2015 ninety-five

 Easter was a great day! Waffle Love for breakfast (we bought the dough), General Conference, a delicious Easter dinner and...

 A program performed by the kiddos.  

Very interesting.

Another great cousins day.

We started at the Draper City Easter Egg hunt - with every other kid in the valley.

 Enjoyed General Conference and a Conference Party hosted by Brynners

Games, treats, a treasure hunt, and conference activities were a hit.

After conference the kids decided they wanted to go swimming in our neighbors pool.  Thank goodness we have amazing neighbors!

 Priesthood time!  Cade's first time.  (Jackson not pictured)

All the dads were out of town so these cute boys went together.

 They made plans to eat at Fuji after conference, it sounded so good the moms went too!  We ran into them on our way out.  Photo by Jim who flew in and joined them at the Priesthood session.

This was Zack's Valentine's day...

Sweethearts at Corner Canyon High School

 This was mine...watching Brooklyn & Blake swim.

My Valentine is out of town. :(

Today Elizabeth left.  Tears were shed.  

We sent her with Sees Candy, a Photo Book of Salt Lake City, and a salt and pepper grinder.

Then she surprised the kids with gifts. We were all shocked!

Legos and a Lego Batman Clock for Blake, cute Taiwan note books and pens for Brooklyn, and cards for the rest of us.  So sweet!

 Fridays are late days for Brynn so we had lots of time for the triple heart hair-do again this year!  

 Valentine Parties!  This was the only one that turned out.

 Then later in the day this came in the mail.  Elizabeth had ordered this camera for Brynn!  She had one and the girls were in love with it. A FUGI Insta Mini 8 (a polaroid).  She could not hold in her excitement!  In fact I used this as a perfect opportunity to finally capture her new braces, which she hasn't let me photograph yet,  sneaky mom!

This picture pretty much sums up what Elizabeth's time was like with my kids.  

Tonight we took Elizabeth to the The Old Spaghetti Factory for her last night here. 

Then we ran to the store and made valentine's until 10:45 p.m.

Happy New Year!

I did it!

Another full year with a picture everyday!

2014 was an amazing year, I know we have been a very blessed family with great opportunities and experiences and for this I am grateful!  

This year for New Year's Eve we had a family party.  We played games, ate lots of yummy appetizers and food, and made lots of noise at 11:30 (Which is when we told the littles it was midnight because they were all so tired)!  For me it was the perfect night...Family, Food & Fun!

The perfect day and way to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas!
