Family Christmas Party

Saturday was the Larsen Christmas Party. Actually, Saturday was also the Rogers Christmas Party. We had a long day of partying. We ate two ham and potato dinners, decorated gingerbread houses and ice cream cone Christmas trees, and had lots of fun.
This is a picture of the Nativity at the Larsen Party.

Santa came too.

This is as close as Andrew would get to Santa.

Snow Fun

After a long fall with fairly warm temperatures it finally snowed. And snowed, and snowed, and is snowing again, and is supposed to snow all week! So here are some fun pics of the kids playing in the snow.

HELP!

I need help! I need to make a quilt for the new baby but I can't decide what to do. Here are some that I like. Please tell me what you think



1.This one would obviously need different colors etc.

2. So would this. I would probably do pale pinks, maybe pale yellow and green as well.

3. Same with this one- pale pinks.

4. I like the quilting on this one- I wouldn't (couldn't) do the applique and embroidery.

5. Super cute

6. This one would ne the easiest and is still cute. I wouldn't do the big block in the middle.

Pollitically Aware or Too Much TV?

During all the campaining Andrew started to recognize Obama and John McCain. After the election when they stopped talking about McCain all the time he asked "Where John McCain?"

It's a...

GIRL!

Isn't she pretty?

Rad Kids

Here is video of Kaylee's Rad Kids Graduation. Rad Kids is a personal empowerment and saftey program that all the first graders do at Kaylee's school. They teach everything from fire saftey to how to deal with bullys to abduction prevention.

"Daddy Said..." and Other Funny Things My Kids Say.

Andrew's new favorite phrase is "Daddy said". Such as "Daddy said gum" or "Daddy said candy". He uses it when asking for things I might say no to. A new interesting variation is "Jenny said..." Yeah, well Jenny's not the mom! And Daddy didn't say!

Andrew also asks all the time when the baby's coming out. "Baby come out five o clock?" "Baby come out 5 minute?".

During Sacrament meeting yesterday the speaker asked a question, the answer to which was, of course, "no". So what does Andrew say (quite loudly) "no-o". Fortunately only a few people heard and laughed. The poor speaker was probably wondering what he said that was funny. At least we know Andew was listening.

This is an old one that still makes me laugh. The kids have been watching a lot of TV lately because I've been laying on the couch sick. Maybe too much TV. I walked into the room one day and Kara asked "Mom, do you wanna get ripped?" What?! There's a commercial for a home gym that asks that question.

The other day, while deiving in the car, Kaylee was pushing back her cuticles and said "I'm pushing back my tenticles".
Don't kids say the funniest things?
