Valentine's Day 2012

Kennadee's Valentine's Day outfit

Class Party:

 Her Valentine's Box won first place by a vote taken by the class.

 Kennadee and her teacher Mrs. Stewart

 Russell and I's Valentine's Dinner. My sister and I got a really good deal on Lobster tails but it turns out I don't know how to cook them very well because they didn't turn out great. But the steaks were good!

I did a balloon attack for Russell each balloon had something on it that I love about him. 

My Birthday

 The day of my Birthday was the day we took Russell to the airport so he could make it back in time to get back to work. After we dropped him off we went to my Aunt & Uncle's house and my Uncle convinced my Mom to buy me a birthday cake! It was so good! I love store bought cakes with Raspberry filling! MMMMM!!!! 

 After we ate cake and visited there we headed out to my Grandma Mote & Aunt Michele's They decked out their house and had cake and birthday hats waiting for us! It was so cute. We visited with them for a bit and then we went and met with some of my friends at Leatherby's.

 

New Year's Eve

 New Year's Eve Jessica and Cole came over to Mom's to play games and do our traditional New Year's Eve stuff. The evening started with haircuts/colors from John. Then we played games. Then we all dared Pete to shave his mustache. It ended up being a bribe and we ended up paying him like 50 dollars to do it! It was so funny! I don't even remember the last time I had seen him without a mustache! He still has it off now!

Christmas with the Eldredge/Bolton's

A couple days after Christmas we headed up to Russell's mom's house for a Christmas get together with his family. It was super fun! We had delicious Shrimp/Corn Chowder, Mom made everyone quilts which were beautiful as always! And since we drew names this year each family opened a gift from one of the other families. We had Sam & Dee's Family. We got them movie tickets and then we brought each of their kiddos a soda and chips to open. John & Jessica drew us and they got Russell an awesome Boise State hoodie, Me a gift basket with lots of goodies in it and some cute stuff for Kennadee. We had a blast visiting with everyone!

The Family

We have not been together as a whole family for who knows how long and there has not been a gathering of more than two of us kids with the parents for a long time so this picture is monumental since we have 4 out of 5 of us siblings plus grandpa! Missed you Diana!

 Yes I'm the shortest in the family by a long shot!
