Kristen's Birthday

 On Kristen's actual birthday, we celebrated with a delicious dinner at Benihana.  So good!

Then, on Sunday, we celebrated with the whole family at Dad's house. 

 In lieu of a cake, Kristen always requests homemade chocolate chip cookies.  Davis and Jena were excited to help her blow out the candles. 

 Davis and Jena are just fun to watch.  They cracked me up eating their treat - and then licking their plates. 

 Jena likes to dress up as a celebrity

 We love Kristen!

Aiden Starring in Hello Dolly

We all went to support Aiden and watch him play the lead in Roy High's production of Hello Dolly!  He loves performing and you can really see that when you watch him in action.

Tree Trimming with Lilli and the Kids

Lilli invited us over for dinner and to help get the Christmas tree up over at their house.

They love to use the tree skirt - as an actual skirt.  

 And a stocking for a hat. 

 Davis loved playing in the box once the tree was out

 Grace has had this ornament since she was little - and she loves it!  It's a giant red crystal. Pretty fantastic.
