Football Kids

Last time when I came to IF to watch Jess, Nat, and Ty, Tyler made a football helmet out of duct tap and it is definitely one of Will's favorite toys ever!  So of course today they had to have a football game against Papa Clint!

Thanks Grandpa for playing along ;)

Early Christmas from Gammy Bev and Papa Clint

Since my parents were in town I convinced them to let Will open his presents a week early so they could watch him open them.  He was so excited!!!

He didn't want anyone to watch him :)

Yay a LEGO sorter!!

Mater Operation!!!

And LEGO bins!!!!

Then he got to help Emmie open hers:

My gorgeous girl :)  Thanks Gammy and Papa!  The kids love there new toys already!!

Beard Christmas Party

This year it was Brandi's turn to host our annual Christmas party.  It worked out well since Hailey and Melanie were getting baptized today anyway.  After the baptism we gathered at Brandi's house and relaxed for a little bit.

Gammy Bev surprised us all with a bag she found from Mrs Claus!

Yay Christmas jammies!!!

Then we had the traditional white elephant game featuring The Right Family

Love this girl!

And a surprise visit from Santa!

Emmie wasn't scared at all!

Will couldn't wait to tell Santa what he wanted!

And even gave Santa hugs :)

We had a lot of fun getting together with my family and it was a great start to the Christmas season!

This year we decided to head to Idaho Falls again for Thanksgiving since its such a traditional way to start of the holidays.  We stayed with Thompson's and always have a great time playing games and having fun!

Thursday-Thanksgiving Day

More games!!!

Gammy Bev made Will an awesome car ramp :)

All tuckered out

We always have such a great time in Idaho Falls for Thanksgiving and my Mom does such a great job making a yummy dinner and making everything traditional.  We were excited that Amanda made some yummy vegan dishes and I mastered a sweet potato casserole this year too!  Nothing beats Thanksgiving in Idaho Falls in my opinion :).

Shout out to Gammy Bev for such an awesome party!!!

Thanks Grandma!

Grandma Bev's Halloween Weekend

This weekend was Grandma Bev's Halloween Party and its fun to have a reason to make it to Idaho Falls.  Will was very excited to get to ride on Uncle Justin's new four wheelers!

Once Justin started to pick up speed and go fast Will got completely scared!  It was so sad but he soon relaxed a bit and had some fun.

We all had some fun ;)

We got dressed up and headed to Gammy Bev's spooky halloween dinner!  Surprise 2 skeletons!!
