December!!

Last Couple weeks have been pretty low key, just doing some Christmas activities and finishing up Blain's Wrestling Season. ALSO we bought a Sony A 6500 mirrorless camera on black friday sale with 2 lenses for capturing more cute moments and all that sports action!
 First day test pictures with the new camera!!
 The girls have been pretty good coming to Blain's wrestling matches every week. They like to play on the bars, jump rope, color, and do hair!
 Swim move!
 Pin that boy!
 Santa came to Cabellas so we went up to sit with Santa and then over to help Jonny build a mantle as a surprise for Molly. We waited for about an hour and all the kids were pretty good looking at all the animals and coloring letters to Santa. Well literally one minute before our turn Avenlea has a total meltdown about nothing and won't sit with Santa. So I have this picture with 3 cute kiddos and santa!
 Blain playing in Aunt Molly's house

 Some cute models posing for me :)
 Chloe is busy learning songs for Christmas on the piano

Gingerbread Houses! I opted for graham cracker, frosting and our own bags of candy to make houses this year. I think it ended up being a bit more expensive but we also got candy that we actually like eating and graham crackers that are making yummy snacks so I think its a success.
 Chloe spent so much time making her house! She did great piping her own frosting, getting her walls to stand up, and even putting on a roof!
So happy putting the candy on her roof
 Zeyta's roof got so heavy with frosting it caved in! But Daddy fixed it up and she loved eating all that frosting on her house
 Avenlea loved the xl sourpatch kids
 Chloe and her finished product!
 Blain decided to make a gingerbread man out of the graham crackers. What a creative idea!!

Around the house the kids are busy with their chores that I have made a new system for. I made mason pint jars with their names using my cricut and 2 bigger quart jars with $ signs and a CHORE jar. They have to move all their chore sticks into the chore jar before they can do ipad. It's working really well. They have the same amount of chores but now I don't have to be reminding them which chores they have for the day. They just come home and work on their chore jars which also include hanging up their backpack, homework and piano practice!
 Avenlea loves wearing her leotards!
 My cute little 4 year old!
 Grandma Janice sent a package of Christmas books that they were all so excited about!
 Blain is reading like a champ!
 Zeyta dancing with Daddy to Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack. They love listening to kids in motion, kids favorite songs and "Chloe Chipmunks" as she calls it.

Wrestling Tournaments: Blain had his last 2 tournaments of his second year in little wasp wrestling. Nate taught him 2 new moves - the cradle and the barbed wire that he picked up on really fast! It was fun watching him try to implement the new moves and pin those little boys!
 They had a tournament at the Wasatch Event center
 Get him Blain!!
 Blain wrestling one of Nate's friend's little boys! He was wrestling little boys about his same weight. We actually found out at the end he was wrestling the next weight class up but he still did awesome.
 There were about 16 matches going on at a time, sometimes it was hard to find Blain's match but all those boys looked like they were having a blast!


 Just checking to see if it's real gold!!
 Blain and some of his team #8!
 Nate was Blain's "real" coach this year 
Congratulations on getting a shiny medal and for all your hard work!!
