Christmas 2011

We had a very Merry Christmas this year!  Macy woke up at 7 a.m. and wandered into the living room.  I heard her kitchen making bubble noises and jumped out of bed.  I walked out to find her playing with her kitchen.  She looked up at me and said "a kitchen!?!" like it was weird that it was just there in her living room.  Too funny. Enjoy some pictures from our day:

Thanksgiving 2012

 
We got to enjoy two Thanksgivings this year.  We celebrated early with the Ricks family and I forgot my camera thus no pictures of games, food or 11 cute kids running around.  These pics are from the McGarry fams Thanksgiving.  We went fancy and used goblets, plates and actual silverware...no paper products for us. (which meant 3 hours of dishes later)  :)

                                         Here is the Taylor Clan
                        Shane, Logan, Whitney, Kelli and part of Kliss :)
                               Scotty(loner) Brigham and Ashtyn
            Macy attempted a big bite of jello.  This did end up on the floor.
                                   Grandpa being Grandpa with Ben.
 Now it is Ashtyn's turn.  No grandkid is ever safe if they are close to Grandpa!
 We had a lot of performances by the grandkids.   This may have been a time when they were trying to get us to have a sleep over.  (it makes it harder to say no when they have put so much effort into it)
 Alittle game of "ha ha"
It was fun hanging out with family all weekend.  We hit the movies and a two hour long dinner at Applebees (sheesh!) and we did a lot of gaming.  Our new favorite game is Time's Up. We must have played it at least 10 times over the weekend.  We learned that my Mom has a mean Scrrrreeeech!  ha ha  Farkle and Bannana grams were also fun favorites.


Here is Haylee and Zack performing a Thanksgiving song they composed and had to perform for all of us.   There are a lot of reasons to be thankful this year.
