Merry Christmas

We hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you have a safe & Happy New Year

Growin up so fast!!

I can hardly believe how fast Ben is growing up! He wants to be involved with all the kids and act like a big boy.

December 23 he decided to get up on his knees and to rock. 6 months old already

He looks so tiny! Way too small to be wanting to crawl!

The Nutcracker Ballet

Grandma Barnes, Andrea, Taryn, Me, Emma, Olivia, and Brooklyn. Down in Provo at the Covey Arts Center. This was during interrmission. Emma loved it! She keeps saying that she is going to be Clara next year in the ballet. Grandma with all the grand-daughters. She gave them the ticket and dress for their Christmas present.

The boys hung out with Aunt Jenn at home. Jordan, Benjamin, Isaac, and Jeffrey

Me, Benjamin, Isaac, Emma, and Olivia

Dance Demonstration

Emma and Taryn doing ballet in their dance class

Their teacher, Miss Bobi, is so fun. She lets the girls dress up for a freestyle dance to help get wiggles out about halfway through the class. She has fun stuff for them to dance with, crowns, wands, teddy bears, feather fans, etc. The girls love it.

They had a little dance at the very end and this is them taking a bow

Happy 4th Birthday Emma!

I can hardly believe that little Emma is 4!!! Here are pictures taken from her Birthday party back on Dec. 4
Emmas doll cake that Grandma Barnes made for her- so darling!!

The girls had foam stickers that they decorated a take home bag with. They had a lot of fun seeing who could fit the most stuff on their bag

Emma was spoiled and had a blast opening lots of Birthday gifts

Writing to Santa

At the first of the month we went to South Towne Mall to Macys Department store to write a letter to santa and get it send off to the North Pole. After we finished that we did a little Christmas shopping and Emma rode the train with Taryn and Jeffrey. Perfect way to start off the Christmas season!
