December and January (Christmas in California)


Little lady is chilling while the kids had a dentist appointment. 


I took the cookie dough out of the kitchen aid and turned back around and found these two eating the cookie dough. 

Aj went poop in the potty and got a thomas toy for it. He was so proud of himself. 


Every year I throw a cookie and hot cocoa party. 
It's so much fun to taste all the cookies every one brings. 


It's a blurry picture but she looks so cute in those boots!


For joy school we went on a field trip to the Christmas tree lot. 
The kids and I had fun decorating these tree cookies for after the field trip. 






We love Costco smoothies 

Zack's school puts on a Christmas activity so the kids can see Santa. We were so excited that we were healthy enough to go this year. We went to Taco Bell before we headed there. 

Aj was so scared of Santa. 



After the activity we went to the temple. 


Kenna's first pony tail :)

We had fun waking up early to go to the Glendale Christmas Parade. 



Our new ward had a Christmas party and the boys loved making these ginger bread houses, but loved eating the candy more. 



This girl sums up how I feel about these cookies. 


I threw our Joy school Christmas party. 
It was a lot of fun!


Off to California for Christmas and for mommy and daddy to go on a cruise. 



Since we weren't gonna have time before Zack graduated Med school, we took his graduation/anniversary cruise while we were in california. My mom was so nice to watch the kiddos for us. 










Our anniversary desert. 




We had so much fun on our cruise, but were super happy to get back to the kiddos. 


Indian food with my parents. 

Uncle Bob wanted to take my boys out on a date to Burger King. Zack got to tag along and they had a blast. I have the best uncles. 

Someone didn't think he was tired but passed out snuggles Zack. 


On Christmas eve we acted out the Nativity. 
Tallin wanted to be the angel. 





Christmas Eve movie. 

We stayed up so late putting together all of the kids Santa toys. 
We were super tired the next morning. 







One of the best presents we gave our parents. 
My parents kept asking me if I was pregnant because I kept getting sick, hot flashes and was always tired. We never told them, until they opened their presents. 


Our Christmas outfits.


Our traditional presents picture. 







After Christmas we headed home to celebrate New Years Eve in Arizona. 
The kids were pretty tired from our trip. 


Our traditional new years pizza. 





Tallin is now in primary. 
He was a little scared at first but did great and even gave a talk his second week in primary. 

Sneaking a picture. He was upset in this picture though. 

Joy school activity to learn the word it. 



Kenna loves playing with her girl toys. 


My big four year old in his big boy seat. 

Aj had a ear infection, so we went to the doctor to get meds. 
He is all smiles here though. 




Grandma and papa Baxter came to visit us for a few days. 
They got to see Ballin give a talk. 



We had fun going to the movies with grandma and papa. 

This little stinker got into the wipes.
