CHRISTMAS!

We had a Great Christmas! My family had Christmas together up at a Lodge at Snydermill near Park City. It was so fun to be all together.

My mom gave all of the grandkids Christmas pj's on Christmas Eve and my sister Camie made cute fleece blankets for all of them.

These are all of my cousins (except one) on my Dad's side and my Grandpa Miles. We had a great Christmas party!

The Sunday Before Christmas

We had fun going to see the lights at Temple Square!

The boys looked handsome for church! (Taylor has a candycane that he stole off of one of the presents under the tree.)

Kjar Christmas Party

Last Saturday we had a fun family Christmas party with Matt's family. His parents are going to be visiting Merry and Maria and their families for Christmas and so we had an early Christmas with them. The boys could not wait to open presents. We had a great time! Grandma and Grandpa, you were too good to us!

The Play Room is Complete!

The boys have really enjoyed having our pirate ship/castle room done. Matt has made it so that they can go all around the room whether it's on the monkey bars, zip line, rock wall, and ledges. It's definitely a room for boys.

These are the stairs going up to the second level of the ship and let's not forget the treasure!

This is Jackson on the second level of the ship.

Jackson and the treasure map. The platform that he is on could be made into a bed too (and there's another right above it.)

Seth is ready to go on the zip line which goes over to the love sack.

Spencer is showing the rock wall. The room was definitely a joint effort...Matt and Jake framed it, Matt and our home teacher did the electrical, Juan and his crew did the finish work, Jan and Lisa were our awesome painters, and our friends Melanie and Brad Christensen helped us with our carpet. Thank you everyone for your help!

Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma Kjar's

The boys had a lot of fun four wheeling up in the hills behind Grandma and Grandpa's house!

We went bowling after a great Thanksgiving dinner and had a great time.

A picture of our little pilgrims and indian. We had a great time in Aurora and loved being with our family. We have so much to be thankful for and we had a great thanksgiving!

Reflections

Jackson placed in his age group for 3-D arts! He built a school out of scraps of wood that we had from the basement and he painted it. He has his Dad's talent of putting things together! It's moving on to the next level or we would have a picture of it. Great job Jackson!
Spencer also placed in his age group for visual arts. He painted a picture of the sun and planets and it's moving on as well. Spencer has always loved art and he is talented. We are so proud of you Spence!

Jackson's First Pack Meeting

Jackson won 3rd place for the fastest car in the pinewood derby! He also got an award for the college educated car because it was a University of Louisville car. Great job Jackson....and Dad too for helping:) He also received his bobcat!
