Happy Birthday to you!!

It's this guys birthday today!  I can't even describe how much I love this kid.  He has the best personality.  He makes me laugh all day.  He says "good morning to you!" nearly every morning and it melts my heart.  He is just the best.  Love you, Petey-boo!!

Petey found my camera...

wicked.

I was able to go to Wicked with my little sister and best friend.  It was amazing!  This time around I kept thinking that Glinda reminded me so much of Jayne!

ward christmas party.

We had the best time at our ward party this year!  Natalie came with us and wore one of my moms old shirts with no shame!

The kids put on a nativity.  Link was the oldest primary aged kid there so they asked him to be the narrator.  He did great!There was a surprise guest... Bishop Santa!

Petey was not a fan...

christmastime is here.

I grow to love Christmas more and more each year.  We went and picked out a Christmas tree at a local nursery.  The littlest kids loved the playhouse!

We found our tree!!

Sometimes you just need to put the star on twice to make everyone happy...

Our elf Widget came back!  She's been a lot of fun this year.

Henry loves to stare at the tree...

Natalie convinced me to put lights outside.  I made her go up on the roof. :)

We decked the halls real good this year!

We even got to open some presents early!

Here are a few of Widgets tricks...

thanksgiving.

We had such a great Thanksgiving this year!  My sister and her family came up for a few days.  It was heaven!

We got together with our dear friends for the feast.  The kids and I made place settings for the kid table. 

Millie was amazing with Henry!

These two couldn't wait and snitched some rolls...

All our adorable children ready to dig in!

I am most grateful for this man this year.  He is my rock.

This guy... Those wrinkles. ❤️

It was so fun to be with my sisters...

And with a friend that is more like a sister. 

We did a little Black Friday shopping... Okay, a lot.  We were smart and went around 9am.  The stores weren't crowded at all!

These guys went to a Cavs game.  I'm so glad Jeremy had someone to go with that loves the sport as much as he does. 

We had to take our traditional pictures with the baby and the turkey...

It wax a wonderful holiday!
