Deck the Halls!

The day after Daddy's birthday we decorate for Christmas! The kids did pretty much all of it since I was not able to walk... there was a baby in the way of my legs! ;)  Here are the kids singing Oh Christmas Tree and Nana listening in the recliner.

The range of emotions in this picture is just amazing, my kids really need to be actors! LOL!

Thane's Birthday!

On December 6th we celebrate the Birthday of one of the greatest people I have ever known! Thane Belnap! The hunkiest, funniest, loviest, thoughtful-iest, man on earth!  We love you Thane!  We started out the night by taking him to his favorite place, no not Hawaii, but close... Honolulu Grill.  We ate Kahlua Pork and BBQ Chicken til our heart's content, oh, and shave ice with ice cream.

Here, the kids are putting as many candles as will fit in one cupcake from 25 Main Bakery.  Thane actually requested cupcakes from there, I know, weird huh?  He never asks for anything like that!

Tait is having fun with the lighter!  Thane getting ready to put out the small fire...

Here is Tiernan and Taya, Thane's niece.  They just moved here from Canada and we had fun with them at dinner and celebrating.

After this fun, I started feeling regular contractions.  So we packed up and left for the hospital as soon as my great friend, Melanie came over to help with the kids.  Turned out to be false labor, so we came back home and tried to sleep!

An Old Fashioned Christmas Carol

Tiernan is in the Choir in her school and they had a lot of fun singing in Christmas concerts this season.  They got to perform at the Dicken's Festival, so they dressed in old fashioned clothes.

Here they are singing at Zion Bank before we went to Dickens.

And here they are on a tiny stage singing at the Dicken's Festival.  Tiernan loves choir, and she is a great singer.
