Preschool Christmas Program





 It was so fun watching Devon in his little program. He sang really well and did the movements to the songs. We were able to video tape most of the program. Apparently Devon is a good singer at preschool. He has gotten two balloons that say that he is a "super singer". Devon is always very proud of those balloons. The program was at a middle school just down the road from where we live. After the program was over, Santa came and gave each of the kids a candy cane. Devon also got a gift from his teachers.

Thanksgiving Week

 Devon is showing off his somersault skills.
 When Devon saw that I was taking pictures, he started dancing real goofy.

 Devon and Lizzy had a ton of fun playing with their cousins.
 Most of the time Lizzy couldn't even stand up on the trampoline, but she sometimes got the hang of it.
 Devon loves to climb this tree in my sister in law's backyard.
 The kids were super excited to put up our Christmas tree and decorations.

Lizzy's 3rd Birthday Party

 Elizabeth had a Cinderella themed birthday party. That is her favorite princess. We put some of her Cinderella toys on her cake, along with magic wand candles. Lizzy requested a white cake with white icing and white ice cream as she calls it. She ended up not even eating any cake, just ice cream.

 I threw this picture in there for those who rarely get to see my pregnant self. I am at 31 1/2 weeks at this point. We had a Utah Jazz party with Bryce's coworkers later that day, so I'm decked out in my Jazz stuff.
 Lizzy got these snow boots from her Mamaw and Papaw. (My dad and stepmom) They have princesses on them and light up, so Lizzy has been wearing them around the house.

 Lizzy's grandma (my mom) bought her this cute bathing suit for next summer and also this little pink purse Lizzy is holding in the next picture.






 I got Lizzy this Llama Llama book. We got it before at the library and I was surprised by how much she liked it.

 Lizzy also loves Pinkalicious books. This was another gift from her Mamaw and Papaw. It contained books, stickers, crayons, and a poster to color.
 Bryce and I got her this Cinderella carriage. She has pointed it out in the store several times and said she wanted it.
 A new winter dress that she looks adorable in! She got other presents, too, but it was hard to keep up with taking pictures of everything because she was opening gifts so fast. She wouldn't hold up a lot of presents long enough to get any good pictures. Some of the pictures that we deleted had turned out blurry because she was moving so fast!
 Here she is coloring her Pinkalicious poster.

 Lizzy asked her aunt Emily to "do the fire" for her candles.

 Blowing out the candles! (Devon was trying to "help" her.)

Sorry, I should have rotated this picture. This is the after effects of her party. She ate some of her dinner and then curled up in the chair and was out in no time. Notice she's wearing her new snow boots.

Happy Halloween!

 The kids definitely had a fun Halloween. The day before Halloween we took the kids to Melaleuca's home office to get candy. Melaleuca always has a little trail for the kids to follow each year to collect candy. They dress up in different offices and decorate in different themes. On Halloween, our ward had a trunk or treat and then we took the kids to a few houses so they could have fun knocking on doors. Then we went home and the kids had fun handing out candy. They like that almost as much as trick or treating themselves. When someone came to the door, Lizzy would run and open it and Devon would hold the candy bowl and pass out candy. He kept saying trick or treat to the kids that came and "Happy Halloween!" One boy scared the kids when they opened the door. He roared at them and was wearing a scary costume, so Lizzy slammed the door on him! It was hilarious.






 At Devon's preschool, the kids did a little Halloween march for the parents and then sang Halloween songs.





 The Mighty Thor!



 Pretty Princess Cinderella!

 Lizzy is obsessed with Devon's Captain America action figure. She had to hold him in this picture. She treats him like he's her baby doll. She sleeps with him, puts him in time out, and carries him with her everywhere.
 Enjoying their treats!
