Dawson family Christmas party

The whole Dawson family got together at Grandma and Grandpa Dawson's.  We had a great dinner, with fun games and activities.

 Grandma Ruth and Abigail have a special bond.  I tried to get a picture of them hugging, but this was right after.

 Sharla always puts together a saran wrap ball with tons of fun goodies and money for the kids.  They got a little competitive this year.

 checking out all of their loot.

 They really wanted to see Lola do her tricks.  Isaac plays with her so much, she eventually

 gets tired of it!

 Devin and Isaac are the best cousins.

I love my Dawson family!

Middle of December

 The kids are always at Clark and Tana's house.  They have the fun house in the neighborhood.

 Abigail did really well during this basketball season.

 The kids built the best snowman!

Grandma Barb told Carly that she built a snow toilet when she was younger... so Carly went right out and built one.

 Carly loved being on the same bball team with some good friends.  I think they socialized more than actual playing.

 My kids found the cute filters on Facebook messenger, and now are always begging to see my phone.

 When Luke gets home from school, Isaac gets so excited.  They usually find some

goofy things to do together.

 Abigail did wonderful in her school Christmas play.

 We had our annual Candle lit Chinese dinner.  

Abigail is 11!

Abigail is so kind a thoughtful.  She is motivated in school and church.  She is very creative with drawing and painting.  She loves to laugh and have a good time...sometimes she gets a little too crazy.  We love having this girl in our family!

 Abigail always chooses crepes for her special breakfast.

 She wanted to frost her own cake this year.  She did a great job!

 We had grandparents over for cake and ice cream.

 She received lots of fun gifts, and was so grateful.  She is one of the most grateful children I know.

I wanted a picture with all the kids and both sets of Grandparents.  They are very lucky to have such amazing grandparents on both sides of the family!

beginning of December

 My Dad needed a little help cutting down some branches from his tree.  I was glad to help, because  I got to use the chainsaw.

 Isaac made the cutest Santa coat and hat at preschool.. He does not like to wear it, but I bribed him long enough for one picture.

 Luke went to his first Jr. high dance!

 His friend took this picture, and sent it to me.

 We had our ward party.

 We froze at the Christmas village in Ogden.

 Isaac was so excited to meet Santa!

 After the Christmas village, we came home to my parent's to see cute little Jett.

The End of November

 We went and saw a movie the day after Thanksgiving.  Isaac is finally to the point, that he'll sit through one,  yay!

 Grandma Barb took us to the nutcracker!  The girls loved it!  I was sitting next to Hailey, and she was so mesmerized, she couldn't look away.  We can't wait for next year.

 I love when Isaac falls asleep with his arms behind his head.

 Grandma Barb made tons of sugar cookies for these kids to decorate cookies trees.

The kids love doing this each year!
