12-16 – 12-17-11 LEAVENWORTH

Mom and Dad decided not go give gifts this Christmas, but instead booked a cabin in Leavenworth, WA to gather the whole family together for one weekend! It was crammed, but we had TONS of fun playing games, eating delicious food, playing in the snow and going to Leavenworth! Thanks, Mom & Dad for a wonderful weekend of memories that will be treasured forever! These pictures are absolutely priceless-they’re the first family pictures we have all been together to take in a LONG time!

12-13-11 BRACES OFF!!!!!

Ashley & Aylexie were counting down the minutes…they couldn’t wait to get their braces off!  Luckily, it happened on the same day at the same time! 

Here they are signing in for their last appointment!

Before…

After!!!  They look so grown up with their beautiful smiles!

12-12-11 GINGERBREAD HOUSES

In Thomas’ third grade class, he got to make a gingerbread house!  There was a LOT of candy and sticky frosting, but he had a blast making it!  There was a boat made out of pretzels he parked in the back and a gingerbread marshmallow man on the roof! 

12-10-11 DATE NIGHT

 We went bowling with a bunch of friends and had a blast!  Between gutter balls, and strikes, I don’t remember laughing so much on a date!  Bowling is definitely a great date idea!  Afterwards, the Adams, Ho’s and Jeff & I went out for dessert at McDonald’s.  The lobby was closed, so we ate our dessert in the car with our windows open so we could visit!  What fun!!!

 

Still in love after 18 years!  WOW!!!

12-10-11 ZULLA WAITING FOR FOOD

Zulla is very kind but persistent when we eat.  She knows exactly who to beg from…Jeff!  He has taught her to be very gentle when she takes food from his hand.  We love Zulla! 

12-5-11 ASHLEY IS DRIVING

 The day has finally arrived…Ashley is driving!  She’s super excited and is doing a great job.  She got her permit and grabs the keys and asks to drive all the time!  Jeff has her drive to seminary every morning.  She tried to drive the Honda, but the manual transmission scares her a little bit.  I remember trying to drive a stick-I was terrified!  But hey, you have to learn sometime, right?!

12-1-11 NUTCRACKER

Aylexie danced in The Nutcracker this year with Northwest Classical Ballet.  Her parts were Mathilde (Claire’s Sister)-she’s wearing a blue dress, snow-wearing a white costume, waltz of the flowers-wearing a peach costume with a green top and dresden-wearing a maroon tutu.  She decided this would be her last year.  She wants to focus on golf and volleyball in high school.  She was very committed and learned a lot.  She was dancing Mondays and Wednesdays for 3 hours each day and all day on Saturday with a few rehearsals on Friday evenings.  Needless to say, she is enjoying spending a lot more time with our family!
