Christmas 2011

We started our Christmas Eve with the Danielson's. Our Tradition is to eat lunch and then play Bingo. We look forward to it every year. Even the kids get to play and win prizes.

Bonnie made these adorable scarfs. I'm in love with them.

Christmas eve night we get together with my family. We have dinner, the nativity, hay ride/caroling, cousin gift exchange, and white elephant. Every year it gets better and better. *fun fact: anytime June hears music she'll start waving her hands like she is leading the music. She learned it from primary.

Christmas morning Justin and I woke up at 7am. We were too excited to keep waiting so we woke up the girls at 7:30. Seriously, who sleeps in Christmas morning? Lyvi had forgotten that it was christmas until we told her Santa came. She leaped out of bed and dug right in to the gifts.

Christmas dresses. I loved having Christmas fall on a Sunday.

We had a wonderful Christmas! We hope our Family and Friends did too.

Zoo lights

Monday night after searching for 15 minutes for a parking spot and then walking 1/2 mile to get in, we were finally able to enjoy the zoo lights with some of Justin's brothers and there families.

June was content with the view of the lights from her stroller.

The talking Giraffe. Lyvi wasn't amused by it.

Of course Lyvi wouldn't smile for me but for Bekah and Tyler she will.

After some convincing and paying 3 dollars each Justin and Bekah tried out the "Polar slide."

Definitely the highlight of my night.

15 months

Her Likes (in no particular order): Shoes, Bo (the dog aka her partner in crime) Lyvi, Music, Dancing, Animals, people (anyone who is willing to hold her), babies, her blanket, climbing, eating EVERYTING in sight, will do anything for a laugh and then will continue to do it over and over.

Her Dislikes: Sitting still.

I really can't think of any dislike. The girl is always happy!

Gilbert Days

Of course Gilbert days was Saturday and you know the Burr gang was there bright and early. I always feel terrible for the people who have to sit next to us. We get way to into, some of us (Justin) even end up losing our voices. Doesn't get much sweeter then this...Every year there is a basketball team that is in the parade. They have a basketball hoop on the back of their truck and they let people in the crowd try and shoot a basket from the crowd. Well the past 3 years Justin has tried and missed BUT this year he made it! I have no pictures of it but thank goodness my sister has it on video. He's only watched it 100 times.Also Justin got a picture with the "Suncity Poms". It was a big year for him!After the parade we always head over to my parents for Pizza and horse back riding. First time riding Snoopy. She loved it!And of course Lyvi did too.

I'm not sure how next years Gilbert days will be able to top this year.

Best day ever

Lyvi for weeks has been asking for "footie pajamas." While she was at school June and I picked some up at Costco. After picking Lyvi up from school we showed her what we picked up for her.

Lyvi: WOW! thanks mom!

Me: your welcome

(Couple minutes go by she then realized they weren't just pajamas they were "footie pajamas")

Lyvi: THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!

Halloween night

We went trick or treat in Justin's parents neighborhood. June went trick or treating to one house, got her sucker and spent the rest of the night enjoying her sucker in the wagon.Lyvi went to 4-5 houses and then asked to go back to Grandma and Grandpa's. She was more into handing candy out to the trick or treaters, not all the trick or treaters, she left the scary costumes for Grandpa.

Trunk or Treat

Best buddies Lyvi and Simeon. I love these two together. June bug was cruising all over
Tyler and Bekah had there annual halloween party so we were able to babysit Ruby. I thought my baby hunger was bad and then Ruby showed up in her costume and made it 10x worse!

The Girls

My lovely sister-in-law Lauren took some adorable picture of the girls. I must share... I wish I could claim the baby but its actually Tyler and Bekah's baby Girl. But I mean seriously she would fit perfectly;)

Thanks again Lauren for being so patient. You did great!

Halloween Party

Every year we look forward to the Ellsworth halloween party. Its a fun way for the cousins to show each other their costumes. This year Justin and I decided the night before to dress up as "The price is right" contestants. Alot of the adults dressed up which made it fun. Carly and Rush: Dog the bounty hunter & Beth
Courtney:"Flo" from the progressive commercial.
Mom: Gilbert day rodeo Queen
Jacob & Lexi: mario

Thanks Ellsworths! Job well done!
