Christmas Sing-A-Long

 Eating at Litza'a Pizza before the sing-a-long.

 Tysen was getting excited to see Santa.

 We all look so thrilled in this picture, not a good photo op.

 Nadya with two of her favorite people.

Carter loves the sing-a-long and knows the words to most of the songs.

Christmas is coming! Christmas is coming!

Christmas with Great Grandma and Grandpa Bramhall

 Giving Great Grandma her Christmas present.

 A present for Grandpa but my kids will open it.

 Tysen and Nadya's Christmas present from Great Grandma and Grandpa.

 This was the best form of entertainment through out the winter.

A car carrier or magic box or suit case just depends on the moment.

Thank you Mom and Dad for all that you do for our children we love that you get to visit often and that you are always just a phone call away. We love you very much and are lucky to have not only in our lives but the lives of our children as well.

Nadya loved to sit in the garage or watch on the sideline. I forced her to 

go outside for this picture she was a good sport.

12 Days of Christmas

We were so blessed by a secret friend this year with the 12 days of Christmas countdown. If you are the person then we want to THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts it was a rough year and this was such a fantastic way to end it and to remind us what Christmas is truly about.

Some of the secret gifts included play dough, coloring books and crayons, plastic animals, cereal, candy canes and an entire meal (this one came on the right day and I started to cry when I saw it. You must have known it was just what I/we needed). My kids were so excited everyday to see what our new friends would leave us. Carter one day said that we needed to make our secret friends cookies to thank them and that's what we all did. Carter also mentioned that he would like to do this for a family next year. I am so proud of my son and his thoughtfulness towards others. Can't wait to be the secret friend to someone sometime soon.

Christmas Decorating!

 Super EXCITED that they finally get to decorate the tree.

 Nadya was really careful with the ornaments. To hang one it took her near 

five minutes, no joke.

 After seeing Nadya do it Tysen all but threw it at the tree, he thought that was 

funnier plus he realized if he was fast he got to put more on.

 Carter begged and begged all month to get the tree up we wanted to wait till after his birthday. But from now on we will let him decide if he wants the tree up before or after his birthday.

 Mommies RARE photo appearance.

TADA! look what we did.

 Dad and Grandma Bramhall worked very hard on this Fire Fighter truck for Carter.

 Both sides gathered together to celebrate Carter's birthday.

 Nadya was not wanting to giver her present to Carter.

 Tysen could not wait to bonk Carter on the head.

 Our baby boy is 5!

The big revel. Can't tell that Carter is excited about his cake can you.

Thank you everyone for helping to make Carter feel very special on his Birthday.

Friends Birth Day Party

 Meeting the fire chief before the party started.

 The fire fighters taught them about fire safety before they saw the trucks.

 Carter was the first one to sit in the drivers seat, he was in heaven.

 All of his friends that were able to come.

 Playing pop the balloon to see if you win. None of them were heavy enough to pop the 

balloons so we had to assist.

 These are the 4 amigos. Austin is the one in the dark sweater. Bryce is in the striped shirt. Brent is in the light blue shirt. Carter loves to have play dates with all three of these boys.

Playing with "his best present ever" play dough.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Party held on December 7, 2012 at the Fire Station on 12600th riverton
