U of U Basketball Game

This past Saturday we went to the University of Utah's basketball game with my Parents, and Matt's family!  It was such a blast!  It's always fun visiting my Alma mater!

Winter Break Fun

I invited my Mom, Heather and the kids, and her Mom to come down and enjoy a Utah County Pass of all Passes Playdate!  We started out at the Lehi Seven Peaks Fun Center, then we went to the Orem Fun Center, then finished off with a movie!  All free with our pass of all passes!  It was a crazy fun filled day!!

NeW yEaRs DaY!!

We spent New Years Day at Hollywood Connections!!  We had a blast and a half!

These two love birds came with us!  And Matt's family joined us when they finally woke up!

Cambridge loved watching everything!  Sensory overload!!

Grandpa let the kids spin him and spin him and spin him!

Mini-Golfing!!  So much fun!

Boston wanted to play Grandpa in Air Hockey!

Then Mom decided to take a turn!

Then we all went Roller Skating, it was way awesome!  FUN FUN DAY to start the New Year off right!

Welcome 2014!!!

We had SUCH a fun New Years Eve!!  We got together with my parents and my friend Nicole and her husband and we wen out for Chinese food (Where my fortune said "Saturday is a good day for chores."  What kind of fortune is that?) then we played games until the magic hour!  We did fireworks too!  So much fun!!  I'm so excited for a new year!  Goodbye 2013!

Super Mom!!

I'm not the Super Mom.  My Mom is.  She rescued me from a total and complete melt down and took the kids for two days.  I simply can no thank her enough for the break!  The kids more then enjoyed the break from me!  They even got to go to Discovery Gateway!!  Lucky kids!

Playdates!

The wonderful thing about winter break is it actually gave us time to have a few of the kiddos friends over.  On this day we had Porter over for some sledding!!  Oh I wish it would snow some more, because my kids LOVE the snow!!!

Garner Family Christmas Party!

My Computer does NOT like me today.  So these pictures are not in any kind of order!  But let me tell you the Garner Family Christmas Party was SO MUCH FUN!  We ate an amazing assortment of yummyness, went sledding, played some fun games, frosted cookies, and exchanged gifts!  I think we all had a really great time!  Thanks Mom and Dad for yet another amazing party!

I asked my neighbor to make these mugs for me for Matt and Philip's families!  They turned out so awesome!!

Christmas Crainum!

While frosting cookies the kids were singing at the top of their lungs!  I LOVED it!

The whole crew

Funny Marshmallow game!

Christmas Day!

Hadley was the 1st one awake!  We woke everyone up and had a WONDERFUL Christmas morning!  The kids were all so cute about all their gifts.

Then came the best part... playing with new toys!!

My Mom and Dad came over for Christmas Lunch and brought gifts a plenty to spoil us.  They are oh so very kind!

We sure LOVED having them come!!

Grandpa helped Boston build his new Ninjago Lego Set

and my Mom and I helped Hadley build her Hello Kitty House!  It was such a fun, relaxing day celebrating our Savior and enjoying it with family!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was so much fun!  We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (which was FREE because they gave our food to the wrong table... so we had to wait a little longer!)

Then we went and saw the Thanksgiving Point lights for the 1st time!!  We loved it!!

Then we put out the reindeer food (who comes up with this stuff??) 

wrote a note, and left santa some cookies! 

Then we acted out the Nativity... which was the kids favorite part of the day/night!  Cambridge was to tired to stay awake and be baby Jesus... so we had a doll take his place. 

Boston labeled all the stockings with paper so that Santa would know who's was who's... 

Then we said goodnight! 

Family Christmas Sleepover!

On December 23rd my Mom and I finally got together to make our Christmas goodies!!  We made peanut butter cups, strussels, chocolate chip snowballs, and Oreo truffles!  YUM!

Then we headed back home for our Annual Family Christmas Sleepover!! Best Tradition Ever that my parents started with us!  We started out the night with Pizza and Rootbear Floats! 

Played some games! 

 

Then watched Turbo and all slept in the living room (except Cambridge) 

When we woke up, it was time for the annual pillow fight!  The kids favorite part.   

Then we had a yummy breakfast and  

Let the kids open their sibling gifts to each other!  They were so excited for each other to open their gifts.  It was adorable.
