Christmas with my Dad and Teri

This weekend we did our family Christmas with my Dad and Teri

Brooke, Andrew, Teri, Dad, Mark, Spencer and Brent. I can't believe how old we all are! We still have just as much fun though. Funny how that stays the same.

Teri made each of us our own apron, they were very cute and very thoughtful!

Here are all the cousins playing out the nativity, it was very cute.

Here we all are gathered for a wonderful Christmas dinner. It was a great night!

Santa's Coming to Town

This weekend we got to go see Santa Claus, the kids were so excited, I thought for sure we'd have at least two scared and crying, but nope they all loved it. Ella asked for a butterfly robot thats pink with white polka dots and Landon asked for a parrot that talks. Wow! Santa needs to get his work on.

The Light Parade

Saturday we went with my family to see the APS Light Parade, it was really cool, but very cold, it's about time it felt like winter. Our kids had a blast, I even got a "Thanks Mom and Dad, this was the best night ever!" Woo Hoo!

Landon and Ella waiting very patiently

Wayne kept Chase nice and bundled for the evening

Mark, Jaymi, Kaytlyn, Kayley and Kensley all bundled and ready

Spencer and Lizeth

And I tried to get a picture of Brent and Jaime but they were dispersed all through the night. Maybe next time...

Ugly Christmas Sweater Party

The Hassell's, in our ward, had a really cool Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. I have to say it was my first, but it was so fun and really hilarious to see what people found to wear!

The boys did some Karaoke and sang some sweet tunes

Then it was the girls turn and we blew their socks or I should say SWEATERS off!

Proposal

This is the ring that Landon put on my finger when he asked me to marry him last night. I of course smiled and said Yes and then went about the rest of my evening. As I was reading a story to Ella, Landon peeks his head around the corner and is very upset. I said, "Landon, what's wrong?" and he just shook his head and tears started coming down his cheeks. I said, "Landon tell me right now." He then bursts into tears and says, "I don't want to marry you." My feelings were a little bit hurt at this point and I said,"Why not?" and he said, "BECAUSE YOUR MY DADS WIFE!"
