December fun

 Here are a few pictures of when we got our tree.  We bought it at a little local place in Springville.  It smelled so good when we brought it into the house. 
 The tree looked pretty good there on the lot, but when we set it up it was huge!  Jason said we looked like the Griswalds.

 The guys there stand around a burning barrel to keep their hands warm
 Snowman pizzas for lunch :)  I think I need a new cookie sheet...
 These pictures I took with my phone so they're not very good but every December we go the Peteetneet Museum in Payson.  On Saturdays they have the story book lady who tells a nice story about the birth of Jesus.  They pass out little bells and homemade cookies.
 The kiddos sit on Santas lapJulia told him that she wanted a Tinkerbell dress for Christmas.
 Katy told Santa she wanted some ponies and Jack told him that he wanted a new gun.  Santas response, "You'll shoot your eye out."
 And this is the second time Leah sat on Santas lap but the only time she hasn't turned beet red with fear and hysteria. And I love how this Santa passes out red delicious apples.
 On our way out, we stop by the train show.  It's a miniature exhibit but everything is to scale.  I think he smallest thing I found was a baby deer.  And it was about the size of... the smallest nerd in the box.  It is so fun to see and the kids love to watch the trains go.  I bet Erica's boys would LOVE this!!
 We had a pretty good snow storm in November.  Spanish Fork had about 9 inches. 

It snowed all day long.  And it was the same morning that Jason decided to drag the 87 Chevy Caprice Classic out of the driveway and tow it up to the scrap yard.  The three older kids and I rode in the "brown bomber."  They thought it was hilarious.  And what did we drive home with$380.00 !  That was a fun few hours.

Family pictures

We took family pictues in mid October.  Here are a couple of the shots!  It was so so windy that day.  But warm :)







And the kids love to take homemade yummies to their church teachers.  So a couple of days ago, we spent the afternoon making sugar cookie buttons.  It was so much fun and so cute.  We will have to do them again soon.
