgiving Trip BENTONVILLE and BRANSON!

 Bentonville, Arkansas art museum, Crystal Bridges.

Pea Ridge, Arkansas Civil War Site.

Silver Doller City

We rented a 15 passenger van for this trip.  It was great.  On the drive home some teenage girls were passing us and looking at us and laughing.  I was laughing at the fact that they were laughing at us! =D  Then Quincey said, (and she didn't think it was funny.) "They think we're FREAKS! Like we have 12 kids."  That made me laugh even harder.  It was great stuff, great times.  Love you Q.

Thanksgiving 2011

As usual, we did our Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday and then on Monday we left on vacation!  It was great. Especially with this center piece that Briggs and Sarger made.

Our Family 2011 Christmas Card Shoot

I like this one.

Daddy thought the creativity on this one was a little over the top. Hehehe.........

This was the one we chose.  It was photo shopped to look like we all squished behind this tree.  I liked it.
