December

Parker annual Christmas party. Santa always makes a surprise visit.

Jayda FINALLY lost her first tooth. She is lucky because the dentist said she wouldn't lose one for almost another year.

We had our 20 week ultrasound to find out what the baby is. We had the tech put the results in an envelope and not tell us and then we took the envelope to Dick's market with a big box and had them fill it with either red for a girl or green for a boy. Bryce and I both knew it was a boy. Even the ultrasound tech accidentally said "his leg". Later that night we went to our ward Christmas party and then had our family come over to open up the box.
We opened it up and out came RED balloons! I was so shocked I cried. It was a weird rush of emotions.

Zoo lights with Nani and Papa was a blast. This whole tunnel of lights was constantly changing colors and making cool patterns.

Christmas day was at our house for the first time. Bentley got and Imaginext dinosaur, Jayda got her first "American Girl" doll and Anniston got kitchen tools and play food. They also got a tablet to share.

Christmas eve at Nani and Papa's

Tubing at Soldier Hollow. Jayda and I had the flu so we had to stay home. Bentley got to go with dad and being the dare devil he is, had a blast.

Anniston's birthday was at Chuck E Cheese with the whole family and then Landon and Melissa had to go to the airport straight from there.

Anniston remembered that Jayda had a barbie cake for her birthday so she wanted one for herself. I couldn't believe she remembered that because she was only 18 months at the time. I also wasn't going to pay $50 for a cake again so I tried to make one on my own......good thing she was only 2 and wasn't too picky.

Nani and Papa had passes to the Aquarium so they took the kids on a little date.

Jayda did a hip hop dance for the Christmas recital. She did fabulous and said that hip hop is her favorite style of dance so far.

Home Depot kids classes are the best. We try to make it every month.

Grand America Christmas around the world display and giant gingerbread house with the girls.

November

November was a month full of 1sts. We went to the opening day of Moana. This was Anniston's 1st movie in a theater and she loved it. She loved the popcorn of course and stayed put for most of the movie.

We also built our first fire in our fireplace. It was fun to do, but provided basically no heat to our house and made it smell like we had been camping. Still, the kids loved it and begged to do it every night.

We also took down our first wall. Well, Bryce did. My dad helped us get a used fridge with a water line in it but it was about 1 inch too wide so we decided to take down the wall. It actually opened up the kitchen a bit and was an improvement.

I threw a baby shower for Jenae with our family and her mom. We made a keepsake ABC book for the baby and had soup and salad. It was a lot of fun to be around so many people I love and be able to celebrate my first little niece or nephew coming.
