December

Eliason family reunion…

Pancakes and Pajamas at the school. Mom took Sami and Trey to that since I was at a volleyball tournament and Kenny was a training with Elder Anderson. Trey sang in the choir and I was glad that mom got to hear him since she’ll miss his choir concert when she has knee surgery.

Kayli’s team won the second volleyball tournament!

Ward Christmas party… Kenny and I were at the Tingey Law Firm work party so we didn’t get to go but Grandma and Grandpa Eliason went with the kids.

Sami and mommy Christmas shopping date…

The Santa Shoppe at the school is so fun for the kids. I help work it and I love watching the kids come in so excited to shop for their families. Sami and Trey both picked out some good gifts. I Was able to get a picture of Trey. He couldn’t help but smile shopping around there.

The Giving Machines are another favorite thing we do at Christmastime and it’s fun to walk around Downtown Summerlin and ride the train!

The Christmas Express is one of our favorite things to do at Chrismastime!

Sami got the Citizenship Award at school…

Dress up days… stressful but fun!

Trey joined the choir at school and they had a fun Christmas concert. He was like an angel shining bright the way the lights hit him in the face. He was squinting the entire time he sang. It made us laugh though!

Downtown Summerlin Christmas parade with friends…

Taylor family Christmas party…

Kayli earned all A’s and one B which was an 89.37% and an A is 89.5% so she was pretty bummed about that one B that was so close to an A. She went to school on crutches one day when her knees hurt so bad. She is babysitting lots and very involved with our ward choir for the Christmas program.

Beau worked really hard during his first semester of middle school. It hasn’t been easy but he is getting the hang of it all! He finished the semester with all A’s and one B (in Science which was a very hard class!) He had to read a lot of books for his English class but has liked a lot of the books he’s learned about this semester. He’s found he likes reading historical fiction- especially books about World War II. He moved from defense to center in his hockey time and he has really helped his team with goals and assists. He also started on a volleyball team with Owen, Bennett, and Chandler and loves his new teammates too.

Trey earned straight A’s. He pretty much runs around the neighborhood all day playing with friends. He’s getting too big. And I love this face..

Sami is our little reader! She is reading so much and I love it! She also earned straight A’s.

A few more… Kenny and I accidentally matching… we showed up to our doctor appointments completely matching. We didn’t see each other that morning so we had no idea. And Trey made me a cute present. It had a coupon book inside that I have been using.
