December

Jackson is really growing up! Thank heavens.

I've never seen this picture, but I imagine it was after Tyler's last basketball game. :)

These two are so cute together! Good little friends.

Mckinley got the cutest Christmas craft book from a friend and we had a blast with it!

Ava's last day of Joy School before Christmas Break was a tea party and she was so excited! She got all dolled up.

I love her outfits when she dresses herself!

Brandon and I decided to take the kids to Golden Corral to see how they would do with a buffet. We thought it would be so great and that Tyler would find lots of foods he likes. This was his first plate. A roll, chips, and pepperoni.  Sheesh. It was fun anyway!

 

Christmas prep

After Thanksgiving was over the kids were so excited to decorate. I love that they do all the decorating!

We made gingerbread houses.

We love this Christmas blanket my mom made us. So fun to just get it out at Christmas time.

French toast Christmas trees for dinner one night.

And then off to Riverwoods to see Santa. The lights there are so amazing. I don't even feel the need to go up to Temple Square with how amazing the lights are at Riverwoods. Such a good time.

Tyler's basketball season got suspended with COVID but was finally able to resume. They have asked that only one parent attend games so I finally got to go once. Brandon is the assistant coach so he usually just takes him. Such a weird year this year.

 

November

Mckinley looked so cute (thanks to a borrowed costume) for her wax museum project at school. She presented on Clara Barton who started the American Red Cross. She was so excited for this project and I was so proud of all the work she did on her own for it!

Beautiful fall sunsets.

Finally added a few things to the shelves in our computer room. Not that anyone even sees this room but oh well...

Jackson loves getting rides on Dad's foot.

Took a fun weekend trip to Park City for Salmon Insurance...Christmas party I guess? We had a great time. First time we had left our kids overnight in a year!

Megan told us all about an awesome zoo deal with $2 tickets so the entire Salmon family went and we had a blast! I had been dying to go to the zoo. 

We hosted the Salmon's at our house for Thanksgiving this year. We had a great time! So glad we were still able to do holidays normally even amidst COVID.
