The end of 2012

Well here is some pictures that we took in Oct-Dec. right before Thanksgiving I had my gallbladder out and I had complications. Lets just say I would not wish what I went through on anyone. I wanted to die the pain was so bad. Because of all that I didn't get around to posting about Halloween and Christmas and all the stuff in between! So here it is




This is from last year but we were the same thing this year. I always want to be something that the whole family can be but I wait to long. Maybe next year I will get a head start on costumes




Halloween was fun this year. Korv was a year older and saying the cutest things to people that gave him candy:) he got double at every house cause he would just stand there batting his blue eyes until they gave him another piece of candy:)




Raquel was a little glow worm




Korv out Trick or Treating




My new bike:) Joseph got it for me for my birthday. Here is what happened, story by Joseph!
Steps to plan a successful birthday surprise:
Pick a present you know she will love (success)
Do research, pick best product for the person and price (success)
Plan a time to go get it and a place to hide it (success)
What could go wrong you ask? As I am trying to sneak the present in, Korver runs into the room where Brittany is and says, "mom, dad bought you a bike come see!"
Allowing my two year old to be apart of the scheme (epic fail) LESSON LEARNED:)




Us at my Grandpas 80th birthday party! So glade I have healthy grandparents




For my Grandmas birthday I gave her this! Four generations. Her, my mom, me and Raquel




Christmas!! I love this picture




Joseph,Raquel and I got to play Joseph, baby Jesus and Mary for our ward Christmas party. Raquel slept the whole time, she did awesome.




It was such a cool experience to play Mary.




Raquel's first time meeting Santa:) Korv would not sit on his lap but he did tell him he wanted a scooter for Christmas!




Friday before Christmas we celebrated with my family.




On Saturday we went to my Grandma and Grandpas house for dinner and to listen to the story "I Believe in Santa Clause" our family tradition:)




On Christmas Eve we went to our Aunt Trudy and Uncle Bobs for the nativity and yummy food. Harlow was Mary, Crason was Joseph, Raquel was baby Jesus and Jameson and Korver were the shepherds:)




Santa came to our house:)




Korv about to open his presents from Santa




Raquel and all her presents.




My new diaper bag. Ahhh I love this thing
It was an amazing Christmas. So happy we have our families to share such a important holiday together!!!




After Christmas my whole family went to St. George for New Years. It's always so much fun when we all get together!!! We played dance dance revolution almost every night:)
On our way home from St. George our transmission went out. NOT GOOD!!! We had to have our car towed. Luckily our family was behind us and we hitched a ride with them



After we got home from St. George we all got sick. Korv and Raquel got the flu.




Poor little guy was so sick!!!




Thanks to Tamiflu we are all feeling better and back to our normal routine!



Love my kids. Here is hoping the rest of 2013 goes well:)
