Kynda's Birthday

So I didn't post this last week, because there comes a point in life when celebrating another birthday just isn't that big of a deal. But I'm so rarely in front of the camera, it may be the last picture of me for quite a while. It was a great day though. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful husband and children!

Christmas Caroling

Last night we went caroling with some neighbors. It was the kids first experience caroling and they had a blast! It was so much fun to see the reactions of different people in the neighborhood. We hope to make it an annual tradition.

The Lights on Temple Square

This was Hailey's first trip to see the lights on Temple Square. We've been so busy the last few years, we haven't taken a trip in a while. It was just as beautiful (and cold) as I remember!

Bumps & Bruises

Poor Josh! A massive goose egg, a cut lip, bruises and scraps on his face and his knee -- all results from tripping and falling at recess. A trip to the doctor let us know he had a mild concussion. Josh said it wasn't a big deal. He was more concerned about not being allowed outside at recess tomorrow and having to spend the rest of today laying down!

A friend in Josh's class says he is "awesome tough." Josh didn't cry after falling. He just got up and said he needed to go to the office. At the office, he calmly asked for an ice pack. The secretary, a friend of mine, was really impressed with how unruffled Josh was with the whole situation. He's a pretty tough kid!
