Kayli's Christmas Tumbling Performance

Kayli had her Tumbling Christmas Performance on Monday night. It was such a fun routine to the song "Let it snow."  Kayli did great and nailed it perfectly! She has learned so much, works so hard and is a lot of fun to watch.

Our very own Super Hero's

Kayli, Tyler and Zach are always having so much fun together doing crazy funny things. This has to be at the top of the list of their best ideas. It was so funny when we saw them. Kayli will be so mad if she finds out I blogged this, but I just can't help but share. It makes me laugh!

Christmas with Grandma Janet

 We had my family's Christmas Party on Saturday at my mom's. We had pizza, salad and bread sticks and then I made red velvet cupcakes for dessert. The cousins were so excited to see each other. They had a lot of fun together. Grandma Janet was so generous, everyone loved their gifts! Thanks mom!!!

Red Velvet and Ganache Cupcakes with peppermint, so so yummy!

The Hall's are Decked!

 We absolutely love this time of year at our house. It is so exciting to put up the Christmas tree and all the decorations! LOVE LOVE LOVE  it all!

 This is the mini village for the year.

 This is the kids tree, they pick out an ornament every year to add to the tree. Such a fun, cute tree!

Thanksgiving 2013

 Thanksgiving 2013 at Mimi's Cafe in Layton with my mom, Dave, and Jenn and her kids. It was a yummy Thanksgiving, and fun to spend time together. The best part was no preparation, no clean up and Tyler and I learned we love Pecan Pie.

Thanksgiving Gift 2013

 Last year we started the tradition of giving our kids a Lego Winter Village set to open on Thanksgiving so they can put it together and play with it through the Holiday season. This year they got the Christmas Tree Lot and Village Market. It was fun to put the new sets together as well as last years. They were so excited and had such a fun time putting it together on Thanksgiving and the day after.

 

Pie Party 2013

Tim and I decided to have a "Pie Party" the weekend before Thanksgiving. After eating so much on Thanksgiving there's not much room for dessert, so we decided to have a night where we just eat pie! We invited my sister and her kids, Stratton's and Brewer's over. We had 7 pies...they were all so delicious. We will definitely have to do this again next year.

 We had Lemon Meringue, Peanut Butter, Double Layer Chocolate Cream, Razzleberry, Pumpkin, Apple, and White Chocolate Macadamia
