Christmas 2010

Christmas came so fast this year!!! We had a great Christmas! We spent Chrismas Eve with Warren's parents. They came over to our house and we had fajitas for dinner and then played a game of Hearts. On Christmas Day, we opened presents, ate our traditional quiche for breakfast, and went to my sister's house. We had a big dinner and hung out. We also got to speak to my parents on Skype. They are in the Ukraine on a mission. We then had pie. It was a good time for all.

Photo Shoot of the kids at Cottage Park

I decided I wanted to take some pictures of the kids and give them to Warren for Christmas. So here is our photo shoot.











Kylie wanted me to take some pictures of her for her facebook so here are the results. They turned out nice.

Warren took Carlin dirtbiking on Christmas Eve Day

Warren got a call on the 23rd asking if he wanted to go dirtbiking with another man and his family that our in our stake. The only one who decided to go with Warren was Carlin. The pictures tell the story. I think they had a lot of fun.

Got all her gear on and ready to go.

The ride home. All smiles!!

Creche Festival

Our church has put on a Creche Festival for the last five years. This year Carlin's school choir and the stake primary choir were asked to perform a few songs at the festival. She participated in both choirs. After she performed we looked at all the Nativities from all over the world. They were pretty amazing. They also had a live nativity and a room where the kids could dress up like the people in the Nativity. Here are pictures from that night.

Polar Express

Warren and I had the opportunity to take Carlin for a ride on the Polar Express. We went with some friends. The kids all got in their pajamas. It was a train ride staged just like the movie. It was very well done.

Miranda's Tumbling

Miranda started a tumbling class about 4 months ago. This has been good for her. She needs to work on her coordination. She is my clumsy child!! She now knows how to do a cartwheel. Her class put together a little routine to show the parents what they have learned. Here are pics from the event.
