What a great month!! I absolutely love this time of year!! The only problem is it has gone by way too fast and we've been way too busy! We started out the month with some more Canadian visitors!
Brooklyn and Papa watching some TV. Papa hasn't come down to Utah for 4 years, so we were very happy to have him here!
Grammy is smart and know that the key to the kids' heart is through making sugar cookies! They had so much fun pouring and mixing and of course sprinkling!
Sissy helping Grammy roll out the dough.
Trevor graduated from Nursing School on the 8th!! We are so excited to be done with this chapter in Trevor's schooling! It was even nicer to have his parents there, as well as my family for support.
Because I am an RN, I was able to "pin" Trevor at his pinning ceremony! It was awesome!
Trevor with one of his favorite teachers and his study partners at graduation. Too bad he starts school in a week for his Bachelors in Nursing! The fun never ends!
Brooklyn loved playing with Grammy!
We took the in-laws to the Aerospace Museum. Jace and Brooklyn kept wanting me to take pictures of them and I love how this one turned out. They really are the best of friends!!
Here Brooklyn is giving Grammy some "Cheeky Time". She loves to cuddle and have cheek-to-cheek time. I love it!
The kids loved to wrestle with Papa! They also enjoyed playing foosball with him. They stayed for about a week-and-a-half and left way too soon!
The next big event for the month was Jace's preschool party/program. Here's Brooklyn with Santa. Where's Jace? He was too afraid!!
After a visit from Santa we frosted sugar cookies, made crafts, and read Christmas Stories.
Jace is already a big tease to his sister! But he loves it when she's able to come to preschool activities. He wants her to be included in all the activities and is very protective over her.
Here Jace is getting ready to sing "Rudolph". He did such a good job and sang all the words!
Such a sweet boy!
Here are some of Jace's preschool friends with Mrs. Lisa. He has grown up and learned so much since starting preschool! I can't believe he'll be starting kindergarten this fall!
Next up was our ward Christmas party. Again, Sissy sat on Santa's lap but Jace wouldn't.
Kylee was happy to take Brooklyn up to see Santa and is always such a good helper and friend to the kids when she comes over.
Jace & Brooklyn the Sunday before Christmas! Such sweethearts!
Getting ready to open presents on Christmas Eve at Grandpa & Grandma Barnes'. I felt bad that all of us got presents on Grandpa's birthday! Like always, they spoiled us way to much! They kids are getting much better and sitting, smiling, and looking at the camera. They are such cheesers!
Saying thanks to Grandpa for all of the presents! They were spoiled!
Giving loves to Grandma.
Trevor and the kids on Christmas Eve night in their Christmas jammies! It was so fun getting ready for Christmas this year! The kids were so excited to leave out cookies and milk for Santa and were so anxious for his arrival! They make Christmas so magical!
I ended up taking more video of the kids than still photos on Christmas morning so I'm kind of bummed! The kids were so excited about each of their presents and were so fun to watch! Here they are cuddling in their stuffed animal-sleeping bags. I will post some pictures of their favorite toys and presents later. Santa spoiled them way too much! We had such a great Christmas!
We went to Tooele to spend Christmas day with Marc & Shelly and their family. It was so nice! The kids loved playing with their cousins! They all played on iTouches or iPhones all day! The older kids and grown-ups played several rounds of Settlers of Catan and enjoyed spending the day in our jammies and relaxing.
Here is Brooklyn cuddling with Shel!
In other news, most of you know that we're expecting a little boy due May 4th! We're excited and anxious for this new arrival! The kids are getting excited to have a new baby brother and are anxious to spill the beans to anyone who will listen! We're kind of scared to be out-numbered by kids, but we're excited to add to our family!!

Congratulations to you guys! That is so exciting! Looks like you had a great Christmas!
Another boy! That is awesome. It looks like your Christmas was a great one.
I thought that would be coming soon! How exciting!! You have the cutest kids.
Congrats on baby number three--that sounds intense!! You're kids are adorable, glad you had a great Christmas!
WOW HOW LUCKY THE GRANDKIDS ARE TO GET NOT ONLY THEIR GRANDPARENTS LOOKS BUT SMARTS ALSO. WE LOVE TO SEE THEM IN THEIR HAPPY MODES WHICH IS MOST OF THE TIME. ENJOY EACH DAY WITH THEM BEFORE THEY BECOME ALL KNOWING TEENS. THE PICTURES WERE FANTABULOUS. WE SURE LOVE EACH OF YOU AS YOU ARE OUR REAL TREASURES.
We sure enjoyed our "short" time with all of you - it always goes by so quickly when you jam-pack the days full of fun things to do...Jace's great saying "who took a dump in the bathroom, it reeks!" We sure enjoyed teaching/making great chocolates...did you give them away? We also enjoyed being "out to lunch" with Norm and Julie along with cards and "drinks" - Thanks again! We also enjoyed lunch at Maddox in Brigham City with Trev, Tiff, and my Seminary teacher from Logan...Mark Bingham and wife Inez - haven't seen them in Y E A R S...loved being hugged, kissed, and smacked around by our very energetic grandbabies - looking forward to the new edition in May 2011 - Thanks to Wes and Tara (hope Wes is feeling better) wish we could have spent more time...Thanks to Mark for setting up Sarah's computer - she LOVES it! We sure put on a lot of miles/km. this month - yowza - see ya'll soon!
Congrats Tiff! I think that more scary than adding another baby is the fact that you and Brooklyn will be outnumbered by boys Ü
