Deck the Halls

We were pleasantly surprised to come home to the house being all festively lit and the tree being set up waiting for us to finish it off. Eris snapped a picture of the house decked out in Christmas lights and then we were all thrilled to put the decorations on the tree and around the house while listening to fun Christmas music. Their favorite part was probably standing on the ladder with daddy putting up all of the Santa's that we inherited from Grandma Pearl a couple of years ago. It was so fun to watch them sing and prance around with bright eyes full of excitement for the Christmas season.

Lewis Family Fun Time!
















We were able to go over to grandma Pearl's today and visit with the Lewis fam. We enjoyed eating and visiting together. Grandma was nice enough to give us parents a break to play a game while she watched the cousins run wild. It was nice to spend time with everyone there but we really missed the company of Grandpa Keith and Spencer who are working hard out of area.

Mr. GQ

Gavin showed off some of his handsome clothes today at church! It was so cute to see him in his button-up shirt and tie strutting his stuff.

Winter Wonderland

The kids were thrilled to wake up to a White Winter Wonderland this morning. Even though it shocked the little ones at first, they had fun trudging through the snow with grandma Sharon like little eskimos.

Turkey Cupcake Makin'

Grandma Sharon figured out a cute way to make a fun & yummy Thanksgiving craft. The kids loved decorating their very own turkey cupcake and enjoyed eating them afterwards. Next we did some fun science experiments with the help of our very own chemist expert, Grandpa Neily. Afterwards we went on some treat runs to Auntie Whitney for cookies at Target and Uncle Steve for dinner and milkshakes at Chick-fil-a. Then we went on a festive drive to the beautiful lights on display in Spanish Fork and Salem. Spencer ended our night with a surprise drop-in visit after a transport to Salt Lake, so we got to spend a minute with him before he headed back home. It turned out to be a very exciting and eventful day!







We Love Grandpa!










Gavin has been the ultimate grandpa's boy this weekend, never leaving his side. He continuously says "up please" to be held and has thoroughly enjoyed helping grandpa wash potatoes in the sink, rolling with him on the floor or playing catch together. He insists on sitting on grandpa's lap during every meal and picking out all the marshmallows during breakfast. The girls have also enjoyed having attention from grandpa as they have spent time with him building a tent, putting up Christmas lights, playing games and cuddling together for a movie!

Spa Day with Auntie Whi!










Auntie Whitney came over to give the girls a spa day. Not only did she paint their fingernails and toenails in beautiful shades of pink, red and blue but also designed them with fun decals of stripes, presents, ladybug spots and sparkles.
