Easy Bake Oven Fun - December 30, 2013

Monday - December 30, 2013
When we got home, Brinley couldn't wait to make more treats with her easy bake oven.  That's all she wants to do now.  I broke down the measurements of some of our favorite cookie recipes and made Brinley a cute little recipe book, so she can keep enjoying her easy bake oven.  While Brinley was making some yummy cake in her Easy Bake Oven, Parker, Alissa, and I made some sugar cookies.  When Brinley finished her cake, she helped with the sugar cookies also.  We had a yummy night!

Spending Time at Grandma's House - December 26, 2013

Thursday - December 26, 2013
We spent the night at Grandma Moser's house, then had a nice relaxing day.  Brinley pulled out her easy bake oven and made us some yummy treats.  She couldn't wait to try it out.  Also, I just want to say, Parker and Roger are funny.  Parker posing for pictures with his pen and Roger posing with the toy over his eye.

Christmas Eve 2013

Tuesday - December 24, 2014
We spent Christmas at Linda and Dave's house this year.  It was different from what we are used to, but it was fun.  The kids really loved it.  One of their traditions is a big yummy steak dinner.  They always set the table with candles and decorations, they barbecue steak, then they eat dinner by candle light.  I enjoyed that tradition.  The steak was really yummy.
 The kids got to open their Christmas pajamas and one gift before we all went to bed.

Bone Family Christmas Party - December 23, 2013

Monday - December 23, 2013
We had a fun family party.  We gave gifts the same way we've been doing.  We play a game, where we draw numbers to see what order we go in. On your turn, you can open a new gift or take a gift that someone has already opened..  The adults and kids have their own separate games.  It's a little harder on the kids.  We go back and forth on whether or not to let them play or just have them exchange gifts.  Another tradition we always do, is the nut in the pudding.  We all get some pudding.  Their is a nut hiding in one of the bowls of pudding.  If you get the nut, then you win.  There is always a gift set aside for the winner of the nut in the pudding game.

Brinley's Haircut and Willard Bay - December 17, 2013

Tuesday - December 17, 2013
Brinster wanted her hair cut.  Her friend got a haircut and Brinley thought it was so cute, so she wanted her hair cut also.  I cut it for her.  I thought it looked really cute, but the next day, I realized that one side was a little longer than the other.  I hoped other people wouldn't notice, since, I wouldn't have a chance to fix it for a few days.  Brinley didn't mind.  She really liked her new hair cut.
I made Grinch Cookies (green chocolate chip cookies).
We went to Willard bay to see the lights and Santa Claus.  We love to go on the sleigh ride and see the lights.  Last year when we went, we got there the same time as a large group of young men and young women.  We ended up waiting in line for an hour before our ride.  We didn't want that to happen again this year, so we hurried to get there before the young men and young women groups.  We were successful!  The line was not long at all.  It was so nice and we had so much fun.  The family sitting near us was funny and they wanted to sing a Christmas carol.  We sang a song and that was fun.  After the sleigh ride, we went and saw Santa.  Then we stood around the fire outside and Roger bought us some deep fried Oreos.  We love deep fried Oreos!  They are so yummy!  While we were standing around the fire a large group of young women came.  Some of them came to stand by the fire while they were waiting to go on the sleigh ride.  One of the girls got too close to the fire and part of her jacket flipped forward into the fire pit.  She had no idea her jacket was in there and nobody else seemed to notice.  I quickly got her attention and helped her get it out before it caught on fire.  It was crazy!  She was totally freaked out and didn't dare come back and stand by the fire after that.

Santa Came to Visit! - December 16, 2013

Monday - December 16, 2013
We were just sitting around in the living room talking, when the doorbell rang.  The kids ran to open it and it was Santa Claus!  We all had a chance to tell him what we'd like for Christmas and he brought gifts for the kids!

Gingerbread Houses Part 2 - December 15, 2013

Sunday - December 15, 2013




 Missy's work is going to be having a crazy hat day or something like that tomorrow.  So, she told me her idea and I crocheted it.  I finished it just in time for her to leave.  After she left, of course, I was able to think of a better way I could have made it.  I was in such a hurry to come up with a pattern and get it done in time.  If I had a little more time, I know I could have made it much better.  But it didn't turn out bad and she said she loved it.  Alissa and I took turns modeling it for the camera.
