Braden's Basketball

Braden has been playing basketball and loving every min. of it.

Braden taking a shot.

Brock loves his Grandpa, and loves wearing the team jersey. It's nice when we have an extra jersey for the team because then we just give them to Brock, and he loves being a part of the team.

Dan is coaching again.

Christmas

Warning: Long post!

The Fawcett friend Christmas party

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve dinner.

Christmas Morning.

Santa gifts

The kids have enjoyed all there gifts. Braden said to me, "our house will be fun now mom cuz we have good toys." So now every time he says I'm bored I say but our house is fun now remember!

The Fawcett, Litchfield family Christmas party!

The Fawcett's our like family to us so we have to have our own little Christmas party every year.

Christmas Concert!

So we were able to get tickets to the Christmas concert with Natalie Cole and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, it was amazing thanks Brad for getting the tickets.


We went out to dinner with the Fawcett's then off to the Concert. It was a great way to get into the right Christmas spirit.

We had a lot of fun, even though it felt like it was the coldest night of the year.

Thanksgiving

This was the first year we haven't had any family to be with on Thanksgiving. So we thought it would just be easy to go out, then to make a big dinner for only two people and two kids that don't eat anything. So we made reservations at Mimi's cafe.

They have a great Thanksgiving Dinner. I don't really like Turkey but it was very good.

I think that the kids had fun, even though it was just the four of us.

Wow, Dan is looking thin he has lost 20 pounds and won the biggest loser contest at work.

After dinner we kept one tradition alive and went to a movie.

The Sunday before Thanksgiving we had a Thanksgiving dinner with our good friends the Fawcett's.

Braden's first BYU game

Dan, Braden, Alex, and I with the cougar.

Braden and Alex had so much fun, even though it was very cold.

Go Cougars!

It was a great game. It made dan and I miss going to all the games, like we used to when we lived in Provo.

Our Movie is out!

So Dan and I have a neighbor who is a lds movie producer, and last year at this time he was filming this movie, (Once upon a summer) and put our house in it. They toilet papered our house for the movie and put a bag of dog poop on fire. It was fun to watch them film. So rent or buy the movie and you can see our house in it. It is a great lds movie and it is based on a true story.

Halloween Trick or Treat!

The boys and their pumpkins.

Dan took the boys trick or treating for 3 hours it was crazy. He loved it way more then they did.

The boys also went trick or treating at my mom's work. It is crazy, there was so many people giving out candy that their bucket's were almost full.

Brock and Braden with their load. They both filled the pumpkin's twice. Now what am I going to do with all this candy it's to much.

Our Halloween Party!

Kim and I. My fake eyelashes were almost my favorite part of my costume.

We had a great time with everyone who came.

We bobbed for apples, and Braden got his right away he did awesome. The kids loved it.

Porter, Braden, and Braden.

I also had the kids paint a pumpkin. They loved that too, surprisingly enough it didn't get to messy.

Then I had the kids Pat out the dough and punch a hole in it for donuts, then I cooked them and dipped them in Cinnamon sugar.

I was so excited because I found this great costume trophy, and so I made a big deal about not letting Brad win because he didn't dress up. So we all voted and he won, I was so mad but you gotta love Brad even though he hates dressing up.
