Thompson Family Christmas Party

We got together for a family Christmas party at Wilkerson's house this year. We did a web cam with Gramma and Grandpa so they could be part of the party too! The kids got to talk to them one on one, and got to open their presents so they could see. It was fun. The kids had a good time together. It was a lot of fun.

This is Bailee and Scott dancing!

Forrest got a "pimp" hat!!!!

The boys talking to Grandma and Grandpa via webcam

TJ got a hat with cup holders and a straw, the kids got a kick out of it!

Matthew's turn

Makayla models it best!!!!

Visiting Santa

The kids each got to see santa early this year. The girls each told him what they wanted. (each a 3 musketeers Barbie) Matthew, however, got a little shy. But I told Santa that Matt wants a BIG truck!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We put the tree up at the beginning of Dec. Keeping the tradition of letting the kids choose a new ornament to hang on it. This year Kayla chose a horse, lyss chose Pinki Pie (her favorite my little Pony) and Matt chose an Elmo with a Santa hat on! They love each putting up their ornaments from years past. Makes it so much fun to watch them hang the ornaments on the tree. :)

Tree house museum

We went to the Ogden Tree House Museum with Chelse and Mac. Our kids played with everything. Some longer than others. Matthew really like the fire truck and trains the most. Whereas the girls favored the castle, dress ups and horses! But it was a fun afternoon!

1st snow of the season

The 1st time it snows each year, the kids get so excited and beg and beg to go play in it. Even if there's not enough to really play in. So I get them all bundled up and they go play just long enough to remember that its COLD! Then they all come tromping back in wanting hot cocoa! I swear its not worth all the trouble...but yet we do it every year!

Matt & Makayla chose to jump on the snow covered tramp.

Alyssa was playing on the snow covered swing set

Snow ball fight on the tramp!

Then she chose to shovel the grass!

Matt had enough after like 10 mins. then it was time for "hot cha-lick"

Princesses on ice

We took the girls to Disney's Princesses on ice. They had so much fun. By the look of their faces, you'd have thought they'd died and gone to heaven watching the show. And we had awesome seats, just a few rows up from the really expensive seats. You could see the princesses faces and everything. It was SO much fun. The girls had a great time! :)

We ran into Alyssa's friend Addy during intermission!
