The Allen Family

Making Christmas cookies at Milly's house We went into Salt Lake, had dinner and drove around to look at Christmas lights one weekend. We found this house that had 40,000 lights strung. I tried to convince Chris we need to do this next year! HEE HEE ya right! Ryker loves to take pictures of Sissy with my phone Chris, Bret and Tulsa took the boys tubing down the powerhouse hill. I was so sad I missed out but Larkyn was really sick so I stayed home with her. They had so much fun. I cannot believe what a dare devil Ryker has become. We had such a bad snow storm the week before Christmas. I was taking Ryker to preschool and got stuck 3 times. I was in such a bad mood because the roads were so bad that all I wanted to was go home and stay home. I thought I was in the clear coming up my street but I thought wrong as I got stuck trying to pull IN my driveway. I have not seen that much snow come down in Grantsville in a long time. I was so thankful to my Dad and ...

This was out first year to have Holly & Bernard join our Christmas fun! We all had a blast seeing what there next trick was.

The Clark Farm put on a live Nativity scene. It was beautifully done and so peaceful. That is the true magic of Christmas. We are blessed to live in such a great small town.   I think Grandma really wanted to take the camel home or at least get a kiss.   Poor Ryker came down with the stomach bug Larkyn and I had. I took him to the doctor since he had a bad fever which we didn't have. I thought for sure he had the flu but I guess the flu is more upper respiratory. So were sent home with lots of rest, liquids and anti- nausea medication. Poor little man I don't think I have ever seen him so sick. He had to miss 2 days of school which he hasn't missed any so far this year. Sleeping peacefully in the doctors office. 

Trying to get these two to take a cute picture together is next to impossible. They looked so cute in their matching pajamas. All aboard! Our huge group practically filled up one car I love my Sissy and Bret TRUE LOVE That is were she wanted to sit. Cute pose Sis! Goofy boys How in the world is Briggs getting so big? What's out there? Larkyn and her bestie Aunt Dora Trying to find the North Pole! Miss Adalyn and Sis playing Ryker had number 12 for the "12 days of Christmas" song They were so excited to talk to Santa Larkyn was actually okay with seeing Santa because she was safe in Daddy's arms She LOVED her bell Ryker rode with Grandma on the way home so I only got a picture of this angel crashed out from our fun adventure. We look forward to the Polar Express every year and it never disappoints. Its a great time with our family and friends to make Christmas memories.

This was our first trip to the zoo lights and it was such a fun experience. The Grinch was so realistic I was so amazed Grandma and Erwin The Zoo really did an amazing job with all the lights. We wish the animals were more active but it was great time anyways. Some of our little birds Sword fights Larkyn loved her glow star thing Best friends Such cute kiddos Larkyn loved watching the kitty  Ryker was able to write Santa a letter. Of course he wrote he wants an Ipad. Lord help me this kid is only 5 and wants such extravagant gifts.    Larkyn didn't want much to do with Santa but Ryker was all about telling him what he WANTS! Mailing his letter These lovies were wore out from all the fun. It was a great time that I think we will have to do every year.
