We always have such a wonderful time at our Ward parties. We have so many fun families that we love to visit with and we have great food! My kids look forward to the Christmas party every year, they enjoy trying to spy on Santa before he comes into the gym and then of course they enjoy sitting on his lap and getting a bag of treats! They were hoping the Grinch would make an appearance again this year, but I tried to explain to them that more then likely that would not happen. Olivia was excited to see Santa, until he actually came into the gym and then she wasn't too sure. Whitney told her she would go with her to see him so Olivia agreed to go in the line. Once Whitney sat her on his lap and she realized that she was sitting on his lap, she had a complete melt down! Thanks Whitney for trying, maybe next year!
Waiting for their turn to sit on Santa's lap
Sorry it is blurry it was done with a phone camera. But you get the idea of what happened!
The Sunbeam class sang a song for the Talent Show. They had their little noses red with little Reindeer antlers on. Well Olivia really wanted to look like her friend Emma, so we ended up coloring her nose red as well!

Marcus
Marcus is 8 years old! He is just about ending his 2nd grade year. He has done so well growing and learning new things this past year. Marcus is also a Boy Scout, we have been working so hard at passing off all of his awards so he can recieve his "Wolf" badage. I love his go get'em personality, it helps him to excel in school and strive to be the best he can at sports. He is enjoying all sports, at this time his lovesare baseball and basketball. Marcus is a great kid, loving life to its fullest! We are so proud of our Marco man!
Alec
Our Alec Mason is 6 years old and going into 1st grade. It is hard for me to think of him being old and big enough to be in school all day! Alec is a great, tender hearted kid who has not eased up on his stubbornness at all! We love him dearly and are so grateful for the light he brings into our home. He is still loving Super Heros, but at this time he is enjoying spending lots of time on his bike, scooter, or running around the neighborhood. Some of his favorite past time activities are: climbing up trees, standing on his head, doing round offs, playing the Wii, trying to take his big brother down! He is great with his little siblings and he is either getting along great with his big brother or is finding anyway to fight with him! He loves to give Payton kisses and hugs and to watch him do things for the 1st time. His favorite sport to play is soccer, but is willing to do what ever sport that people are playing at that time. He is such a special person in our little family, we love him dearly!
Olivia
Princess Olivia is 4! She has been going to Preschool this past year and loves it. For the most part where ever Olivia goes there is sunshine, she is such a happy, talkative, outgoing little girl. She talks a lot, but to her defense it is because she has a lot to say! Olivia is quite the Princess who loves to dance, play with babies, wear makeup, and play with friends. She loves to dance around the house and in her dancing class, she is quite the natural. She loves to hang out with her big brothers and loves to be a little mother to her baby brother. We love our little Sunshine girl!
Payton
Our little Payter is 17 months old!Time seems to be going way too fast... He is such a sweet, happy baby. He is always running trying to keep up with his older siblings. There is a lot of "huhs, head nodding, hand pulling". He doesn't talk to much, but we all know what he needs! He doesn't like to be told no and he is pretty shy when he is around new people. We are so grateful he is a part of our family. We love him so much none of us can get enough of him.
Hudson
You can't forget our little puppy. What an adventure that has been, but a good addition to our family. He keeps us going that is for sure. We lucked out on getting a well behaved dog. We love our little Hudson!
