Deacon's Christmas Present

I know I've mentioned that Deacon likes cars and trucks and things of that nature. My parents sent him a ramp with noises and cars and everything and he loves to play with it. Especially if we play too. So this is Deacon playing with his new toy. On a side note. I have been trying to upload this video for months, and without doing it on my home computer it was a pain to try to figure out how to shorten it into clips instead of the long video it was. Let's hope this works.

Happy New Year!

Christmas

We were extremely busy before Christmas and all during. We had a great time doing it all though. First off we had a ward party where the primary children dressed up as the nativity. At the last minute, we grabbed two of our nursery kids and one sunbeam to be our "sheep". They were hilarious, and totally stole the show, wandering all over the stage, hugging each other and picking up the "snow" making "snowballs" and throwing them at the audience. I can tell we will have a handful with our sunbeams in primary this year. Then, we had my sister and her family come in to town for the holidays, which was great to have some of my family around. It has become quite usual for me to suck at taking pictures, not sure why, I'm just in a rut, so I didn't get as many as I would have liked, but here's what I have.

Pictures with Santa

This place is genius. We had our family pictures taken with them about a year ago and this year they started doing pictures with Santa. Last year, Deacon screamed in Santa's face, and what little kid wouldn't? So this place actually has THE PARENTS dress up as Santa so as to not freak out the kids! Isn't that seriously genius? Anyway here are a few of our pictures, I didn't include the best because I'm using it on our Christmas card this year so I want it to be a surprise.

Deacon's New Shirt

I totally stole this idea from Jenna, thanks Jenna!

Cedar City

This last weekend we had the opportunity to visit James' sister Emilee and her husband down in Cedar City. We had a lot of fun spending time with them, going to a pumpkin patch (not a very good one) and taking photos as usual. On our way back from the Pumpkin patch in Paragonah we saw these gorgeous golden trees that I had to get some photos of. Love the changing colors of fall.
