Wrestling and Basketball!

We have finished up Soccer and Flag Football and are on to Basketball and Wrestling!  Konrad wrestled last year but this is the twins' first time playing basketball, Cody is their coach.  We took a break from basketball last year so Corbett hasn't played for a few years.  We have fun teams though and are looking forward to a fun season!

 Konrad wrestled this kid in both tournaments so far, hes a tough wrestler...

 It's good to have some support from dads and brothers!

 It's fun when you get to wrestle one of your buddies!  This was fun to watch Konrad wrestle Skyler!

 Corbett's team, first week and they had a double header!

 Kennedy and Konrad, #12 and #14

 My three basketball players, makes this mom happy :)

Sunday Best!

Almost every Sunday I think about taking pictures of my kids because they look so cute all dressed up!  Sometimes we actually get ready in for church in time for that to happen!

Thorson Christmas Party!

 We had a fun party with the Thorson Family!  We did the nativity.  No one was assigned parts so everyone could decide what they wanted to be.  We had two Mary's and no Joseph's.  We made Corbett fill in for Joseph.  He was a good sport but he initially didn't want to.  I can't blame him with Kennedy and Taylor facing off for the job of Mary!  We also played a lot of games and had dinner catered by Maddox!

 My mom has a new rule, only kids under 12 get pajamas now.  These are most of the kids that got matching PJs.  EVERYONE still gets a USU gameday shirt though.

 These are the babies in our family. I just thought this was a cute picture...

Christmas!!!!!!

We had such a fun Christmas!  I don't have a lot of pictures from December and honestly I struggled to get excited about this Christmas.  We did a few things like seeing some lights, making gingerbread houses and a chain and we had our annual lunch/dinner out with some friends, which is always one of my favorite days at Christmas.
We had our friends, the Grovers over on Christmas Eve.  The Grovers are like family to us!  Trisha brought stuff for sugar cookies and it was a blast!

Kennedy and Lexi...

Corbett tracking Santa!

The Grovers.  They are expecting twin girls in February!

Santa Claus came...

The kids waiting at the top of the stairs for the green light to go downstairs.  My mom always made us have curled hair before we could see what Santa brought.  I kept the tradition but Kennedy has NEVER had her hair curled so early in the morning before!

We also lined up oldest to youngest...

Kennedy and her doll...

This wasn't taken on Christmas but when I was little my mom made us twirly pajamas so I asked her to make Kennedy some.  She ended up making all the little granddaughters some.  Kennedy was in HEAVEN!!  Probably her favorite part of Christmas!

Santa Claus came to town!

 We have our own special Grandpa Claus!  A lot of years we get a very personal visit from the man in red!  This year they brought the kids elf pajamas so they could be helpers.  It's a lot of fun!  This year we had some cousins come to our house for the occasion!

Thanksgiving!

We had a fun Thanksgiving in Idaho Falls!  We spent it at Cody's parents' house.  The night before we all went out to Leo's place and let the kids play and then went to a movie.
