Getting all ready for Christmas

Beej & Chris

We set up the Christmas tree and all the decorations right after Thanksgiving.

Here is the front room before we set up the tree.


While we were getting everything out Kaylee was talking to her dolls
and Connor was hanging out in his toy saucer
This picture just makes me smile :D



I just love how big Connor looks in this picture.





Putting the star on the Christmas tree


Playing with the Nativity set Papa Bruce and Grandma Sherry gave the kids.
I love how Connor has his hand on Kaylee and Kaylee is pushing back onto Connor in this picture. They just love each other soo much it is so cute.

We took a few family video's of us putting on the ornaments on the Christmas tree but they are kind of long so I am not going to upload them here. But it was fun as always. I love the tradition we have (that we got from grandma and grandpa scott) of buying or making a new ornament to represent each year. It is always so fun to go through all the ornaments and remember why we chose them and all the memories that come from each one.

2011 Thanksgiving

Beej & Chris

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! Lots of yummy food and great company! Couldn't have asked for anything more!
The hardest part on Thanksgiving is smelling all that yummy food and waiting to eat it!

My sister Angela getting all ready for black Friday shopping!!!
BJ and I decided not to go this year. We decided the lack of sleep just wasn't worth it this year. But its on next year!

Kaylee and her sweet cousin DESEEEEE




Grandpa Scott!
Love this smile









I was assigned this jello this year. We have it every time we go to Idaho for Thanksgiving. It was delicious!

Connor and Camden


My brother Johnathon was able to come this year for a bit. It was as always, great to see him.

THE BEST Stuffing Ever!


We had Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt Sherries house but stayed the night at my Grandma and Grandpa's house, and we woke up to her amazing pancakes.
She made Kaylee a snowman pancake and then kept making different things with the batter. Grandpa told her to stop playing with her food ha ha


Love my family!



Kaylee was in the spotlight the whole weekend and she LOVED it! Aunt Sherrie had a ton of 'little people' to play with, including a 'little people house'. She was in heaven.

C'mon can he get any cuter?!


Kaylee helped herself to all the treats she could find and reach

Grandma Scott practicing giving Connor the bottle.




Kaylee made it to us serving food before she was sooo exhausted that we put her down for a nap. Two minutes after we did she walked upstairs and found us. Yep she can climb out of the playpen now. I guess I wasn't that surprised, since she had been sleeping in a big girl bed at our house for just over a week.

I was not a very good picture taker and didn't get a lot of pictures of BJ. So here are the only ones I have. Look at that 'Stud Muffin'. :)




I love this picture....because of grandma Scott's smile :D




I couldn't even start writing down all that I am thankful for right now because there is just sooo much, I wouldn't even know where to start. I just can't thank my Heavenly Father enough for my sweet family- extended and all. With all of the repairs we have had including a recent repair on our car, we have just about come out even with BJ's work and my work. My kids just make me smile everyday and I don't even want to imagine my life without BJ. Like I said I couldn't even write all that I am thankful for but just know I am overwhelmingly grateful for all that I have!

Brynlee and Desiree!

Beej & Chris


We just can't get together enough with the Layton's. Kaylee just loves playing with Brynlee and I love visiting with Challae. So it is a win win!

If you look to the left you can have a sneak peak of Brynlee's new brother Everett (isn't he a cutie!). Everett and Connor are just over 3 months different in age.




I only got one picture of Kaylee playing with her cousin Desiree or Deseeee as Kaylee calls her. But these two are inseparable. Kaylee grabs Desiree's hand and takes her everywhere she goes. She loves playing with her and frequently wakes up saying her name in hopes we go play with her.
I am so grateful Kaylee has such good friends!

Morning Meeting

Beej & Chris


I don't know why but I just love to sit down and talk to the kids about the plan for the day. It just helps me organize my thoughts and figure out what we have to get done for the day. Sometimes Kaylee has some good input and sometimes she just says silly things. Either way I love our morning meetings! :)
