Christmas 2013


Merry Christmas!! We had a great Christmas and got spoiled rotten! The girls loved all their toys and their barbie dream house. They all got what they asked for and always little bit more...












Colton and Adam came up with my parents and my Grandpa Newman to spend the day with us. That made the day even better! Colton loved Cooper and told his dad that he wants a dog too.

School and Church Christmas Plays

 In second grade the students and teacher put on a play every year. So Madisen and her friends and classmates practiced a lot for this. It was such a cute play. Madisen was one of the Christmas dolls along with 9 other little girls in her grade. I just took video the whole time of her performing, I didn't get any pictures except these:

Friends of ours in our ward whose little boy is in Madisen's class...

Madisen's best friend Lucy got to be Mrs. Claus in the play. She did a great job. 

Ryan and I at our Ward Christmas Party... 

Emily got to be a sheep... 

Avery got to be a donkey... (I did the best I could with their customes! Don't judge me! :) haha!) 

And Madisen got to hold the Star... 


They did a wonderful job all the kids and leaders who put this together... 

Singing Christmas songs....

Merry CHRISTmas everyone!!!

TaVaci Christmas Concert

It's that time of year again, to break out the egg nog, the sugar cookies and settle in with a nice comfy blanket and watch the ELF. We love that movie and have made it a family tradition to watch it every year. The kids laugh so hard when he drinks that liter of pop and burps so loud, afterwards asking everyone, "Did you HEAR that?" haha. We also got out all the decorations and put up our Christmas tree...

The girls "helping" us with decorations...

What a pose!
That night we put up decorations we had baby Leah stay with us all night. It gave us a glimpse of what it would be like to have another little baby around. And although she was cute, cuddly and good to watch...Ryan and I don't think we could do it again. :)


Madisen and Avery had their TaVaci concert on the 16th of this month. They both did a fabulous job singing and dancing for it. My parents came out to watch them perform.

The girls also perform twice a year for the retirement center here in Twin. The older folk love to see these little girls dance and perform for them.
