give up?

So...have you given up on me?

Probably have.

That's OK.

I'll make it up to you.

Slowly, but surely, I will.

Going back to June 2010...wow, it's been too long.

Santa 2010

Santa visited our ward party. The kids always love to see Santa, but Kaylee keeps telling me that he was just "the pretend Santa."

Kaylee's class Christmas Party

This year Kaylee and I made these card/picture holders for Mrs. Rogers and Ms. Karen.

Kaylee with her gingerbread house.

Making crafts with Mom and Dad.

Then, they sang us some fun songs. The kids were so cute.

Nutcracker

For a girls night out we went to the Nutcracker.

The girls loved watching the dancing. And walked out twirling.

It was a really great night.

Our group. Aunt Angela, Emma, Kaylee, and friend Katelyn.

Kaylee wouldn't take a picture without making a face.

(Uncle Aaron would be proud.)

Nana's house. The kids love Gizzy and she loves them!

Kaylee and Gizzy have an especially close friendship. Gizzy couldn't stop licking Kaylee's face.

Out to eat. The kids thought the peanuts were a great idea!

Uncle Aaron

We all did some black Friday shopping...

Crazy stores, late nights, lots of fun gifts for Christmas.

Taking inventory of their loot.

Carving Pumpkins

Kaylee was our photographer as we carved pumpkins(she didn't want to get her hands goopy). She did very well. There are quite a few pictures of the knives, stencles, our hands, and the inside of pumpkins though.(: Kaden didn't mind getting messy.
