Brown's Christmas

Because we wouldn't be in Utah on Christmas day, my family had their christmas party a week early so we wouldn't miss out on any of the fun. 

Pappy of course was a major hit with the girls, they sang and danced to their cowboy song, 'ghost riders' and he gave them their favorite treat, chocolate covered raisins. 

We had taco's and tenley loved them just as much as the rest of us! 

i love taco's and wish we had them more often then just at christmas.

We also played a game around where you pass the candy bar around...it was a little complicated because the kids just wanted to keep their candy bar...

We also did BROWN's Got TALENT, talent show.  Cy did gangum style with MG and Tenley as his back up singers.  My mom got an awesome karoki machine that we can hook our ipods up to, and all the kids took turns signing their favorite song.  tenley is definitely not microphone shy, she sang  mama mia's super troop, and money money, and taylor swifts never ever. 

Here is  most of the clan,

my grandma gave all the kids little stuffed animals and a special card.  while she was passing out cards tenley thought she was so funny sneaking behind her and playing peek-a-boo.

Later that week we headed up to Sandy and visited the new Sheele store? i think that is what its called!

we didn't do any shopping we just went for the Ferris wheel and kid play place.

we had a lot of fun and hit up JCW's afterwoods on my request i love that place!

the girls were acting goofy so spence rapped them up like babies....they love it!

we gave pappy a special gift, its a curious george book that you read and record your voice

makes me cry to think we won't be seeing them for awhile, but this way the girls still can listen to him read them a book every night.

and our final picture together before our 8hr drive to colorado and then on to our 14hr drive to texas.

its been only a week since we left, but the girls still ask where pappy and fritz are.  it seems they focus on different people each day from grandma to reese, to manda and MG and so on.

they ask to go over to JoJo's house daily, poor things don't get that it takes 22hrs in a car to get there, otherwise i'd be there every day.  There is truly nothing better than being together with family. Everyday I give thanks for having such a wonderful, loving, and understanding family
