Hayley

My beautiful Hayley has turned nine.  Hayley is truly a wonderful child.  Everyone loves her.  She is kind to all around her.  Hayley loves art projects, daddy/daughter or mother/daughter days, dancing and activity days.  She is one I can rely on.  I told Jeff once that if you want something done you should ask Hayley.  She heard me say that and said "Hey, is that why I get all the jobs?".  She doesn't get all the jobs but she gets the most important ones :)  Hayley is beautiful and strong and can beat her brother and his friends in an arm wrestle - don't tell him I told you though.  Here is a look back at Hayley.
  

We love Hayley!!

I'm finally finishing up my Christmas posting

I know, it's almost Valentine's Day but better late than never right? We had a great quiet Christmas. No sickness and no drama = good times. Here are the kids making their way up to the presents our traditional Christmas train, youngest to oldest.

The boys were soooo excited to get ipod touches this year.

The girls are looking cute in their new skirts from grandma.

I think this picture exemplifies how we all felt this Christmas.

Even though 2010 brought more challenges than normal, we also recognize the many blessings we have been given. We are so thankful for our family and the love we share with each other.

Look what happened while we were at the Temple!

This is too funny. Paige put both hands into the end of this craft she brought home from school. Can you say "Chinese handcuffs"? Sad but funny.

Christmas Follow Up - part one

I know, I know, I am way behind. So here is my makeup session.

Jimmy visited us two more times before he had to return to the North Pole to help Santa with Christmas.

Hey, check out these hot chicks I found!! I can’t believe I have been here two days and I hadn’t met them yet - you guys should have introduced me earlier. We’ve been having a lot of fun cruising around. I hope we didn’t wake you.

I heard a lot of giggling with that one. They thought it was so funny. The girls were wondering how he got their dolls.

Thanks for the cookies Friends!! This will be my last day with you. I have to get back to the North Pole to help with Santa’s big night. I really had a great time. I hope you don’t mind if I come back next year. Keep a look out for me and have a Merry Christmas!!

We also went to Temple Square with Kristy and Tom's family.

(Look at these fun fonts!! I didn't know I could do this)
