December 2008


We had a fun December celebrating the holidays!
Here are a few highlights leading up to the big day...
Visiting the "Real" Santa!!
My little Trevin was so cute before we left to see Santa. He said to me, "Santa needs new white gloves...his are too scratchy!" We couldn't believe he remembers that little detail from last year. After we left Santa..Trevin assured us his gloves were soft this year but his breath was a little stinky. Love the honesty! Thayden was very thorough in telling Santa exactly what he wanted. He got right up in Santa's ear and told him his list. Traeson didn't know what to think about the whole situation. He didn't cry he just made sure he had his trusty thumb handy. We ended our tradition of seeing Santa by going out to eat.

Trevin got to show off his talents at his Christmas program! Grandma Karen and Daddy Bill were able to come too. The sweetest part was him waving like crazy to make sure we could see him then blowing kisses. He is the little performer of our house. His favorite Christmas song is Silent Night, he practiced all month to make sure he had it just right. Good Job Trevin!
My brother, Jason, graduated from Utah State this month. Trevin and I traveled through a huge snow storm to make the event. The rest of the family stayed home sick. It was so exciting to see him accomplish getting his degree. Jason means the world to my little family. He is an awesome uncle to my boys and lights up any room with his amazing personality.
Congrats Uncle Jason! We are so proud of you!
School Days in December
During the month, Trevin was able to take a field trip and have a new experience that he had been waiting for...riding the school bus. What fun!
Thayden is in the school choir which performed at the mall. It was especially fun because Grandma Suzie was able to be the grandma helper on the bus and go along for the ride. Thayden sang great even with a tiny cold!
We ended our school days this month with parties at school. I volunteered to do Thayden's Christmas party. But not without the help of my sweethearts Trevin and Traeson. We did a craft, played games, and had treats. It is always fun to be at school with the boys and see them interact in a different environment.
Needless to say with all the fun of the month we were ready for a holiday break!
