dec 14th-20th Websters visit

 

Boise finally got snow! It only stayed about 30 minutes. There wasnt enough to play in but we tried anyways. It has been rain/ snow almost every day for 2 weeks but we cant get the snow to stick

 Another dance class performance. Basically, just regular dance class but they got to wear costumes so it was much more fun!

Rob and Janet came to visit! They came for Braydens graduation and they were going to babysit for Chris and I while we went to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert in Salt Lake. But the roads were bad and it wasnt worth getting in a wreck. Bummer. Maybe next year. But we made up for it by having fun with my parents. They are the best and my kids adore them. We already cant wait to see them for Christmas!

 My mom is perfection in everything she does.... except taking pictures under pressure. (haha) Avys got cut off a little but its ok :) Santa knows she is an angel

Sunday morning before church. Little Christmas babies

Dec 1st-13th getting ready for christmas...







Avy loves this Santa. She ballroom dances with him all day....

 Avy had her Christmas dance performance. She did so good and wasnt even scared... the red lipstick helped her confidence :)

Friends doing christmas crafts

 Jett loves coloring! So much that he is often doing it on the table, floor, walls, himself....

And christmas cookies... They are both obsessed with mixing

Avy set up this tea party ontop of the dresser all by herself! They thought they were so awesome

Avys preschool teacher set up an appointement to meet santa at the mall. I was actually suprised how good my kids did. Jett wasnt thrilled, but he sat there! And Avy even asked Santa for a barbie!

Her preschool class

The play place at the mall was a huge hit

Thanksgiving weekend in Rexburg

Such a fun weekend to spend with our families and eat a lot of food :) The kids absolutely loved  playing with their cousins all weekend. Chris got to spend a lot of time with his brothers and dad. And I got in a lot of quality time shopping with Mandy and my mom. So it was a great weekend!!

We left for Rexburg around 6am on Thursday (thanksgiving) morning. There was a bad snow storm the night before and the roads were horrible. It took us about 7 hours to get to Rexburg. But thanks to the movies on the ipad, lots of coloring books and treats, we survived! 

 
We arrived about 30 minutes before Thanksgiving dinner started! perfect timing. My mom always makes the most beautiful, delicious, perfect thanksgiving dinner. She is absolutely amazing!! I don't know how she does it all.

And my mom carried on the tradition of Christmas jammies the night of thanksgiving. So fun for the kids. The PJs were a hit this year!!

Friday night we went to the movie, "The good dinosaur". It was a cute show but the best part was that Jett and Avy sat still and watched the entire thing!!! Then we played on the toys after the movie.....

Saturday night we went to the gymnastics center open gym. My kids obviously loved every second.

Nov 8th-22 random happenings

I should probably take more picture of this because it happens almost every night. Piggy back rides / chase game. The kids favorite!!

Its getting cold but that cant stop Jett from riding that bike!!

New outfit from her birthday

Night out at texas roadhouse. One of our favorites!

If the sun is shining and its above 30 degrees, we play at the park!!

 New birthday dress. She said "I look magical!"

Thanksgiving day party at preschool. I volunteered to come help but wasn't much help because I had Jett with me. But he loved preschool!

random... one of our neighbors lost their bunny and it was hanging around our yard for 2 days. The kids loved it!

Avys Birthday!!

Our beautiful Avalee is FOUR!!! She is the happiest sweetest little girl. I cant believe she is already  four. 

- She is 32 pounds

- This little princess, loves princesses! She is always playing with her doll house with her princesses or dressing up as a princess. She doesn't really have a favorite. She loves them all!

-She started preschool this fall and is doing really good. She is so smart and her teacher says she is such a good little student. 

- Avy is such a mommas girl. We are best buds! She always wants to be with me or have me hold her. She hates when I have to go to my "meetings" (work). She always wants me to lay by her at night to go to sleep. We really are best friends and I hope that never changes. 

- She is still totally and completely obsessed with her blanket. Its falling apart more and more everyday. But she has to have it everywhere she goes. 

- She loves her little dance class and is always dancing around the house. She is so cute and good! 

- Her beautiful curly hair is getting long! It almost touches her bum when its straight. Very thin, but long "like Rapunzel"!

- She is such a good big sister. She is always cautious about where Jett is and if he is in trouble. They have their moments of fighting but for the most part, they are pretty good friends.

- Avy has such a sensitive, sweet little heart. She gets so so sad if I put her in time out or if she gets into trouble. She just cant handle it if she gets her feelings hurt. She is getting tougher but I think she will always be a sensitive little soul. 

- She is just so full of love, happiness, energy and joy. This precious little girl means the world to us and Im so lucky I get to be her mom.  

We hired a lady to come dressed up as the real Cinderella at her princess birthday party. She was really sweet and Avy loved her. I had higher expectations for her and what she did at the party but the girls loved her and thats all that matters.

Avys friends at the party:
Kenna (Nikke's daughter), Madi, Cinderella, Avy, Mckenna (primary friend)
Juliette (preschool), Katherine (primary), and Kenna (preschool)
