Duke's

I love it when our daddy says let's do our errands and then let's go to the beach and stay late and have dinner at Duke's.

Christmas Caroling

 On the night of Jake's work Christmas Party my mom had everyone over to our house including the Lawrence's to celebrate Christmas. We were able to be there for dinner and caroling. I don't like to Christmas Carole but it's so fun for the kids. Most of everything we do is for our kids, right?! They are so darling!

 After caroling and dinner Jake and I left and everyone stayed for our Christmas Tradition of the Nativity.

 Then brownies and icecream...yum!

 Tate made the perfect baby Jesus! :) Brenna, the perfect Mary. She's so beautiful!

Dinner and Babies

Tonight my mom and I got to bring dinner to the Illum family and love on these sweet babies!
Congrats Illum Family! They are perfect and OH, SO BEAUTIFUL!

Yummy Food

Tonight we had a yummy dinner! Breakfast burritos with egg, bacon, chili and cheese. My husband enjoyed it so much he took a picture with his phone...


and said, "Jimmy Dean's has got nothin' on me!" Love it when my hubby is so pleased with simplicity! :)
I have to mention he also helped in the kitchen tonight and squeezed a whole pitcher of fresh squeezed orange juice. YUM!

Tonight we celebrated...

TORI!!!

We had a yummy salmon dinner that Trina made and succeeded because it was SO delish! and chocolate cake for dessert that Tori made herself!:) The children put on a show for her choreographed by Sierra as Tori sat center stage and then they also sang Happy Birthday! It was so cute!
Tori has a passion for reading, cooking, creating, hugging and kissing grandbabies, serving her Heavenly Father, she is a go getter and very organized!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Today is your day to...SPARKLE! :)

WHAT A CRAZY DAY!!! Such a blessing that I didn't have to do dinner too. Worked at the kids school in Ashton's classroom and valet for the am drop off. Got in a lot of volunteer hours...yay! Went to Sprouts for the first time and LOVED IT! Got my hair done and LOVED IT too! I love to just sit there...it is so wonderful!

Yesterday was Grandma's birthday! Tonight we partied :)! We had a really yummy dinner with really tender delicious steak, my oven roasted potatoes, salad and sauteed veggies. For dessert, brownies with strawberries and whipped cream! mmmm...

Janelle is wonderful!!! She is one of those grandmas that makes a child feel so loved, she is so interested in the details of their lives. She is wise, loving, FUN, ready for anything, she is a great family historian, she loves her family, and she loves her Savior! I am grateful for you Janelle!! Love you tons!
