Is it really 2011

This is going to be a long post since I have slacked on my blogging. This is going to cover an entire month of fun.

We started the month off by decorating the house. Addisyn even had fun helping. A few years back I bought plastic ornaments for the tree. Such a good idea with my crazy bunch. We would break at least 3 ornaments a year. Now we don't break any.

Addi having fun with the ornaments.

Then we had our ward Christmas party. Which I must say was a blast. They got a double Decker bus and we drove around Lake Elsinore singing carols until we got to our stake Pres. house to sing to him.

I Love this picture and the back round. The top of the bus was cold but so worth it because of the view.

Katelyn was in her first dance recital. She had a blast. She got to preform 3 different times and enjoyed each one. We love the dance studio she is at. If you live near us and are looking for a studio JDI is the best.

Katelyn also had her kindergarten performance on the last day of school. She got to wear her PJ's. She thought that was the greatest thing ever.


Braden had a preschool Christmas party. They did a craft, decorated and ate cookies then did a small gift exchange. He was so excited that he finally got to do something fun without Katelyn and Jonathan.

The whole group

When Christmas break finally arrived we met up with some friends at hullabulo's. The kids had a blast together. Between the tree of us we have10 kids and one more on the way. I am so excited Valerie is FINALLY having a girl and that Lisett and her family moved back to California. I forgot how much fun we all have together.

We got Disneyland passes for Christmas (early) and went when Kevin and Missa were down the day before Christmas eve. It was fun to be with all my side of the family we don't all get together at the same time very much with Kevin and Missa living in Utah.

My two cute girls

Christmas Eve finally arrived. We spent that evening with the Dwelley's. The cousins always have fun when they get together. It was loud and crazy but we wouldn't have it any other way. they had their traditional wrapping paper war which Grandma Dwelley (84) always joins in on. We even got the girls matching shirts so they got a cute picture together.

My cute little bunch

The Girls all together

In their Christmas PJ's

Christmas Day we had Everyone over at our house Lots of pictures opening presents in the morning but none from afternoon on. I was to busy getting food made. I hope someone else took pictures. We had a great month and can not believe 2010 is already over. I had to end with a picture of the two cuties babies Addi and Indee. So cute those two. Matt's pretty cute to. Promise to blog more next month.
