Christmas Outfits

I wonder how much longer we will be able to have coordinating outfits for Christmas. Right now the girls love to dress up and Alex doesn't care what he wears.

We got together with the cousins and had a Parade of Gingerbread houses. The kids decorated the Gingerbread houses then we lined them up and had the kids each show up their house. It was lots of fun.

Halloween 2010

Eevee was our fairy this year; Coleyn was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and Alex was Harry Potter (although he looks like Ron).

Alex's 9th Birthday

We had a swimming party for Alex and his friends on 10/22. It was fun because we rented the whole pool.










On the 29th we celebrated with the family.Janelle made him a basketball snuggie, he received a book from Mom & Dad, 39 clue books & cards & BYU stuff. What a great birthday.

Coleyn's 7th Birthday

We can't believe that Coleyn is 7! She is growing up so fast. She wanted a Polly Pocket party this time. She invited about 13 girls. AAAGH!! It was loud but fun. We used the PollyWorld video as our beginning. One of the bonus features is a part where Polly asks for your help in playing some DVD games. We showed the girls the intro and then played our version of the games. Game one was Help Polly get through the Raging Rapis (our version: carry Polly through an obstacle course in the garage relay), Wind Licorice Around PollyWorld (we laced ribbon around a foam flower with a picture of Polly in the middle to create a door hanger), and Help Polly Do a Canonball Splash (we tried to roll the balls into the blow up target). Coleyn had so much fun. She loves to play games at her party and she loved having all the attention. We did this on Saturday. Then on Sunday (her actual birthday) we celebrated as a family after church. We had more cupcakes and presents. She also got her annual birthday spankings and a pinch to grow an inch.

Here is a picture of Coleyn after ballet recital. She looked so cute and did an amazing job. It is a fight to wear tights every week for practice but by the end she is happy that she did it. We are too!
