Brynlee's Blessing Day

Yesterday was a big day! Jason blessed Brynlee at church (and did a beautiful job by the way), Jordan gave his homcoming talk and Lincoln turned 16 and was ordained a priest. Brynlee did so good during the blessing. She didn't make a peep. We love you Brynlee!

Traditions

Last year Haley didn't dare sit on Santa's lap with out him taking his gloves off. As you can see Haley was very brave this year and sat on his lap with his gloves on. This is Brynlees first time on Santa's lap and she didn't even cry. :)

Last weekend we made gingerbread houses at Jason's parents house. For some reason Jason doesn't really dig doing gingerbread houses. So Haley and I did one together while Jason took care of Brynlee.

As you can see this was an all girl activity. Stephanie kicked Brandon out of our party because he kept eating all the candy.

Haley can't get enough of her little sister. She kisses her all the time!

Here are the end products. Haley's and mine on the far left. Stephanie's in the middle and Karen and Chandra's on the right. Until next year....

More Christmas Traditions

Last night we went with some of Jason's family to the live nativity and to see the candy window on Center Street in Provo.

After we went to Jason's parents house for hot chocolate and sweet rolls and a few games of Nerts. I love this time of year!!

Canadian Thanksgiving

Since my in-laws are from Canada we get at least two Thanksgivings every year. These are pictures of Canadian Thanksgiving that I didn't post last month because I had Brynlee shortly there after. Jason really wanted to deep fry a turkey. This was our first time trying this and I have to say Jason did a fine job. It is great to know he knows how to do this because now I don't have to cook a turkey he gets to do that part! We were even lucky enough to have Ryan and Jess in town for Thanksgiving and for when Brynlee was born.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Brynlee's baby pictures

What Haley does while mom is asleep...

So the other day I walked in the family room and this is what I saw....:)

My mom has been so nice to come over and entertain Haley and take care of Brynlee while I catch up on my sleep. THANKS A TON MOM!!!

These next 3 pictures are ones Haley took randomly with my camera. I have to admit, she isn't too bad of a photographer at four!!

This is probably the view Brynlee gets a lot. Her big sister giving her KISSES all the time!!

Halloween night

So as you can tell I am behind on my blog. Truth is if I have a free min. I am sleeping!!
