Christmas Fun!

Blogging about Christmas in May??? Will I ever get caught up with this blog???  Although I am trying, I feel like life is happening so fast that I can't stay on top of it.  It has been fun to look back at this blog from time to time and see what has happened in our lives and how much we have grown.  So if for no other reason, I will continue to blog for my family :)

We had lots of Christmas fun during the month of December.  I am going to try to fit everything into a post or two :)

It has been our tradition to go see Santa arrive on a firetruck at the city hall.  I think my kids look forward to it.  Seems like we run into everyone there.

Our ward Christmas party!

Look who showed up to find out what my kids wanted for Christmas.  Blakley wanted to tell him a secret.  Still not sure what she said..... Hmmmm!

My boys are growing up way too fast!  Pretty soon I am going to have to bribe them to sit on Santa's lap.

Blakley had her preschool Christmas program.

She did so stinkin good :)

It's fun that Bentley and Kenli were in the program with her!

 We had our annual Lavin Family Christmas Paaaaarrrrtttty!

Beware of Picture Overload!

 I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas time!

Elf on the Shelf and Everywhere Else.....

Our crazy elf, Lucky found his way back to our house from the North Pole once again this year.  He hid in some of the most random places.  Here were some of my kids favorite places.  

We love this silly elf of ours.

Other Happenings in November

We had lots of things going on during the month of November.  Here are a few of the highlights.

My brother-in-law Rob got married to the cutest girl, Laura!  My nephew, Clint and Laura's son Josh were the best men!  They were very good lookin in their suits.

Lela, Tristin and Jessica were the flower girls for their dad's wedding.  Blakley was convince that they were princesses.  She loved following them around all night.  

My three boys and their friend Carson signed up for the kids cross-fit class.  It was fun to see the how much they improved during the course of two months.  They all were able to do more sit-ups, push-ups, burpees, pull-ups and jump-ups then before they started :)  Way to go buff dudes!

Troy made the Honor Roll for the second quarter!  He was one point off from making Principals list. So Close!  He is such a hard worker at school.  Looks like it pays off too.

Great Job Troyster!

We went and saw two of our favorite friends in the play "Suessical the Musical." Maddie played the lead role as Cat in the Hat.  Max played Horton the Elephant.  They did GREAT!

We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday with dinner at my parent's house.  Everyone loves Terra so much.  She is such a sweetheart and would do anything for anyone.  She is gorgeous inside and out. 

My mom hosted Thanksgiving at her house this year.  

It was yummy as ever!

Shane and Emily announced that they were prego that day!  They had their kids come in the house wearing shirts that said "Baby #4 Due 8*3*14"  What a perfect thing to celebrate on Thanksgiving!  Since then we have found out that they are having a girl.  YAY!! I can't wait till baby girl gets here.
