UNDER THE SEA PARTY

UNDER THE SEA PARTY


Channy was sooooo excited to have a birthday party. We went out last weekend to get all the supplies and she has been counting down the days. We had 9 guests, so the volume waS LOUD! The girls were very giggly. We had a sand castle competition, ate pizza, painted nails and wacked a pinata. I don't know what possessed me, but I decided to teach the girls how to sew. So, during the week I sewed together beach bags but left a few seams for them to sew. I found 2 cute fabrics and sewed them together so it could be reversible. They loved it! It was a hit, and now the rest of us are recovering. Happy birthday Chan, we love ya

Comings and Goings



Devon came home from school with these lovely spectacles. He just loved them and wore them ALL DAY LONG. He and Brooke have been avidly playing Lego Star Wars. I asked hime how long he thought he should be allowed to play each day, he replied, " three hours"! The other day we received some packages, and Dev and Brooke grabbed the boxes and headed outside. They came in just killing themselves laughing. They had drawn Han solo and Princess Leah on the outside, pretending that they had been carbon frozen like in the Movie......okay, they are playing far too long, I know!

HAPPY NEW YEARS

Between Christmas and New Years we enjoyed a lot of activity with family. My parents stayed until Friday, so we were lucky to get in the temple movie and lots of games. We have made so many treats.....its lucky we had passes for everyone to the gym so we could work some of it off. Brian and Cheryl were also in town so we were able to get together for some more family fun. We found a new activity, GEOCACHING. There is a great "mountain" trail south of the Brittners were 2 geocaches were hidden. We hiked up on New year eve day looking for the "treasure". It was a great hike for all, and we enjoyed great weather. Only 2 accidents....Natalie was attacked by a cactus while posing for Uncle Blake's picture, and Dev wiped out on a path....thankfully not close to any cactus. Luckily Michelle was prepared with anti itch and bandaids! We also had a fun time bringing in the new year with our family. I think the kids played lego star wars for 4 straight hours that night!!!

A Merry Christmas
