Here are Christmas cards that we sent out this year

Santa Visit

Merry Christmas! Santa came to visit after the nativity play. We only had tears from one little one and only for just a second or two! Thank goodness for good friends who play Santa!

Kenny sat on Santa's lap and asked Santa for help getting through law Santa. I think this Santa has helped him plenty with law school as he had his father (Judge Lloyd George) give his recommendation to BYU in behalf of Kenny! You can't get any better help then that.

Nativity Pageant

Years ago when my kids we little, we put on the nativity play with the Kennedy cousins and the Lee cousins. It has been quite a few years since those days - they all grew up!

So now it is time for the 'Second Generation'! With all the Kennedy cousin's kids, we started up that tradition again.

Here they all are: Kennedy Flynn (Nicole), Johnny Sunstrum (Tom), Ella (Trent) Kate Sunstrum (Tom), Cohen (Trent), Bennett (Kenny), Mason Lyman (Lacey), Drew Clark (Tracy Clark). Next year we will have two new babies.

Bennett looked so darling as a sheep. His little onesie was covered with cotton balls. He had Kenny's black socks on his arms and legs.

Lacey and Mason - check out the other pictures of Mason eating his shepherd's hook!

Johnny and Kate Sunstrum


Cohen as Joseph

Ella was Mary riding on the donkey! Bennett loved the cotton balls.

Kennedy as 'angelic' even after getting her shots earlier that day!

With 7 kids 5 and under, I think they did a pretty darn good job. Drew was our narrator.

Baby Llayton was going to be our baby Jesus but they were unable to be here. We missed them.

At the end of the night, Santa made a special visit! I will post those pictures next.

Merry Christmas!

Aren't we all so amazed at the beautiful snow that fell a few days ago! There still is snow on our front lawn 2 days later. I love this first picture - the yellow leaves have not fallen off our neighbors tree. I love the two trees side by side...two seasons in one, fall and winter!

This is what our front yard and street looked llike about 4:30. Snow fell until nearly 10 pm

We had to take Llayton out in it since it was the first snow for him.

I promise! I hate to compare but...

This is the last time, seriously! I just am surprised how similar these two babies are. Maybe babies just look all alike - no. I really don't think that is true. But I do think Llayton looks so much like Bennett at this age. Actually Bennett is about 10 days older than Llayton in these pictures. The first image on the leapard stool is Bennett and the second one is Llayton. The next three images are Bennett, the last three are Llayton. What darling faces they have! They certainly are 'pretty' boys!

Love his big eyes!

Megan keeps us up dated with pictures of Bennett. We are excited to be spending Thanksgiving with them to be able to kiss and love on him. His hair looks like it is coming in so nicely and his eyes just keep getting bigger. I do miss their little family!

Extra from Halloween

Here are a few pictures taken Halloween night. Lana dressed up as a deer and Tyson a hunter (his second love!) Lana wrapped her hair up into the antlers and sewed her costume.


Bree's mom bought Llayton his first Halloween outfit. He's just a darling.

She's a girl!

Sesily did her ultra sound and found out she is having a girl! She is due the first week of April. Neither Chad or I can make any sense of these ultra sounds. Maybe you can. Sesily says it is her profile of her face and top of chest.

Happy Halloween

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch with Cohen & Ella. Check out Megan's blog for pictures of Bennett.
