November and December

A few days after we got back from Hawaii I had a hysterectomy. That day was crazy hair day and I was so glad I was home in the morning to do Ava's cute crazy hair because I ended up staying overnight in the hospital even though I wasn't planning on it. We went Hawaiian style to celebrate our trip, ha ha. 

Cute Jackson is growing up fast! Doing chores!

Mckinley loves to read and is so grown up and mature.

My favorite school project! Disguise a turkey.

Ava spoke in Stake Conference! She was adorable and got so many comments about it.

Mckinley's art skills are becoming more and more impressive all the time.

Tyler played volleyball through Vineyard Rec with Brandon as his coach and absolutely loved it! He's ready to switch from soccer to volleyball.

At our ward Christmas party, they put on the most incredible nativity shadow play that had me so emotional! 

Had to get out early to see Santa at Riverwoods.

Tyler and Kallie's ancient civilization fair. China and Greece.

We bought a pass to the Hive to use over Christmas break and ended up going 7 times! It is such a fun place!

Nativity at Grandpa and Marmee's. Jackson was Joseph and Ava was the angel.

A quick visit from Santa for a picture after. Pretty random, but whatevs.

Mckinley painted this ceiling tile that will go up on the ceiling at Lakeridge somewhere. She painted a picture of herself from behind running, with this cute quote! I couldn't love it more.

We went to quite a few movies over the break. Red, Mufasa, Moana 2, and Sonic 3.
