Our December in Pictures

This month has been so busy just like everyone elses, it's been a ton of fun and we've had lots of time to spend together. Family time is what makes the holiday's special and I am so lucky to have Michael off for a large portion of December. We started the month off with Haley competing a soccer tournament. There were no other girl teams in her division so they had to play all boy teams. The first team they played were "The Bruisers" It was greatly satisfying when they won that game and made the boys cry. The boys team was undefeated for their season so they didn't take loosing very well. Unfortunately they lost the 3 games after that, but they played great! It was so fun to watch them even though it was freezing cold. Grandma and Grandpa Henrie were in town for the weekend and came to 2 games then took all the kids home to get warm. It's always nice to have extra help cheering on the Ladybugs.After soccer games we rushed to the Winterfest in downtown Henderson to watch Haley dance (that's why she has no curls and looks a little messy). Being the great Mom I am I forgot Haley's undershirt and the poor thing froze to death, but she still danced her little heart out and didn't complain once! Her dance was to "Christmas Fever" and it was adorable!Who can resist a cute girl in a tu tu!The same weekend we had tons of company in town because we went to the NFR. We went Friday night with my brother David and his wife Becky and my parents went the next night with Cameron and Jessica. It was a blast to watch the show and spend time with the family. Cam and Jess stayed an extra day and we did gingerbread houses after church. It was a fun activity to do with them.Last weekend we headed to Panguitch for our annual prime rib dinner. It was delicious as always and almost everyone was there. We took the kids sledding and had a start to opening presents. It was a blast and we all had a great time. The house was packed, but that makes it even more fun.Haley and DJ hitting the jump--Backwards. Crazy girls!Wa-hoooooooooo!Haley even pulled the sled up the hill herself. She didn't want to go home!Hunter enjoyed sledding more than I thought. He wrecked a few times, but kept going and was beaming each ride!All the grandkids got a Life-saver storybook from Grandma and Grandpa--fun tradition. Troy and Jodi waiting patiently for their gifts.

Cameron played Santa and handed out gifts. He and Jessica had our family this year. Hunter got a fun catch game, Haley got a coloring book, and Harmon got a Elmo book. They were so excited. Hayden got a CUTE outfit and shoes that he wore to church the next day. Grandma and Grandpa spoiled them to with balls, nerf guns, and Polly Pockets. We don't even need to do Christmas anymore, the kids were happy!Tabby, Konner, DJ, Haley, Hunter, Harmon, and Mallory waiting for their gifts. Look at the excitement in their eyes! A few weeks ago we also went on the Santa Train and to the Light Parade in Boulder City. It's a fun tradition that the kids look forward to each year. Santa comes on the train and says Hi to the kids and poses for a picture. The kids love the train more than Santa. Harmon was really fun to watch, he thought it was pretty cool!
Hayden zonked out by the end of the ride--to cute!

Wow!Oh No! It's over :(Mrs. Claus was a hit--she was super nice! Harmon wasn't to sure about Santa, but no tears.
Haley and Hunter at the House of a million lights. Haley did a great job dancing in the light parade. Harm enjoyed the light parade and the suckers that were handed out.
