Sleepover and Ski

 After the shower Isla stayed out our house to sleepover and hang out with Alegra and Lexi.  Naomi picked up Alegra and Isla to ski at Snowbird today, so it worked great!

Alegra with Naomi and Isla and their friends Snowbird!

Lexi skied with Ezra and Rich today at Alta!

Macy's Baby Shower

 

Pictures loaded backwards - but a fun night of food and baby shower games with the girls!

Sunday Dinner

It took me a minute to realize but 4 out of the 5 siblings plus grammy were together last night for dinner.  Rich had just driven into town with Nicholas and Ezra (to take Nicholas to UVU) and Rebecca's family hasn't left for Provo yet.  It was fun to be all together.  We missed Ryan!!

Jacksons Are in Town

The Jacksons came into town on Christmas Day, towards dinner time. We all gathered at Grammy's for dinner and fun.  We have been able to play, go ice skating, go to a bouncy house, swim, and hang out together.  We love when they visit!

The girls were able to babysit Heath on Friday while Rebecca and David Snowboarded and the other kids were in ski and snowboard lessons.  

This is grammy.  It was fun to pull up to the bank and see her. I love that I run into her doing errands sometimes too. Love that we live near each other.  

Christmas night with my sister and mom.  Love these ladies!

Christmas morning 2024

 Never gets old.......love Christmas morning with our family!

Shawn and I got up at about 7.  There was a light snow falling and it was so peaceful.  Alegra got up at 8 a.m. and woke the other 2 up.  They were so grateful opening presents and they all got each other something very thoughtful, which melts my momma heart. Cruz made pens for the girls.  Alegra got Cruz and Lexi Octo buddies for their phones (a sticky thing which they would always steal hers), and Lexi made a poem for Alegra and one for Cruz and printed it out with a picture and laminated it.  Such a wonderful morning.  

The Michael Jordan bobble head Lexi made Shawn and I in her art class. Her wrapping was amazing too, in 2 parts!  

Shawn saved a windbreaker and a more winter coat that he had when he was in high school.  Vintage is in right now so Cruz was super stoked to get them.  Shawn was a huge Syracuse fan, so they are both Syracuse jackets.  Cruz was super appreciative!  

The girls got the boys a haircutting kit!  

Cruz made all of us pens in his woodworking class.  They are super cool and all different.  

Grammy and Russ came over for breakfast.  Grammy opened up the gift we got for her.  A new meat thermometer, I know, not very exciting!  I also put together a Raddon Family Calendar that we gave to her this morning too.  

Alegra got a new nail kit and she wanted to try it out and Cruz volunteered!  

I had made a french toast overnight casserole and a hash brown, sausage, egg, and veggie overnight casserole that we popped in the oven this morning to have for breakfast.
