December Recap...

Seriously... I'm just getting around to it!

A few of our December highlights...

For FHE we made a gingerbread house.

Tydon made another one at a Craft Group we go to.

Ward Christmas Party

"Santa will you bring me a motorbike?"

Tydon asks for one almost everyday!

One of my favorite memories with Gord was when we went to see the lights when we were dating.

Tydon LOVED the lights this year...

We rode the train from Sandy to downtown-

Tydon was excited to wear his new snow pants

What would the holidays be without... an

UGLY SWEATER PARTY/WHITE ELEPHANT

Thanks Bates' - so fun to see you guys again!

I love the holidays and the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. We were able to go home for 12 days and it was a blast!

We party Christmas Eve at my parents with yummy food, a family gift exchange, new pajamas and a friendly game of 99. This year my dad won.

We didn't end the festivities until 2:30am this year!!

This year I crocheted Ashtyn a hat and some flowers to attach to it.

Justin is the easiest to shop for ;)

How would you have liked to have seen this from Santa on Christmas morning??

Bailey ~ {For my cousin Karli}

I got to snuggle with her on Christmas Eve - my new favorite ;)

We all took our turns...

Henson slept through most of it the festivities Christmas Eve

Tydon helps make Christmas morning exciting for all of us

After a good nap and picking up our mess at G&G's we headed out to Mud Lake to party with the Wood Fam.

Berkli loved her puzzle and Dora book.

Back to IF for a few days...

Monday night for FHE we went to Mt River Ranch with my family

Tydon loved the sleigh ride...

Henson stayed bundled in his seat the whole time... such a good boy!

We ate prime rib and listened to some great music

My dad is {obsessed} with fireworks and had some left over from July so he lit some for Tydon

After a few more days in Mud Lake we headed home...

On the way we stopped for a DELICIOUS pork roast dinner at Great's house.

Thanks family, we had tons of fun and can't wait to see you guys again in February!

FHE Lessons...

For a YEAR!!

Gord's brother and SIL gave us the BEST Christmas gift this year :)

A magnet FHE Board and Binder filled with FHE Lessons for 2010.

The lessons follow the Primary Outline for this year.

{I can't believe Tydon is a Sunbeam already}

You can make a binder for yourself by going to Sugardoodle.net

To go along with it I made some cards through Heritage Makers...

They look like a deck of playing cards.

{back}

The front has the scripture the kids are suppose to memorize for the month in Primary.

{The remaining cards are scriptures that we are going to memorize as a family each week.}

Tydon started memorizing scriptures before he turned 2yrs, so he is excited to memorize scriptures with the kids in his Sun Beam class.

Ssshhhh don't tell...

I saw this idea on a blog and I'm using it as a stocking stuffer for Gord this year...
I'm thinking it might even be a fun tradition!A Date Book for 2010!!

Christmas break

Sledding with Berkli
We had a fun Christmas break spent in Rexburg. Gordon started a remodel there with Jared so we stay at his sister Trina's Thursday through Saturday. Tydon loves playing with Karson and Berkli. Lots of traveling, but lots of fun! We also had the opportunity to visit the Temple Open House which was very exciting.

Wood family Christmas party

Another Christmas... we enjoyed spending time with family and friends. The fun started on the 22nd in Mud Lake with the Wood family Christmas party. Everyone was there so it was a full house! We stayed in Idaho Falls the 23rd and 24th and enjoyed spending time with more family and friends there. As usual Gordon and I were running around Christmas eve trying to get our shopping and wrapping done. One of these years we will get smart! Tydon loved opening his presents this year.
