• Brynn has been wanting to invite some of her friends over from class but since I didn't know a could of the other moms too well I kept putting it off. Finally we decided to throw a holiday craft party! She had four other girls come over and Addy invited Hailey over to craft. I completely forgot to take any pictures of the girls while they were here but here a picture of the mess left behind. I'm glad they all had a good time! 

• Thursday night Brynn had to go right from her swim team practice over to dress rehearsal/picture night for her jazz/hip hop class dance recital. This is us in the locker room trying to get her hair dried in the curlers in a record amount of time.

• Friday after school Addy went over to a friend's house and Brynn missed her ride so she walked over with them. By the time I went to go pick up Brynn ten minutes later I found her crying because she had JUMPED OFF THEIR ROOF! WHAT? Addy was kind enough to let her go first because 'youngest to oldest'! And she informed me that they had three pillows on the ground. Well, Brynn really hurt her ankle and had to limp through her dance recital later that night. Sometimes you just don't get what your kids are thinking! All I can say is...Brynn the Brave!
• I do LOVE her in her dance costume. So adorable!

•  Saturday, after Addy's basketball game (Brynn had to skip hers because of her ankle) we headed down to the Bassett Christmas Party at Chad and Terral's house in St. George. It was a really fun time. We love spending time with all of those Bassetts! We had dinner, divided up and play Minute to Win It games, had an adult nativity, and ended with our favorite Christmas stories. Pretty much perfect!

•  Us three sister in laws were the three angels. After all the husbands got dressed up as shepards and wise men we were laughing SO HARD because of their outfits. We were happy to keep with the angel hats!

•  The next morning after some swimming at the hotel we stopped back over at Chad's to play for a bit. I really love how the cousins are some of my kid's best friends. So blessed to have too influences around them:) 

•  It was a long drive back home the very next day but both Todd and I said what a enjoyable time we had. We feel so fortunate to have so much good family so close to us.
