Christmas Cookies

The kids wanted to decorate the several dozen sugar cookies I had made. So, on Christmas Eve that is what they did!

Christmas Story

At Christmas time Scott's parents like to have all the grandchildren come over for a very yummy Christmas dinner and to have them play out the birth of Jesus. This year Dallin was a shepherd, Payton was the baby Jesus and Hannah wore red to represent the sacrifice that Jesus made for all of us.

Dallin's 2009 Pre-School Christmas Program

Barneck Pre-School put on their annual Christmas program. Dallin we thought almost was not going to be a part of it, he did not want to be a pepermint stick, he wanted to be a light like his friends. Later in the week we found out that he had chosen to be wooden soilder and he was the best one of course! Dallin also is a very good singer. We also needed to have Payton sit on Santa's lap for the first time.

Thanksgiving in Jackson Hole

This Thanksgiving Rex and Nyta, Scott's parents and his oldest brother invited us to come with them to Jackson Hole for the Thanksgiving weekend. They both have time shares up there. It was a really nice getaway. We really just relaxed and played games. Hopefully some day we can take the other kids up there with us.

Payton's First Halloween

Eventhough we were not planning on taking Payton out trick or treating we still wanted to get her a costume. Scott picked out this rooster costume for her. Payton and I hung out with Grandma after everyone came over for chili and scones and helped her hand out candy; Scott was at the Utah football game with his dad and brother.
