Merry Christmas. The month started out with a couple of needed haircuts. The girls love their new shorter hair and Mom loves less tangles and tears. Aly also had her first piano recital. She played jingle bells and Rudolph and did great!
We had our anual Santa Lucia program on the 23. We greatly missed Grandma and Grandpa Brinley, it just isn't the same without them. Aly was our Santa Lucia even though she was fighting a high temp.
We did homemade sibling gifts again this year and the kids did a GREAT job. Girls got magnet boards made by Katy and Cannon (OK, mom), Jake made a personalized hook board for Katy, Aly and Emily sewed BYU hats for the boys, Jane made and fun cover for Emily's babybook, and Hunter made a personalized puzzle for Cannon. Everyone loved making and receiving their gifts.
We had a great Christmas despite half of us fighting a severe cold flu bug. Cannon was in seventh heaven on his new 4 wheeler from Uncle Don. Can't wait for the sidewalks to be cleard from snow so he go ride it.
Emily, Hunter and Jake all got sleds for Christmas and thankfully we had some great snow New Year's Eve to test them out. We had a great time sledding with cousins at Rock Canyon.
Jacob got a broken hand from our fun sledding day but has been a great sport about it. Both boys got contacts for Christmas and look so handsome. They love seeing without glasses!
