My (Super) Heroes

I am so lucky to have a house full of super heroes. They run around like this at least once a day.

Daddy was showing them how Super Heros are supposed to pose.

Did I forget Christmas?

Wow, I totally forgot to post Christmas pictures. Must be the pregnant brain :). We spent Christmas Eve over at Grandma Nicole and Grandpa Scott's. We had an awesome Chinese dinner. Santa came to our house that night and everyone came over to watch the boys on Christmas morning. After that we went back to Grandma and Grandpa's for breakfast. The sick little man cut some of our plans out, but all in all it was a great Christmas. Dallen got really sick on Christmas Eve so he was dragging a little bit, but he was just as excited as Ashton was he just couldn't show it.

Ashton's list to Santa changed just days before Christmas, but luckily Santa got the revisions and was able to bring him one of the new items. They love their Light Sabers.

And please excuse my bad photography, but it was really bad lighting and they were so bouncy :).

Here is the second Christmas. Grandpa Jimmy and Grandma Kathleen weren't able to come out, but Aunt Mandy brought their gifts, so this is for you guys.

The boys loved their gifts. They have slept with their new blankets every night.

I do love Primary

I have been in Primary and the nursery for the last 4 years off and on, but mostly on :). It really is a lot of fun and I love all the kids that I get to work with. The class I had this last year was special because it was the second time I had been their teacher, I was also their nursery leader. I told them not to be suprised if I ended up being their teacher again in the future. Anyway I just got released and it is the perfect time for a break.

I wanted to share the Christmas present I gave to my primary class for a couple reasons:

1-I wanted to show that even a challenged crafter like myself can make something super cute and functional. Basically if I can do it you can too :)
2- So I could tell my awesome helpers thank you. I couldn't have done it without my mom, she helped me with the pattern and I don't have a sewing machine so that would have been hard, and Sel helped with the pins for a while. It would have taken me days without help.
3-I get a ton of ideas by looking at blogs and these "Crayon Cozies" make a great gift for the little ones, and it makes it easy to carry crayons anywhere you might need them. So if anyone is looking for a gift idea here you go :)
