End of Year Recap

Is it just me, or is November and December put on fast forward? Here's a quick recap. . .




We had five little Indians running around our house on Thanksgiving.




For some reason we all got tattoos to celebrate our day of thanks.


Doug and Kim Button came to visit us on December 11 for a long weekend. It was wonderful to see them and for them to finally meet Beckham. They were here for the celebration on Makays party as well.



Makays birthday was on December 16, she blew out her two candles like a pro. (I think Elder Martinez secretly helped.)


Ryan had three weeks off of school for the holidays and it was wonderful. He got all A's last semester and is well rested and ready to go for next semester.



We acted out the nativity on Christmas Eve for the first time. We did the two minute version and still had some issues but overall it went well. (Cousin "it" on the left is Makay as a shepherd in case you were wondering.)



For New Years Eve we had a party with the kids. Parker made mini pizzas for dinner, Creed made a nacho cheese dip that only he could stomach and Easton made an Oreo cookie dessert. After dinner we played a game of charades and the kids were off to bed.

Your "Nativity" looks absolutely perfect! And well rested Daddy's are the best. I am so grateful that John is a teacher and I am able to have him home all of the holidays! Looks like you have been busy, but have had a lot of fun.

Berni and Family,
It is so fun to see what you are all up too. What a beautiful family. Parker, Easton, and Creed have changed so much since we last saw them several years ago. And Makay and Beckam look like a perfect match for the family. We have had many good laughs from reading your blog. Probably the most valuable quality as a mom is a sense of humor. I (Janeece) hope that my senes of humor improves over time. We hope things go well for Ryan this semester. If you are ever passing through Indiana let us know, we would love to visit with you guys. Have a great new year.
Love,
The Price Family

Congrats to Ryan on all A's!! He is so smart...must be because of his older brother somehow. Cute pics of the kiddos, keep them coming! We miss you guys! Hopefully any day now we will have some baby news for you, she is apparently quite happy to stay in my belly, no matter what I try!
