Lights at Temple Square

Jax with Grandma Kerry

Seeing the lights wouldn't be tradition if at least one child didn't melt down. Both my kids took a turn. Gotta love traditions!

Christmas!

Tyce's gift from Santa. He liked it for a while, then quickly moved on to his brothers toys. Typical.

Jax playing with his Batman cave....cool toy, if I do say so myself :)

Christmas Eve.

Jax opening his present from Grammy

Buzz Lightyear pajamas! He LOVES these and wants to wear them every single day.

Alright- I won't quit blogging altogether even though I'm tempted at times. I realize it's January and I'm posting about Thanksgiving. What can I say- I'm a little slow ;)

Thanksgiving was at a church- yes, a church. At first the thought of having Thanksgiving dinner at a church seemed a bit odd, I mean there wouldn't be the cozy feeling of home. But, when the people count climbs to 40+ in family, it's gotta be done. I have to say I enjoyed it a lot.

There's tons of room to run around and play after the feast has been consumed, and I'm not talking only talking about the kids. Here I am winning at lightening. Okay okay, I won't brag. But I did win a couple times :)

Here is Tyce enjoying a little b-ball after his nap. Adorable.

We also had fun watching the kids hit pinatas, and enjoyed watching grown women jump rope. Yep..it was a great Thanksgiving. Thanks Miner family- I love you all.
