DJ

Dawson playing with one of his Christmas toys. He is totally into playing!We went out to dinner for Grandpa Ed's birthday and I couldn't resist taking some pictures in his cute hat!
He is our little sock monkey!
What a cutie!!!

Painting

I have a blank wall in my kitchen and haven't known what to put on it. So, for Christmas I bought all of the kids a canvas to paint on and then hang up. I really love how they turned out!

Dawson admiring his masterpiece~

What a talented little boy.

Maybe we have a Van Gogh on our hands?

So here is my wall now, with three original works of art!

Thank you Grandma Laura

Mom, can I read this?

This book is from Grandma Laura in California.
She sent it to you for Christmas.

It looks like a funny and good book!

She added a sweet message just for you in the front.

I LOVE to read!!

That was great book!
Thanks Grandma Laura!

It's about time

Here are some pictures from the Christmas season. Not in any particular order.

DJ found a small shovel at our aunt's house during a Christmas party. It was just his size, he loved carrying it everywhere.DJ drinking from his sippy cup.

Mommy and Dawson Jay

DJ got a piano for Christmas.

He enjoys it, we have a Beethoven in the making I think.

I LOVE this picture.
DJ is actually hitting Jason's face, but I love how both of their faces are all squished up!

DJ and Daddy. DJ has a bow from a Christmas present on his head.

No, we usually don't put a bow in his hair, but he makes a pretty cute little girl!

Happy 7th!

7 years ago today I was able to marry my best friend and sweetheart! I am so grateful that we were able to go to the temple. What wonderful memories I have of that special day, and so many amazing memories during the last 7 great years together.
I LOVE YOU JASON!

and of course, there has to be a kissing picture!

Christmas Party

We had a family Christmas party on December 3rd. We met up at my aunt's house to eat dinner and see Santa. My aunt set it up as Christmas around the world, so everyone was to bring a main dish and dessert from a different country around the world. It was fun to eat a variety of foods instead of the traditional Christmas food. It was also fun to see all my cousins, it has been awhile!
