Kids in December and 10 years

We've had a fun cousin over a few times to play with Brett during the day.  They stay busy building houses and stuff like that.  :)

 Camille woke up from her nap one day with a fever.  You know this busy girl isn't feeling well when she just wants to lay down and snuggle.  Luckily the fever went away that night and she was herself again the next day.

 Eating popcorn from the big bowl.

 Keith was in charge of our ward's breakfast with Santa.  I helped decorate.  Our friends have this awesome Santa chair.  We were so excited to be able to use it.  Keith's dad got to be Santa since the real Santa was busy getting ready for Christmas.  Our boys totally figured it out, but were good at not sharing the secret.

 We scored a rubber ducky nativity set as a white elephant gift.  Camille thinks it's pretty awesome!

 Brett and I made gingerbread men and trees.  We ate a few and then put the rest in the freezer for next week.

 Christmas dancing in the family room!

Keith and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary this weekend.

We took our family pictures at the Mesa Temple this year to mark the occasion.

A little over 10 years ago this handsome man of mine proposed to me at this spot.

This is the day I went to the temple for the first time.

Afterwards Keith promptly took me to buy my first set of golf clubs!  :)

 We went to San Diego for our honeymoon.  My, we sure look young here!

 10 years later we've added these three cuties to our family, plus their baby brother who's busy growing in my tummy.  :)

Happy 10 years Keith!  And many more to come!

An update

Thanksgiving....  After Keith and a bunch of other guys played football at the park (and practically killed themselves doing it.  Really, they think they are so young and then they can't walk the next day!), we went on a walk as a family before heading home so I could make rolls.  I had my pies made the night before so it was great to just have one thing to do.  We headed to my brothers house in the late afternoon and enjoyed the best turkey I've ever had.  My brother was in charge of the turkey and he brined it and cooked it to perfection.  I'm still dreaming about that stuff!  All the other food was amazing too!!!

The kids all had tons of fun running around with each other.

The next day we spent at home, with Christmas music playing non-stop, setting up Christmas decor.

Camille loved our Little People nativity this year.  She's played with it a ton!

The boys set up the Christmas train.

We got the tree up.  As much as I LOVE a real tree, it sure is nice to pop it up and have the lights on it already.  Especially when there are eager little people waiting for Mom to get done with the matching ornaments so they can put on all the rest.

Camille playing with the nativity again that night.

She also can't get enough of these Santa hats.  She wears one every day.

Handsome coat boy before heading out to school.  It was so cold here after Thanksgiving!

 Coat girl!

 As I was doing some baking the other day, Camille was busy at the sink "washing" dishes.

I think she's really going to love what I've heard Santa is going to bring her this year!

 Our Relief Society hosted another Backyard Bethlehem complete with Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, live animals, shepherds, and music.  It was lovely.  They opened it up for bringing families, friends, and neighbors this past Sunday and there were about 300 people that came!

Keith took our packages and cards to the post office this morning and most of our Christmas treats have been delivered.  I'm excited to make a few more treats just for us and start relaxing a bit more.  Just a week and a half left of school before the kids will all be home.  I'm so excited!
