December Adventures

We want to thank everyone for your love and concern for Mckay. He his home from the hospital and doing well. He actually came home after four days in the hospital and has had a slight increase in seizure activity. We are trying new medication to help him.



December 15th
Hannah had a princess birthday party for her 4th birthday. Her birthday is actually on the 26th but we had plans to be at her Grandma's over the holiday break. So we had her friend party a couple weeks before Christmas.

Hannah with all of her friends who came dressed as their favorite princesses. Each one of these girls trully thought they were princesses. Hannah loves to dress up like a princess and was so excited to see all of her friends dressed up. She decided long before that she wanted to be Aurora and made sure that her dress was pink!



This is Hannah getting ready to blow out her candle on her donut. She thought this was pretty cool!



She had a great time! Some of their activities were pin the crown on the princess, string fruit loops for a neclace, and dance around the room waving their wands singing bibbity bobbity boo! It was fun! Thanks to all the Mom's that stayed and helped out.

December 21st
Our good friends the Hucks and Herberts came to visit



We all went out to eat at Chuckarama! They gave us our own room because we were such a reverent, calm, peacefull group! John and Brett really enjoyed the steak, and JD had a few bites of it as well! The kids loved the icecream and anything else with sugar. It was a great time!!!



Dallin Hucks and Matthew were both holding their little brothers. It was pretty cute so we had to get a picture.

December 24th CHRISTMAS EVE PARTY

Every other year we spend Christmas with Grandma Linnea. Santa always shows up at our Christmas Eve party some time around 6:00 p.m. every year! We each sat on his lap except Hannah. However, when Santa came close to us to give Hannah her treat she somehow found a little smile and quickly waved through her tears. It was pretty cute!!! She tried so hard to be happy for Santa! Matthew and Hannah were so excited to spend Christmas at Grandma's this year they started packing one week in advance and were counting down the entire month! Matthew played the piano and sang a cute rendition of jingle bells at the party and Hannah joined in with Grandma and sang her own rendition of bippity bobbity boo and we all sang a few songs.

December 26th



Hannah loved this birthday present from Uncle Riley and Carly. She was so excited!!!







Later that night we all decided to run around the house in our bear feet. Some kind of polar bear challenge. CRAZY!!!



Getting ready for the run.





Grandma Leah started feeling the groove and began dancing. This will be a great memory for those of us who were able to watch our 86 year old grandma cutting the rug!!! She actually calls herself the recycled teenager.
