Park City Fun!

I love the Holidays because it is an excuse to spend time with all your family! Kira made a new friend in her Uncle Hideo. They were pretty much inseparable the whole evening!


Jeanine and Lamont were gracious enough to invite everyone to their home this year. It is beautiful! It was a wonderful evening. We ate, talked, laughed and ofcourse Danced! Jeanine cooked an amazing spread that include some of the most delicious brussel sprouts! Weird, but I am now a fan of brussel sprouts and I never thought I would say that!
Really an amazing group of people, whom I am lucky enough to call Family!

Evergreen Trees!

Every Year, we make ginger bread.... somethings! We were ambitious the first few years and made houses! Now we have all wised up and make trees! So this year we had a forest of Ginger Bread Trees! They all turned out quite cute!







Kira insisted on posing with her Ginger Bread Tree next to the Christmas Tree!

Our cute family and our forest of Trees!

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!

Christmas is such a big deal at our house! Which is a very new thing for Roger... He was in for a big surprise!

We started off by making a Welcome Home sign for Ariel, Kira's Elf! She drew a beautiful picture, while mom wrote the words.

We then decorated our trees. This year Kira's tree was full of all her favorite things! Had a whole variety of ornaments from dancers, to gingerbread cookies, to dress-ups and even Iron Man!

Mom decided to do a Turquoise and Red tree with pin-wheels this year! While it was a last minute decision, I still think it turned out beautiful!


We then headed to Gummy and Papa's the next day where we helped make Sugar Cookies and Decorate Gummy's Tree!



She had a wide assortment of fuzed glass ornaments that sparkled beautifully on the white tree!



Daddy Roger and Kira then sat down and wrote the all important letter to Santa! Kira colored a beautiful picture while Daddy Roger wrote down what she wanted Santa to bring her for Christmas!  She asked him to bring new Barbies from the New Disney Movie Frozen!


Thanks for Family!

Roger, Kira and I headed to Eden this Thanksgiving! Apparently it is traditional for the whole family to get together for a week of fun. Unfortunately Roger and I both had to work as well as work out schedules with Kira's Dad so we were only able to stay for one day. Even so it was sure a busy day!

Lexi was such an amazing cousin! She played with Kira all day, and even though she doesn't like dolls played Barbie with Kira anyways. 



Then Grandma B and Kira made cookies!



Playing with Uncle Jeremy and Dax! It was too funny, Jeremy was trying to teach Kira how to say "Exclamation Point" lets just say it didn't go so well!


There was this great empty room downstairs that made the perfect baby corral. All the adults were able to sit on the sides and let the kids go to town. They played and shared really well together, even though they all wanted the same toys!





Later Marlee and I played ball! She is such an adorable little girl! We played for quite a while actually.



Family Pictures the next morning!
Clark was not having it! He was throwing such a fit, Kira kept looking at him trying to see what was wrong.





Grandpa Roy made everyone such wonderful and thoughtful gifts! He made Kira a baby crib she loved and now uses all the time!
Kira and Grandpa Roy!


The house had a beautiful view! This picture doesn't do it justice. We had such a great time and I look forward to doing it again next year!
