Christmastime Festivities

 We did a few fun things leading up to Christmas.  Including:

Hitting up the SLC Temple lights with Grandma Susan and Grandpa Jim

 All snuggly

 Hitting up City Creek and checking out the Christmas decor

 aaaw what a cutie pie!

 There were some super cool decorated balls in the front windows.  They were done with all different kinds of candy!

 then we topped off the evening playing in the food court playland

 (love the face!)

 So fun!!!

 The kids got to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Packer Christmas party!

Beckham wasn't sure what to think.

 Dillon got up before I could get a good pic

 This is the best I got of Taya as well  (oh well)

 We had a bunch of treacherous canyon driving

 (White knuckles on the wheel!)

 Taya and Dillon made gingerbread houses with Grandma Janet and Grandpa Ron

Very cool and fun!!!

Dillon's Holiday Program

 Dillon had his 1st grade Holiday Program at his school back in the first part of December. 

 He's in the front row pretty much in the middle with a blue shirt on

 They sang 6 songs.  It was so much fun to watch Dillon sing and do the actions!

He did awesome!  We are so proud of him!

It's official...

Well it's official Mike passed the Utah State Bar Exam, took the oath, and was sworn in as an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Utah.  Hooray!!!!  The ceremony was on October 16, 2012.  

Here we are as very proud spectators!

 Mike is right there in the very middle saying the oath.

 I am such a proud wife!

We went for a celebratory lunch at Iggys.  Super yummy!  Thanks so much to our parents and grandma for coming to be with us on this momentous occasion!  We love you!

We are currently living in Logan Utah.  Mike is working at a law firm called Corvus Law Group.

I am so proud of him.  He has worked very hard to get where he is now.  He does so much for our little family.  I love him very much!

Halloween

We had lots of fun this Halloween!  On the Saturday before we went the the Heritage Farm for their fun Halloween festival. 

There was a climbing net thingy on a bunch of hay bales.  Miley and Taya loved it!

Dillon got up there as well although he was a bit nervous.

A giant slide all the way down the hill!!!

Sooo fun!  Mike even took Beckham down!  I think he had fun!

Dillon LOVED it!!!  He probably went down and came back up a hundred times!

Taya liked it too

Awwww what a cute pic!

There was also a train ride, a corn maze, and pony rides (Taya rode, Dillon did not)!

It was a ton of fun!  When the time came the kids didn't want to go this was the only way to get them to the car:

 

That evening we headed to Syracuse for a costume party!

Dillon, Hallie, and Kaylee

Taya, Ellie, and Kylee

Grandma Susan had a bunch of super fun halloween craft things to make and a way fun "Cauldron Hunt"!!!  The kiddos loved it!

Beckham saying "aaargh"

Thanks so much for the fun party it was Great!!!

 

On Halloween we went to Dillon's school to see their costume parade:

Here he is giving us a little wave!  It was fun, Taya loved seeing all the different costumes.

Halloween night:  Dillon as a Pirate

"Aaaaaargh!"

I just really like this pic

Beckham was also a Pirate.  (Side note:  he is standing on his own but not walking yet.)  :)

Pirate brothers!

Miss Taya was Snow White

It was fun to spray her hair and she loved the red lipstick!  Kissy face!

What a princess!

 

We went trick or treating through our neighborhood with a bunch of friends.  The kids had tons of fun and got way way way too much candy! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Beckham had his own little cake.  Everyone else got cupcakes!
