What did Santa Bring?












The kids have been anxiously awaiting this day. They actually slept until Chad came home at 7:15. They were all happy with what Santa brought. The boys were happy to see he had brought an arcade basketball system as a bonus gift. When Logan saw it he said "Who asked for that". After going through the gifts Santa brought Ashlyn said, "This is the happiest Christmas ever!" That statement was short lived though. When we were upstairs opening the family gifts she said, "This is the worst Christmas ever!" She was not happy that she didn't get any Barbie's from Mom and Dad. Apparently the 6 Barbie's she got from Santa and Grandma and Grandpa Hatch weren't enough. I guess only Santa did well this year. Maybe throughout the next year we will work on being grateful for what we have. In her defense, she was happy with her stuff later on in the day. She blamed her imaginary friend "Josie" for the outburst. Should we worry about multiple personality disorder.
We spent a fun Christmas Eve with the Gray side of the family. The kids enjoyed showing off the talents they had worked on. We spent the Saturday before Christmas with the Hatch side. Grandpa and Grandma Hatch were in Thailand on Christmas so we celebrated it early. This was our first Christmas that we stayed at home the whole day. Chad had to work so after all the gifts were open he slept for awhile while the kids and I played. We had a fun day spending time together.

Jr. Jazz

Add VideoLogan is loving Jr. Jazz. Several of his friends are on his team. He has a great coach and is learning a lot. I never thought that Logan would be our scrappy player, but, every game he has had several steals. He plays great defense and has scored quite a few baskets as well!

Halloween





This was a strange Halloween because we had a Utes game that night. The boys were set on going to the game. Ashlyn decided she would rather stay with Grandma and Grandpa and go trick-or-treating with her cousins. Ashlyn is a fairy princess, Logan a Ute's fan and Connor is wearing his Steve Smith Jersey because it was a "black out" game. We all had a fun night. One fan that sits behind us even gave the boys each a couple of dollars to buy candy. Everyone was able to get sugared up!

Connor's Birthday Party










Connor decided that he wanted to invite a few friends to a corn maze rather than have a big party. The boys had a great time. They were a little disappointed that we didn't do the haunted maze but they had fun scaring each other.

Ashlyn's Halloween Program





Ashlyn did a great job in her Halloween program. Six straight years of Miss Julie's Preschool Halloween programs have come to an end.
