December 2009

Well, here it is March and I am just now getting to our December photos. I really need to be like those bloggers that post once a week so I don't have to spend a whole afternoon uploading a gazillion photos. Maybe someday...

Here we went to see the lights in Layton Commons Park. They do an amazing job. Apparently only Ben and Erin were impressed.
Every year we have a special time-honored tradition where I go to Sam's Club and buy the gingerbread kit. It takes a lot of thought and preparation to do this. Then all the kids decorate it. Well, this year only Erin and Austin had any interest in participating in this special tradition.

Ben received his Arrow of Light Award in Cub Scouts the week before Pack meeting. A scout is always prepared, right? Yeah, well, we are but just at the last possible minute.
Ben turned 11 on Christmas Eve. We had a great time bowling and playing laser tag at Boondocks.

Here are their game faces:

(I didn't hear the game faces part.)

Erin mad that she lost. This girl is competitive times 10.


The kids won a ton of tickets to cash in for prizes. Just what we need, more sticky hands and bouncy balls.

Erin and her American Girl Doll, Hailey, got matching dresses for Christmas. Hailey also apparently broke her arm and leg. Poor Hailey.


We rang in the New Year banging pots and pans at midnight.
OK, so there's our December in a nutshell. Stay tuned for some Jan/Feb pictures...
