Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2013

Its always fun to give the kids their Christmas PJ's on Christmas Eve and see them open presents in them Christmas morning. We had the missionaries over for Christmas dinner as well.

I took pics of little Carly Hughes that I nanny for. She is so cute. The whole family adores her.

Loren, Mishonne, Logan, and Haley got to perform in the First Annual Stake Christmas Pageant. It was beautifully done.

Family Christmas Card

Christmas Sunday

We had a nice Christmas program at church today. It was fun to see everyone in their Christmas clothes. Denton and Aliyah and I went to this caboose we always want to stop but never do. It is next to an office building. We had fun taking pictures of eachother.

Mishonne's Sweet 16 Surprize Birhday Party

We had so much fun planning a surprize birthday party for Mishonne. Most of her friends were able to make it. Some were from school, church, and sports. Mishonne was so excited. Aliyah gives Mishonne her home made card...so sweet.

Everyone hides behind the couch when we hear Mishonne coming.

Surprize!!!

Grandma made a special carrot cake for Mishonne and we played a who knows Mishonne best game. It was an M&M theme since her initials are MMM. It was a special night.

It is so weird that Mishonne is enveloped by so many Laurens in her life...lol. Here she is with Lauren Little, Lauren Long, Lauren Pearson, Lauren Jackson, and of course her dad Loren.

Loren gives Mishonne a special Daddy gift of diamond earings for her Sweet 16th.

Mishonne's Sophomore year Playing Volleyball at DtHS

Mishonne had a successful year in volleyball. She got to play a good deal of Varsity as well as J.V. this year. It was fun to see her improve as a hitter.

Grandma Visits for Mishonne's Sweet 16

Grandma Maryann was able to come visit us and help us celebrate Mishonne's 16th birthday. The kids love making cookies with her.
