We don't need a puppy....we have kids!

So I am sure that all kids love pretending to be puppies...at least mine do. Jackson taught our puppies, Alex, Dylan, and especially Griffin how to fetch today. They even learned useful tricks like sit, speak, roll over, no bite, and drop it! I know that these are skills that will come in handy their entire lives and am grateful that Jackson (AKA "Dog Whisperer") took time out of his busy schedule to teach these lessons.

I only got video of the fetching. I'm not hip enough to take the time to put it on here. Just imagine how thrilling it was.

Too bad I only got a picture of one puppy eating.

All three were gathered around the bowl at one point.

Then we headed over to the Gorringe's for another Christmas Eve celebration.

Alex played the Sheep in the nativity....she insisted she was a bunny.

Dylan played an angel and Devin was Joseph


Dylan and Alex were so glad to be twinners after they opened
matching pants from Grandma Gorringe





And all gathered to behold that baby Jesus (played by baby Ryan...born last week)

We hopped on Trax and headed downtown to temple square. We have been meaning to do this activity for years and now that we don't have a little baby or I am not pregnant we went for it. It was certainly an adventure to ride on the train with four little kiddos. Alex kept asking, " I wonder when the conductor will come out."

We met up with my sister, Amber, who brought festive 3D glasses for everyone. Depending on which glasses you received you would see snowflakes, gingerbread, snowmen, or candy canes when you looked at all the lights.

This is a picture behind the glasses. Can you see the snowflakes?

At least the camera focused on something - here's the family.

Fine.....I will put something new up!

Miracles do happen. I am blogging. It's been too long. We have been busy with life as you all are. I am just not talented enough to fit blogging in too. Soccer, Kindergarten, preschool, football, laundry, naps....are just some of the things I have been doing. And I will let the pictures speak for themselves......
