Gingerbread and Jammies

I LOVE that someone super smart came up with these things awhile back - they have made my life much better. We always do these "buy it and build it" Gingerbread houses every year, and every year my kids just LOVE it! I love it, because you really can't mess it up - it is pretty darn easy. This year my fun sister Cindy got to help and the kids couldn't have been happier - they LOVE their aunt Cindy! We were able to have her stay with us for a whole week while she is on break from school and we had a blast. We love her and we love being with her - especially ME! She truly is my best friend and I miss her a ton! We also had our Summerhays Christmas Party this last weekend and it was a blast! Danny and Em planned it and it turned out FABULOUS! Every year Spencer's parents give all 21 of the grandkids matching jammies and they love them. Fun times!!!




Beautiful CIND!

A Kendalyn Day

Kendalyn was able to get Baptized last week and it turned out to be such a great day. My parents drove down early that morning (they left at 5:00am - ugh) and my brother and his fam drove down the night before. Most of Spence's fam was there besides his parent's and a couple of brothers. And my grandma came as well. We had a fun Brunch after with breakfast casseroles and donuts - yum! I am with my cousin Lisa on not loving the whole dress thing that Kendalyn chose, (Lisa didn't love her daughter's either) but it was her day and I wanted it to be completely her choice. She ended up looking beautiful and I actually like the dress a lot more now. I really am so proud of her decision to be baptized and of the great girl she has become - We LOVE you Sweetie!!!
