Christmas 2012

Making gingerbread houses as a family.

Shortly before Christmas, we went to Peacock Farms and saw Santa. We got on a train and went to the North Pole to his cabin. Kinsley asked Santa for a toy horse and a toy dog. We drank hot chocolate and stood by the fire until the train came to pick us back up.

We went to Utah for Christmas.  It was a lot of fun but SO busy. We went to the cabin, St. George, and hung out with friends and family.

 

 Christmas Eve we met up with all the brothers and sistes at the Johnson's and got fun cute PJs from Sky's parents.

   

Later that night we went to the Moss side and did the Nativity with all the grandkids and ate yummy appetizers. 

All the grandkids got cute pjs to sleep in for christmas.

We started Christmas morning by opening presents at my parents house with Michelle, Haylie and Riley who were there too.

All the sisters came over a little bit later on Christmas morning and my mom made her famous brunch for all of us.

Heather came to visit in September of 2012. One of the days while she was here we went to Uncle John's Cider Mill, drank cider and ate donuts! 

 

Great Wolf Lodge





Bryan and Denece came to visit for Thanksgiving. We went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, Ohio. Kinsley of course loved it...story time, the food, and especially the waterslides. We might have to do this every year.





Halloween 2012

Kinsley wanted to be a pink fairy princess. My friend Jessica made her the cutest dress. We went to our friends trunk-or-treat. A couple days later went to the Honda dealership and got Kinsley's face painted, balloon animals and tons of candy.

AOA

Skyler was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. We went to the banquet and had a really nice dinner and they talked about the inductees individual accomplishments.

Camping

All of Cedarwood went camping in the backyard. Jared and Stephanie had there trailer out. Jess and Doug got their projector out and the kids watched a movie on the side of the house.

 We made a fire, told scary stories and roasted marshmallows. Kinsley and I found a cute frog which she and all the kids played with all night, until I thought it was going to die if we didn't let it go.

 Just some of the Cedarwood girls.

Twin Lake, Michigan

Our friend Meg invited us to stay at her Lake House for a weekend near Grand Haven. We had it to ourselves and had so much fun together with our little family. Kinsley catching clams at the Lake House.  

Kins found a cute frog that played with her all day in the sand. Flew kites, played on the wave runner and made sand castles.

Skyler tried fishing off of the dock but never caught anything. Made a fire, roasted marshmallo's and caught lightning bugs.  

We went to Grand Haven and spent the day at the beach.

 

 

Kinsley's 3rd Birthday

June 24th 2012

 Britany Frampton was so sweet to make Kinsley a fun Barbie cake.

 Kinsley wanted to have a swim party with popsicles. So we invited all her friends. Corbin, Reagan, Ellie, Alyce, Abby, Ava, Jacque, Lilly, and Kate. 

 So much fun... all of our great friends and neighbors came.
