My little performer

Every year Lins grocery store has a holiday event with entertainment, games, and prizes. Usually every year Randy's sister, Bea puts together some dances and musical numbers and I sing with them. This year my girls wanted to sing Jingle Bells, which surprised me because they are SO shy! But they practiced over and over again with the karaoke tape. Especially Emma. She had it perfected. Naomi, however would only practice a couple times, and said that she didn't want to sing. When we got to Lins, Emma refused to even go up to the mic, and when Natalie got up there and realized that Emma wasn't going to sing, she wouldn't either. Naomi was excited to get her own microphone, and stood there and sang the whole song by herself! It was so adorable! This picture isn't very good, but Randy only took one, so it's my only option. I was so proud of my little singer, and happy that at least one of them sang so we didn't make too big of a scene.

Some cute moments...

I am sure that most of you will not think these are funny, or they wont make any sense to you, but I had to journal them so that I would remember, so you can skip this post if you want.

The other day Emma and Natalie decided they wanted to make a Christmas list. They were asking me for help on how to spell things. When they got to the end of their list, they both decided to ask for $100! Man, I hope they get it, and maybe I will ask for money too!

A few days later, Katie's kids came to play while she ran some errands in St.George. She had bought her kids some donuts to eat on the way because they left so early, but Daniel is the only one who will eat donuts, so they had a bunch left over. Katie brought them in to share with my kids. Emma decided that she had wanted one, but Leah had warned her that they were "NOT good". I told her that she could try one and decide if she liked them or not. She took it outside where they were playing, and not long after, came in and said "mom, Leah said that if I eat this then I am not American"..... I was trying so hard not to laugh, but where do kids come up with these things?? lol

Today Briallen was climbing all over me and moving all around, and I was trying to pay a few bills, so I told her to play with my hair. She started playing with it, left the room, and then came back to play with it some more. It wasn't long before I realized that she had caked the top of my head with conditioner! I guess that is her way of telling me that I need to shower or something!

I love doing Temple work!!

A couple weeks ago, some of us in Randy's family were able to go to the temple and do some family sealings. It was such and awesome experience! The spirit was so strong there. Both Randy's Mom and Dad were able to be sealed to thier parents. I am so glad I was able to be there.

Late Halloween post

This year for Halloween Natalie and Naomi both wanted to be princesses, and Emma wanted to be a witch. Naomi dressed herself, and wouldn't let me pick out her outfit, but she was a cutie anyway. And Briallen was a little Teddy Bear, but every time I turned around there were parts of her bear costume spread out all over, so she wasn't into the dressing up this year! We took the kids to the mall and trick or treated there where it was warm, and then we came home. It was a lot of fun.
