Gingerbread Houses!

On Sunday we all went over to DeeDum's house to make Gingerbread houses! As normal the kids had a blast, but I don't think they had near as much fun as the adults!!! The houses all turned out great!

Snow Day

Our community held its annual Snow day in the park last weekend and the kids had a blast. Dylan had many snowball fight and built a big snowman with some friends from school. Daphne was a little timid at first, but within seconds was climbing up the hill and making snowballs of her own!

Vessels of Hope

Marjon Ceramics held it's first annual Vessels of hope competition to benefit cancer patients. Adam created a vase surrounded by blades of grass and a childs hand planting seeds in the grass with flowers blooming. It was truly a stunning work of art. Though he did not win, he did donate his piece for auction to help support the cause! We are truly proud of his accomplishments!

Amy's big 30!

On Amy's Birthday I woke up to a front yard, garage, and car that had been decorated with ballons, streamers and more to celebrate my special day. (Thanks Laura and Mom) Then after a long day with kids we decided to order the largest pizza around and settle down in front on the TV to unwind after a long weekend! Adam and the kids surprised me with lots of flowers and a large slice of chocolate cake for dessert! It was truly a great day!

Indoor Skydiving

For Amy's 30th Birthday we wanted to do something a bit different. So we drove out to Eloy, AZ and went indoor skydiving! It was a BLAST! While it wasn't as easy as the professionals made it look, it is definately something we would recommend to everyone!

Thanksgiving

After much thought Adam and I decided to have Thanksgiving at home alone with the kids. After several years of not being able to cook and running from place to place we decided to stay home and eat as a family. The kids help in the kitchen and made the day very memorable. Dinner turned out wonderful and after we ate we went out for a family walk before dessert.
While we definately missed sharing the day with extended family, we truly had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
