Family Time

It was kind of like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and everyone's birthday this past week!  :)  It was so wonderful for the whole family to be together!  Most importantly we were celebrating Kayla's eighth birthday and baptism and Hailey's first birthday, but other than that it was just really nice to be together for a few days.

A few of the highlights:

• kalua pig and pineapple
• Mason dancing to "Happy" during Hailey's first birthday video - the kid can dance!!  :)
• strawberry and donut sticks until 1:00 am
• color coordinated banners (it's a good thing my kids are missing the birthday luaus, so at least that part of their lives they don't have to compare to their cousins')
• Kayla's baptism
• the baptism video (a five-tissue event)
• being together and talking and laughing
• watching Mason and Noah play together
• watching Henri protect himself from Hailey
• family pictures
• hiking Timp 
• watching all the kids sing "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam" together
• visiting the pumpkin patch
• adventures at City Creek Canyon and Temple Square
• beautiful fall leaves all along the way

It was a fun week!  Until the next time, we'll enjoy the pictures and memories....
