Happy New Years

For New Years this year we were invited over to my friend Stacy's house for a night full of friends, food, Guitar Hero and plenty of noise makers. I think we made it until 10:00 PM. We received a phone call from my Grandma Pat who was watching Havyn telling us that she was screaming and Havyn telling her that her ears were hurting. We took both kids to the doctors the next day to find out that they both had double ear infections. The first of many this winter.

It is always good to hang out with friends who have known you forever. You can throw out quotes like "When today, some not a lot" or "The Hutch, every which way but loose" and the reaction is always going to be giggles, which leads to more inside jokes that our husbands will never and probably never want to get. I love having good friends new and old. Next year we will try making it until midnight.

Christmas in April - 3rd Christmas

I know its been four months, but better late than never!

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my mom and Bob. We enjoyed my favorite Christmas traditions. I am still a kid at heart and so we still do things the way we did them when I was little.

1. Christmas Slush - I think I ate 80% of it

2. Opening Up Christmas Eve Pajamas

3. Opening Up Brother/Sister/Cousin Gifts Christmas Eve

4. Decorating Christmas Cookies

I also loved being able to see Havyn's face when she opened her presents, it was priceless. This year Havyn really got into the true meaning of Christmas, but if you ask her right now she might say its about barbies and dinosaurs.

Thanks Mom & Bob For A Great Christmas.

Second Christmas

Christmas at Pops began with sledding. Fortunately Blanding got hit with some serious snow and fortunately for us my dad lives on a huge hill, perfect for sledding. Havyn wasn't into the whole sledding bit, one ride down the hill was enough for her.

She had to go inside and help Pops decorate his tree. She just couldn't understand why it wasn't decorated yet. Pops said he was waiting for her help.

Havyn loved her Cinderella dress.Krew was just happy, as always.

We love Pops! Thanks for the presents.By the end of it, Krew was plum tuckered.

First Christmas

Being the first of three Christmas present-opening sessions for Havyn and Krew, they began slowly, really trying to pace themselves. They made a killing, compliments from Grandma and Grandpa Saunders.

Whatcott Family Party

Every year we have a Christmas Party with Jack's mothers family. There is always great food, great people and fun games.

The best part of the night was when Jack's parents called from their mission in Africa and we all were able to speak with them.

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we traveled to Logan to have a feast provided by our own Marci Stewart. The table was exquisite, complete with our very own Pilgram place settings. The food was amazing from the perfectly cooked turkey to the individual pumpkin pies and the company was so-so. Just kidding the place settings were cute little pumpkins.
