Oh, how December flew by in a blur! I am not sure what we were thinkin' having 3 boys. They are all active and interested in so many things...it keeps us running. Dallin (13, 8th grade) is doing great in junior high. He plays on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. He also is in band and keeps his grades all A's. He is very tired at the end of the day, needless to say. He is 6 foot tall now and wearing 14-15 in mens shoes. I am scared to think of what we'll be buying when he's a senior!
Michael (12, 6th grade) is enjoying his last year of elementary school. He has an awesome teacher this year, which is helping. He really pushes those kids to excel. I love watching him stretch and learn. He is still playing drums and even got a drum set for Christmas from his crazy mama and dad. We are very thankful to have a basement:) He is also playing basketball with PeeWees, church, and school.
this is the pinewood truck Michael made with his dad for the unlimited derby the YM had:)

Every year we go to Bellevue for their Snowflake Lane festival. This year was probably our last, though. It was a 2 hour wait to get into the restaurants and the crowds were UNBELIEVABLE! We got separated as a family and it really defeated the whole purpose of going. So, we'll have to find another tradition next year.
Another tradition is having Dad read the boys a Christmas story every year on Christmas Eve. It is usually a quiet and peaceful night to just relax and focus on the spirit. I love this time!
This is my absolute favorite expression from Christmas day...Oh, Scott!
Scott sneakin' some of Grandma's caramel corn:O
Michael was spoiled by Uncle Mike with these Copics!!! I expect some amazing artwork from that boy!
