Temple Square

A family tradition that goes back a ways - a family tradition for most everyone as there were a lot of people. We even ran in to a bunch of neighbors. We took advantage of the warm weather a while back and it was so nice.









Mason has been dieing to go caroling around the neighborhood. Since nobody wants to hear Me, Matt and the boys sing, we decided to invite the neighbor friends over to make crafts and then go caroling. The kids were way cute. Luckily I was there to help them with the words at times :) Also, note to self - The 12 days of Christmas isn't the best caroling song, it's a little long...

Christmas Show Week

The boys had their Christmas show this week at Flips. They are involved in gymnastics and are loving it.

Ward Christmas

Our ward Christmas party was awesome. This was the gingerbread house we put together.


Mackay is a little freaked of Santa this year.


Matt put together this 'insta-stable'. Set the manger scene just right.


The kids were the sheep.

Baby Jackson Kyle

Well, he's here (as of a couple weeks now - a bit behind on blogging.) And he's cuter than ever! The boys couldn't wait to get their paws on this little hunk. Aunt Ali is doing great too!

Pics With Santa!

Our annual 'Photo's With Santa' party went off without a hitch. We always look forward to this time of year. Thanks to everybody that came to support us.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day started out with the tradition of the boys going out to shoot guns and kill thing (clay pigeons). The boys took advantage of the snow and brought a sled to do some sledding. Good times and more memories were made!









Thanksgiving dinner was at Aunt Em's house. With Grandma Hummer in town, it made the Draper family complete. Dinner was delicious! After dinner we all played games and then sent they boys out to get newspapers so we could find the black Friday deals.

The boys were dressed in their matching gap shirts - we love these boys. (Mackay just got done stuffing his mouth with a yummy roll when we took this pic).




Here's the die hard shoppers that headed to Michael's for some Black Friday Eve deals!


Update: Our new cousin/ nephew is STILL not here. C'mon little buddy, we want to hold you. Poor Alison...

Ice Hockey Night

Grandma Judy took us to a Grizzley Hockey game. The best part is that it was in a suite. We went with family and friends.





The boys were able to run around and rough house, and they did plenty of that.


It was all fun until there was a huge fight on the rink. Two guys just started punching each other and everybody backed off, including the referee's!!! The boys thought that was the coolest thing - as Matt started cheering it on! I had no idea they fought like that in hockey and was blown away that they didn't stop the fight until one person falls to the ground. Not my sport, and no, they boys won't be playing hockey when they get older ;)


Here's a random pic of the boys in the tub the other day. They get along so well and it is so fun to see them be best buds.


Aunt Allie is past her due date for her baby boy! She was at our house the other day and we decided to make her jump on the trampoline with the boys to try to bounce the baby out. No such luck! Baby Jackson is just taking his sweet time. We can't wait to hold him!
