Time to open presents!

At my parent's home in Honeyville, Christmas evening.

Quinn's part in the Kindergarten program

This is a small little bit of Quinn's kindergarten program.  

Halloween 2012

 Thayne and I were Garden Gnomes...and a big thanks to his brother who let us borrow these costumes!  There were great and the ward loved them at our ward party.  Some little kids thought Thayne was a scary Santa.

 Quinn the Ninja, Simon the death eater??, Hannah 70's girl and Collin the Gangster

 We had fun carving pumpkins on Monday night.

Simon had to tally his candy for a homework assignment.  Hannah actually took the two boys trick-or-treating while Collin attended a party (broke his toe there!) and Thayne and I sat on the front porch handing out candy.  It was an enjoyable evening, except for Collin had to ice his toe.

Happy 12th to Hannah

 Hannah has started collecting Hearts4Hearts dolls.  They are 12" dolls from different countries.  This is her 3rd one...from Belarus.

I can't believe my daughter is 12!  She has been to Young Women's twice now and is really enjoying it.  In fact, last Sunday there was no one to play the piano so she told me that she is going to play next week.

Piano

Here is Hannah at her first piano recital.  She did well but was quite nervous!

Simon turns 9

We enjoyed growing giant sunflowers this summer.  The kids were picking the seeds out of the sunflower heads here and then we soaked them and toasted them in the oven.  It is always so amazing how many seeds there are!

Simon had a "late night" birthday party.  They had fun playing Apples to Apples, Who Knew, and playing outside in the dark with flashlights.
