Music Recital

Before the music started Makai had to show us his big boy bed. He said I was too big to sleep in~I don't know what he's talking about~but Carter could sleep in it! So he showed us how it worked! Carter played his drum while Skyler played Drummer Boy on the piano~he always wears a suit for important occasions like this

Sweet Miss Katie with Tori & Skyler, she is their guitar teacher & Trevor's too

Here they are playing & singing "Mary Did You Know?"

Just Beautiful!

Merry Christmas!

We had Christmas at my house on Sunday... Makai & Carter got matching blankets~the backs were a different color...

Trevor was sad he didn't get a purse so he was trying to take Tori's...

Every year Trevor orders sugar cereal & white bread~he got some sugar cereal so far!

Tori gave Skyler & Raeleigh a bed for their American Girl dolls & her & Connie made quilts for the doll bed...

Makai got a tool set with a saw that really works...he was using it like a gun...

and a big jar of bubble gum....

Carter got Halo lego set

I made the girls a recipe book with favorite recipes from Great,Great Grandma, Great Grandma, Grandmas & Aunts & Mom~all favorites!

Here they are with their quilt tops that I made for them~the first thing I am going to do is begin quilting them so they will have them soon!

The kids made me an apron & then wrote on it their favorite things that I make for them

Along time ago Connie was at my house & she borrowed a sweatshirt from me because she was cold~she decided to return it now because of it's condition so I gifted it to her this Christmas!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

86 Years Ago...

my mom was born...

she had 1 sister...Aunt Jeanne~I talked to her yesterday & she told me that on my mom's 18th birthday, her & my mom went to the movie theater & when they came back to their Aunt's house, everyone was gathered around the radio to hear the news that Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Boy's Only Christmas List Luncheon

We had to take a few more pictures at the Boy's Christmas List Luncheon because there is this one boy who does funny things to make the picture goofy. That's ok because we had the best time!

I am looking forward to opening gifts as we celebrate our Savior's birth together!

Girls's Only Chirstmas List Luncheon

Last year I started a new tradition.
I send my grandchildren a 'formal' invitation to a Christmas List Luncheon and include a blank list that they are supposed to fill out with their desires for Christmas gifts.
Then we decide on a date & we go out to lunch & discuss the things they put on their lists~you see, I need to know what they are talking about so I know what to shop for or ask the clerk for something that I don't know the name of!
I didn't take any pictures last year & I decided that I need to make a photo record of our meetings. This first photo is a self portrait~it was a tight fit but we had the best time taking it!

The lists are complete & now the shopping can begin!!!!

Tuesday Date Night with Trevor...
