Christmas Dance Recital

Kennedi had her dance recital the day after Christmas, and as usual, she got up there, shook her little groove thang, and entertained the crowd!!!  I had so many people come up to afterwards and tell me what a GREAT dancer she is!  I just sit and smile when she dances, she is one talented little girlie!!

Kenna and Payton, her dance partner and best buddy!

Christmas 2011

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas this year!  All of my family came to our house, sense we can barely fit all of our bodies in our car, let alone luggage AND presents!!

We had so much fun playing games, eating and eating, riding up on the mountain to play in the snow, and just being together as a family!  I wish I would have got more pictures of EVERYONE.....but, I didn't!!!

This kids were SOOOO excited!!!  Kenna got a Karaoke machine, Dax got a work station with lots of tools, and the babies got some toys!  I always love to see the expression on their faces Christmas morning..........it is priceless!!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

This year, we got our very first REAL Christmas tree!  Shane went up on the mountain and picked it out and I have to say he did pretty good other than he cut it about a foot too short.

I LOVE my house at Christmas time! I love buying more Christmas decor every year so that everywhere you look you see Christmas!!!

Ward Christmas Party!!

Love our house all lit up!

Christmas Program 2011

The elementary school did their annual Christmas Program the other night and this year was fun because every year the 2nd graders get to play the recorders and this year that's Kenna's class.

I must say, she thought she was pretty cool (as usual), but she was so cute up there and they did such a great job!  I'm always so proud of her.

Oh.....and I don't know how she does this, but, she NEVER sees where we come in and sit in the completely PACKED high school gym because she meets first in a classroom, and every time without fail, she spots us immediately and puts on her smile for my camera clear across the gym. LOL

November's happenings

 November seriously FLEW by, and here is a little bit of what the Knudsen family was up to.........

Bronse and Brody turned 5 MONTHS OLD!!!!  I can't believe they are getting so big!  They are so much fun, so smiley, hardly ever cry, and they roll over.

For the big Breaking Dawn premier, Heather and I drove to Moab where my mom and her friend rent out the theater and have a fun little party.  It was so fun, and my mom didn't let her first round of CHEMOTHERAPY keep her away!!

Me, Mom, Kenz, and Heather

Dax road on his first Merry-Go-Round while we were at the mall doing a little shopping and he loved it, although you can't tell from this pic!!

The babies love their little Bumbo's.....They think they are sooo big!

For Thanksgiving, we all went to Moab and had a great time!!  We played Pictionary Man EVERY NIGHT, and let me just say, things can get pretty heated with my family and games!!

I stole this wonderful picture collage from Heather's blog

We also did a little Black Friday shopping over in Grand Junction and we found this cute wig for my mom for 50% off!!



I don't think I can pull off a Blondie



Kennedi FINALLY lost this dangling tooth, and that's just because Dax accidentally kicked it out!

AND.......then I turned 31 yesterday, yuck!!!

And that was our November!!

Halloween 2011

 Halloween was so fun this year and weather was GREAT!!  On Friday night, we went to the elementary school carnival and the kids had lots of fun.  Dax actually let me dress him up this year and loved it.  Kennedi loved being a vampire, and her mouth of teeth were so funny because she had her fang in and she is missing on of her front teeth.  The babies we super cute of course dressed up as little monsters.

 On Halloween, we took all the kids out and went door to door until it got too cold for the babies, then Shane took them home and passed out candy while me and the kids went with some friends to MORE houses. 

 And of course we did some pumpkin carving! Shane and Dax did the one on the left and Kenna and I did the one on the right!
