Tammy Treasures Christmas Party

Lovely!

Homemade presents are the best!

Sinter Klaus 2009

Yummy, Yummy! The horse ate all the carrots, hay and had a couple nibbles of the apple. We were very generous this year so they would have lots of energy to get to all the different houses in time.

Marjo, if you are reading this you are probably wondering why Sinter Klaus wraps our presents. His helper was never told that normally things are unwrapped until the tradition was well set in place and it was too late to change how things were done. We are just so happy that Sinter Klaus comes to our house. We love it every Dec 5th!

Our Favorite Time of the Year

I love how all the ornaments always end up in one spot on the Christmas tree

Here's another favorite: looking at all the cute homemade decorations and seeing Adam's chubby little face. It brings back so many memories!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Daddy! (November 27)

Here is Joel's typical Birthday dessert. No wonder he doesn't like cake! At least his birthday didn't land directly on Thanksgiving this year. (poor guy)

Sleeping Beauty

I know the day will soon be here when Morgan will no longer be falling asleep on the couch at random moments. Kindergarten is coming way too fast and I will miss my little companion. At least I have Lilly right? She will be lonely too.

Family Pics 2009

Happy Halloween!

Go Atomics!

The Atomics may have lost the game 1-2 but Seth made the only goal. We are so proud of him!!! Here are some pictures from today's game.

Mario by Day, Nerd by Night

Joel wanted to dress up for work and show the kids at the clinic that he had a funny side. We had quite the time trying to add a belly to Joel's "petite" body. A big thanks to Jeff Gray for lending us his costume! Later that night we had our ward trunk or treat activity. Now that Joel is the new bishop, he is really trying to make more of an effort in ALL things. (dressing up for Halloween being one of them) I think it's been twelve years since we dressed up. I know, so sad. Being nerds together was fun. We do make a perfect match after all!

Fall Break in San Francisco

Trolley Fun

Riding on the ferry to Alcatraz Prison.

My sweet boys locked in their prison cell. I was only slightly tempted to leave them there.

Cousin Buddies. We love Camden.

Halloween Fun at Tammy Treasure's Preschool

Here is our little Princess Morgan. Fortunately for us she was okay with using one of her "older" dress up outfits for Halloween. She had a great time this afternoon at her party with all her little buddies.
She was freezing in our 71 degree weather today! What babies we are turning out to be!!

She entered the pumpkin decorating contest. I was proud to say she painted it ALL by herself. Isn't it beautiful? What an incredible artist! She even won first place!!! but so did the other kids.

Here is the sweetest, kindest, most loving preschool teacher in the entire world! Her name is Mrs. Tammy Farnsworth. Morgan loves her and I love it that she loves her. I don't know how many little girls have it as good as she does.

EASTER

We had a great Easter Weekend. On Saturday we had the Easter egg hunt with the cousins. Seth refused to use the Easter baskets Shannon had bought because they looked like "girl baskets." So he used a big bowel. On Sunday we made Easter baskets for the sister missionaries in our ward. Members of the ward brought over stuff on Sunday and the kids had fun putting them together. Morgan of course was jealous of how big their Easter baskets were and told us multiple times that this wasn't fair! Sunday evening we had dinner with Shannon's sister's family.
