It's been weeks!

It has been so long since I've blogged! Right before Thanksgiving I came down with pneumonia. I was knocked off my feet! It was so yucky! Thankfully I caught it in time and didn't need to go to the hospital or anything. I had so much help from friends and family! I am so blessed. Jer even came home from work one day to take care of the house and kids. Let's just say I'm glad to be on my feet!

Thanksgiving was so much fun!! I wish I had pictures. My parents got a church for us to eat at and it was perfect! The kids could run and play. The boys could play basketball and the rest of us could chat. We almost had everyone there too! We sure missed my brother Steven and his family!

The next day, and Saturday I did another craft fair with my friend Anna. It was in Spanish Fork and was so great! I sold quite a bit, but made even more after from orders from people who took my card! I still have a few orders. (In fact I need to get my butt off her and start either crocheting or sewing ;) I love it!The kids had a fun time playing in the snow together. It was kind of fun that I could just bundle them all up and send them outside! There are advantages to them growing up ;) As long as it doesn't happen too fast!

Jenna mostly ate snow, but had so much fun!
We also had fun decorating for Christmas. I love this time of year! I love the lights! My sweet neighbor Sybil helped me put the lights on the house too! I think it looks amazing! I should take a picture.
Best of all though was Jeremy's work Christmas Party! I so look forward to it every year! It is at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, with a delicious catered dinner and entertainment. It is so fun to dress nice and have a night alone with my honey. Jeremy's Mom was in town so she watched the kids. They had a blast without us. I even got Jeremy to walk over to the spot by the temple where he asked me to marry him 12 yrs ago this month!

Kylee took this picture. I love is huge smile! He's smiling because we had to take the picture 3 or four times cause he kept goofing off and pinching me, etc. It was worth it!

We love when Grandma comes!

Yeah! Grandma was here again for the day! We love that she's been able to visit a lot this year! We hope Grandma and Grandpa Butler continue to do o-k, so she will keep coming ;) And great news! She told us she will be here on Dec. 4th, Jer's big work Christmas party, so she will be able to babysit!!! I'm so excited!

Logan had been asking for pancakes for dinner for a while, so we decided to have them this night. Grandma not only brought bacon and hash brown's to go with them, but she brought something even better....

New Jammie's!!! Don't they all look so cute! Thanks Grandma!

After dinner we sat to watch Toy Story 3. Grandma liked it! (It was our 4th or 5th time watching it ;)

It's so funny the places Ginger decides to go to sleep. Here are a few.

The kitchen floor, in front of the bathroom door.

Kylee's lap. Cute.

Under a bat, by some balls and a sock. Hmm. Whatever floats her boat.

Ok, a few of Jenna chillin'.

With Kylee, (she brought these chairs up from the basement by herself ;)

And with Daddy. I love these ones.

Sharing her blanket ;)

Showing the big belly ;)

Dang she's cute!

I love this time of year!

It is so easy to do fun things this time of year! Here are some of the fun things we've been up to.

Of course the Ward Halloween party. Can't miss that!

Reading Halloween books together!

This one we have on a tape to follow the book. We love it!

The school Halloween parade. I love seeing all the different costumes. This year there were quite a few people dressed up as old grandma's and grandpa's. So funny!

Summer's teacher.

She was so excited when she saw me. Silly girl!

Kylee's teacher! He's so funny!

The gypsy.

Playing with the Gypsy costume ;)

Trick or treating ;) They talked me into dressing up again, and this time I cut the hair. So much better!

I think it's so funny that Ginger plays with bugs, eats bugs, and kills mice!

And plays with them! Eww!

So excited for Daddy to be home! I love it!

She made sure I looked at her doing this. She kept yelling "Mom, look!" So cute.

The annual dance festival. It's so fun to see them dance. They love it! I remember doing this as a kid! I loved it too. Kylee got Logan and Jenna to do the mocarena (sp?) with them. They loved it.
