January Instagram Dump

This day always depresses me...

Aidan's got some competition today, and he knows it! The boys don't know what to do with a baby girl around!

21st annual Immediate Christmas party. We should have done predictions ;)

The next Number 72! #daddysfootballnumber

Fun night with my Eddington cousins!

Tonight, only @waffluv for dinner will do!

Kensie didn't believe me at first when I told her there was a painting done by her great grandpa in her Utah History book. #fatherescalante

Wish me luck...

Finally!!

Kensie had her first dance class in their new building last night! Four floors of studios, black box theater, locker rooms, and lots of windows! It's amazing, and I'm jealous that I don't get to dance there :)

9 Months Old

 This kid is such a dream boat! He has the happiest disposition, and makes me smile all day long! He loves to eat big people food and will not eat anything pureed. He loves to sit on the floor and spin around in circles!

9 month stats:

20 lbs. 3 oz. (40th percentile)

28.5 inches (50th percentile)

4 teeth, two chubby legs, one ear infection. Loves to play peekaboo, cruise around the furniture, eat whatever mommy is eating, and laugh at his siblings.

He also keeps me on my toes at church! He loves the glass doors!!

Spy Kids

I can't believe that Lincoln is 9 years old! He is such a good kid when he wants to be, and a stinker when he doesn't! He's quite the instigator when it comes to bugging siblings, but he will always do what I ask without complaining, and still gives me hugs!

 He had a fun birthday party with some of his friends. He wanted a spy party, so the kids all got some shades and moustaches when they arrived! They had to think of a secret agent name, and got their finger prints taken. They played a game where they had to bomb each other (what boys don't love throwing things at each other?!) and navigate through a laser maze. 

Lincoln opened his presents and we had a bomb cake and mini bomb donuts! It was a super low key and fun party, which was good because Matt left to go out of town for a store opening in New Mexico a few days before. He will be gone almost the whole month of January!! Ugh.

Conner, Ethan, Azer, Lincoln, Corban (Jonah came late so wasn't in the photo)

hehe!

Lincoln also got to celebrate with the Young's on Sunday! He got a sweet Utah hat (that he picked out at the basketball game grandpa took him to) and lots of fun things from his cousins! 

December Instagram Dump

This is our elf, Eddie. He's a good elf. After visiting the North Pole at night he comes back and hides (most of the time). He does not trash the house, create elaborate Lego scenes, or make a mess while cooking breakfast. I feel bad for the families who got naughty elves ;)

Winter Wonderland...at the bus stop.

Such a great night at YW In Excellence! I'm so proud of all the girls! Ceciley, you are the best!

Good morning! #timetolowerthecrib

Santa got his hands on some Just For Men...

Someone found my Doctor Who comic books ;)

How is this comfortable?!

thanks for the outdoor fitness tip... p.s. light snow? Um, no.

Christmas Day In The Morning

What a great Christmas! The kids got up around 6:30 and we headed down to see if Santa came! He did, and they were all so excited! We spent the morning playing with toys, eating breakfast burritos, and opening more gifts. We got a TON of board games from Grandma and Grandpa Holbrook, so we spent all day playing them. So much fun! Later, we went to my parent's house for more present opening fun. Landon was thrilled with his Thor costume from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fun, relaxing day, and one that I am always sad to see end.

Christmas Eve

I love Christmas Eve at my parents'! So festive and nostalgic. We're getting pretty fancy with our Nativity. The Hallman's brought a bunch of costumes, and mom got some fun accessories. Dallin wanted to be baby Jesus, so Aidan was an honorary angel with Kensie and Mary. Thomas and William had to be Joseph and Mary again :)

Christmas Eve jammies!
