December highlights

Kylie's preschool Christmas program, she was quite shy and didn't really want to do anything (sounds familiar, Logan just gave us scowling eyes the whole time through his back in 2007).
   
I had realized it had been a very long time since we had been to Temple Square to see the lights at Christmas time, so I decided this year we were going.  It was Logan and Kylie's first time, and Trevor hadn't been since he was probably 3 or 4.  We decided to make it a family event, my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews all went.  We first ate at Crown Burger, then walked up the street to see the lights.  It was a very mild night which was nice, since I have many memories of freezing fingers and toes in years past.  What a great way to really feel the Christmas spirit.

Picture of the kids in their new Christmas church clothes in front of the tree.

Pete and I on Christmas Eve, a rare picture with both of us in it.


The traditional photo of the kids in their new pjs on stairs Christmas morning.

Kylie turns 4!  She decided she wanted a princess party so she wore her new Aurora dress and shoes she got for Christmas.  Her girl cousins also wore dresses they had - Abby was Belle, Rylee was Cinderella, and Presley was Tinker Bell.  We had the kids decorate crowns with jewels.  Kylie then opened her many presents - most of which was Disney Princess stuff.  We then had cake and ice cream.

October and November in a nutshell

October
Logan enjoyed another year of soccer and really seemed to learn a lot.

 Traditional pictures in Papa's pumpkin patch.  


Frightmares at Lagoon, our last hurrah with our season passes.
Halloween party at Grandma's in Bountiful with cousins and 2nd cousins on the 29th.  Trunk or treat and trick or treating in Wendover on the 30th (Saturday).  Trevor missed all the Halloween festivities as he was off with Pete deer hunting with his own Jr. tag, though neither of them got a deer this year.  Kylie was a fairy and Logan one of many Iron Mans this year.
 

November
The kids enjoyed the snow storm at Grandma's.
We also had our traditional Thanksgiving with dinner Wednesday night with my family and Thursday with Pete's family.  Pete went on his annual fishing trip with his dad and brother to Flaming Gorge Friday and Saturday.  While I did most of my Christmas shopping on Black Friday.  We enjoyed the Utah BYU game that was so exciting, coming down to a blocked field goal at the last second for the Utes win!
(Our littlest Ute fan, she loves to cheer for Utah.)
