Winsor Christmas Party



Tonight was our Winsor Christmas party at Rebecca's house! It was so much fun. We ate delicious food (thanks Bret), played fun games, and acted out the nativity. Easton and Allie were Joseph and Mary! I am so proud of the costume I came up with at the last minute.

We ate homemade rolls, rice, ham, and salad for dinner. We played the white elephant game, the newspaper game, a guessing game, as well as snatch grabs--a Spilsbury tradition! Easton won a jar of the mini marshmallows during the white elephant game! I am so excited. I absolutely love the hard mini marshmallows.


Grandma and Darien came this year, which made the party even better.  It is always fun to be with family.  I am not sure if Grandma ended up with the glasses or not, but as you guessed, they are a white elephant present.

We are looking forward to spending more time with everyone this weekend!

Our Christmas Tree!


We put our Christmas tree up on the 3rd of November! As of right now, all of the ornaments that were on the bottom half of the tree are underneath the tree with all of the presents. I am so excited that I am finished buying ornaments.  Kari took me to an awesome store where I bought my star, the stocking ornaments, and the believe ornaments.  Thank you Kari!

Christmas Decorating!


We stopped in Leamington on our way back from St. George. Dad took us on a four-wheeler ride, which was fun. My mom and I decorated the house/Christmas trees (with the help of Amy's girls) while Dad and John hung the lights outside. It was a great year to hang lights because it wasn't freezing cold. Kadee didn't like Santa too much, but Alexis was having a blast dancing with him. It was a great night!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving in St. George! John had a ton of fun playing regular Nintendo Tecmo Super Bowl. They played an entire season so the guys spent many hours playing throughout the weekend. John was the Raiders, of course. Thanksgiving night, Amy and I went to the outlet malls. Marc, Diane, and Diane's sister went as well! We really don't want to discuss this night. On BLACK FRIDAY, I went shopping with Amy and Kari. It was fun! During this four day weekend, I learned how to play Upwords. That is a really fun game, but it takes a little time getting used to it. John also played flag football. Easton and I were going to watch it, but we were poured on so we left. It was great being with family.

Fun Weekend

We had a great time the weekend before Thanksgiving.
  • We had delicious stew and scones.
  • We visited for hours and hours.
  • We played lots of games.
  • Utah beat BYU.
  • Mike rode the cart and pony.
  • Tristan was blessed.
  • We celebrated JaCee's birthday.
  • The list can go on and on...
One of the best things ever is being with family.  It was also so much fun seeing Mike, Liz, and their four boys.
