Our Holidays

I'm way late posting this (partly due to a broken computer- blah), but we had a very busy and fun holiday season. Our Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years were all pretty busy and fun. It involved 2 trips to Utah and lots of time with our families. I don't want to make this super long, so we'll just get right to the pictures that show some highlights of the season!
We loved seeing some good friends from Ogden. Crazy what has changed since we met 5 years ago! (Next time we must get a pic with adults too!)
Thanksgiving Day run
Chris scored tickets to the MLS playoff game- super fun!
 Ward Christmas Party
 Chino Parade and Fair
Fun visit from Becky
LA Temple Lights
Making Christmas trees at a friend's house. (Notice Matthew in the back- he was so good and accomodating through all our season activities!)
This doesn't show our full nativity- just the important characters. :) Hailey and Christopher made a great Mary and Joseph and Brooklyn was a sweet little angel.
Blurry, but this was the sight on Christmas morning.
Brooklyn got nail polish and Chris put it on her right then and there
Sister time in Utah
 
 Bowling on New Year's Eve. I won't tell you who got the highest score. Ok fine, it was me. I got 143- wahoo! 

Cold but lovely Temple Square with Grandma
We got to travel in style- in the motor home!
The hair kind of matches how she acted on the drive!
 Next post will be more of an update on the kids.  Happy New Year to everybody! Thanks for making 2012 a great year!

I love the pictures of you and Christopher at the parade and Chris and Brooklyn with the nail polish!

Glad I got to see you a few times this past month.

That first picture of all the kids is cute...and they all look like aliens or something with their glowing eyes. haha. It's crazy that 5 years ago we didn't have any of them yet and now there are 11! I love the pictures of your kids in front of the temple. It was great to see you over Thanksgiving! Glad your holidays were so fun!

Brooklyn's pose in the first picture is hilarious. Your Santa this year wasn't as scary as last year. I'm glad you can see the chocolates on the piano while we're playing duets. Chris is such a great Dad and you're a great Mom. What a fun Holiday Season! I'm glad I got to see you so much!

Love the pictures. Especially the one with Brooklyn's hair. Oh and you definitely showed us up in bowling!
