Crazy month

I am a little behind making some goals for the new year and I am still putting it off so this post will just be a little on the family! Ryan is busier than ever. Zions Bank is in taking over everyday operations for Barnes Bank until the middle of February and so Ryan has been working at the Barnes Bank branch in Bountiful. We have loved having him closer but he has worked alot of long days and Saturdays but he is enjoying his time. I have tried to pick up a few new hobbies so I will keep you posted on how it is going later when I decide if I am really serious about it :) Just tonight Connor took his first steps. He is growing so fast. Just took him to his 15 month appointment and he weighs 26 lbs. Therefore he is very hard for me to hold for a long period of time so first steps are a welcome milestone!! Sydney is loving school and this week they learned about opposites! She is learning so much and is such a smart girl! I know it is way over due but I just have to post a few pictures of Christmas- so here are my pictures keeping the season alive for a few more days!!

Christmas Season

I know that I am totally behind on this blog but I wanted to update about our great Christmas season!! We pack many things in but had a great time with family and friends. We started off the season by getting the kids pictures taken with Santa and so they could put in their requests for Christmas! Connor was not very excited that I was handing him over to a strange man but we did get one good picture!

Sydney preformed in her first ballet recital! She did Awesome and a big thanks to Miss Brittney for her patience :)

Next was Sydney's Christmas preschool program. She memorized her part and loved singing all of the songs with her class.

We took a ride on the Polar Express to the North Pole to see Santa. The kids really had a good time.

Along with Ryan's family we went to see This is the Place state park. We had so much fun. The kids made crafts, we went to the school house and danced and enjoyed some good food!

We went on a carriage ride in Downtown Salt Lake to see all the lights at Temple Square. It was lightly snowing and so much fun. A tradition we look forward to each year!

We also hit up Zoo Lights. It was soooo cold but loved seeing all the lights in one place. It is something we will for sure try to do next year but maybe pick a little warmer night!


I didn't get any pictures but we also went to see the village on Historic 25th street in Ogden! We watch lots of Christmas shows and sang lots of Christmas carols and had a Wonderful Christmas season :)
