Last Day of Joy School

Today was Payton's last day of Joy School.

The rest of those cute kiddos will be continuing on after the New Year...but I've just been feeling the need to simplify things right now.  And the first thing to go was Joy School.  We'll most likely do gymnastics or something after Christmas and then Payton will have a whole year of actual preschool before starting Kindergarten, so I don't feel too bad about not continuing this for her.

We'll miss those boys though (and Talmage too, he was already gone for the holidays)!

 

Another Christmas Tradition

Every year, Kevin asks for the basketball Christmas package for Christmas...it's 4 Arizona home games held during Christmas break.  And it's now become a tradition to take the girls to one of those games for a daddy/daughter date.  The girls love doing this with their daddy...I think this may be the last year that Barrett will tolerate being left out though!

We may just have to buy more tickets next year! :-)

Nice List vs. Naughty List

Seriously...how could this kid EVER be on the Naughty List??? :-)

Winterhaven 2012

For Family Home Evening tonight, we went over to our good friends the Chesley's for pizza, then we headed to Winterhaven to see the lights.  It always amazes me how much the residents of Winterhaven do to make this festival of lights possible...huge shout out to them!!!  It wasn't as cold this year, which made it much more enjoyable for all.  We had a great time doing another of our Christmas traditions!
