Christmas break

I love Christmas break...the after Christmas part.

All the hoopla is over and we can just relax and play.

We went and saw some movies. 

Goosebumps was a fav.

Ryan took Rylie to  U basketball game.

 

We found our way to Yogurt stop.

We went to Jungle Jims.

We went bowling with the Brookshires.

 We played A LOT of Legos.

Owen fell while cleaning the church so we made a stop to instacare.

Just a sprained ligament.

He was pretty pumped to see his bones in the x-ray.

My darling cousin came home from his mission and spoke at my parent's house

to all the family.  It was awesome!

I took Owen back to Jungle Jims with his friend Beckham.

We went to see the Utah Gymnastics compete against BYU.

 Ryan and I went out to dinner with the Brookshires

 and ate the fanciest meal I have ever had.

We ate at the Waldorf's restaurant, Powder.

This pic is just the appetizers.

We also changed the kids rooms around.

They were pretty excited about it... and apparently Ryan was too. 

Christmas Day

The day started off with our own Christmas morning.  We woke the kids up at 8:00.  

(I am still searching my computer for those pictures.)

My parents and Kim arrived at 9:00 to give their gifts.

The only thing Owen consistently asked for was a dinosaur game. 

When he opened it, he literary started to cry happy tears.  It was adorable.

He also got another game and Legos.

 He gave my dad the biggest hug.  Look at his legs.  He was thrilled.

 Liv got a rose gold watch, lipgloss, shirt and scarf.  Just what she wanted.

Rylie got a huge surprise.  An American Girl doll.  

She was so surprised.  Her name is Grace and she is from Paris.

 

Dru got a couple of Alex and Ani bracelets and a scarf.

 Thanks mom, dad and Kim for another amazing Christmas!

Next up, Christmas at the Martins.

We missed Aunt Ade and Uncle Loren, Aunt Rayne and Uncle Tom!!!

Owen got these cool dino rings in his stocking.

 He loves Legos and Star Wars so this set was perfect!

Liv got a beautiful Necklace from New York and a sweater.

 Dru got a cute bag to take babysitting and joggers.

 Owen was thrilled to open up this one.  His very own scooter.

  He loved watching Hazel open up her gifts. 

  What a wonderful Christmas.  We love being part of the Martin family!

 

 Back to the Fentons!

 My mom made her famous Christmas brunch.  

 The grandkids did a book exchange and the adults did the white elephant game.  It was perfect.

 We ended the night with a talent show. 

Uncle Ryan's talent is teasing.

Winston and Henry showed off their awesome art.

Bubba played a medley.

Dru and my dad recited the "Touch of the Master's Hand" together by memory.

Owen sang a couple songs from school.

 Cooper played the piano.

Darcy played as well.

Boden sang a primary song.

Fenton Christmas tradition

  December is jammed pack with fun traditions.  

One of our favorites is Christmas pjs and the nativity.

The Fenton family is growing and the cousins are in heaven.

 Face Time with Heidi.  

We love and miss her!  

When I say "smile" with the camera in my hand uncle Bubba

 usually closes his eyes or makes this face. 

We had a fun new surprise this year...SANTA CAME!

The kids were beyond thrilled.

Everyone got a turn on Santa's lap and got a chocolate bar.

He was THE BEST Santa!

December weekend

Dru wanted to surprise one of her best friends with a party!

She bought most of the supplies and invited all their friends.

Her theme was glow in the dark.

Her invite said Let's "glow" crazy.

We met at the church and surprised Ellie.  

They ate, played games and ran around and got super sweaty.

Dru has AWESOME friends! 

Hiding before the big surprise.

We also went swimming.

Owen has been begging to go for weeks.

We had the place to ourselves.

We went sledding down our stairs later that night.
