Dance Recital

Brinley had a dance recital and did AMAZING! She did one ballet performance and a tumbling routine.  Darren and I even participated.  Since it was near Christmas, the instructor want a depiction of the nativity.  So Darren and I were Mary and Joseph.

Christmas

Christmas was a special one this year.  It was the first time we spent it away from Utah and were able to spend the day together as a family.  Landon and Jen came over for Christmas dinner that night, but other than that, it was just us.  I thought I would be sad about not being with more family, but it was absolutely perfect! There was no rush to be anywhere or do anything but be together opening presents, watching movies and just being together. Nothing better.
 Poor Brinley got sick first thing in the morning while opening her stocking.  She threw up all over, but was still a champ and had a good time opening presents.  Once it was over, she went straight to bed.  She was feeling a little better later that night.  I feel so bad that she felt miserable on Christmas.

Brinley got an art kit and was in heaven (when she wasn't in bed)
I didn't get very many picture because our camera died.  Boo.

Christmas Fun

We went to a mall where they had fake snow and Santa.  Let me tell you, that fake snow was a hit with the kiddos.
