Daddy Daughter Date...

Yes another Tea Party... Ella talked Matt into having a tea party one Sunday afternoon.
I thought it was just the sweetest thing. Matt adores this little princess, and we all love it when she says " Tea Party me..."

Knudsen Christmas Party...

We started our party off right with a yummy dinner at Brick Oven. While we waited the kids were very entertained by the balloon man, and an unexpected visit from Santa.

All the kids spent the night At Grandma's, even little Ella. She had a hard time falling asleep because she couldn't decide which cousin to sleep by...
We all arrived first thing in the morning for a yummy breakfast and another surprise visit from Santa...

James was the most thrilled to see Santa and sit on his lap. He brought the Magic of Christmas in to the room.

Ella on the other hand was less than thrilled with Santa. She did get a fun gift from him and by the time he was ready to leave she felt brave enough to give him a hug goodbye.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a super fun party.

zions bank...

Hunter's fourth grade class made cute paper ornaments and took them to Zions Bank and decorated their tree in the Lobby. They sang some fun Christmas songs, and then they all become very reverent as they sang Silent Night. It was really sweet.
Zion's bank was very generous to the kids and gave them $300.00 to use for another field trip.

Grandma Kathy came over on her lunch break to see the whole thing. It was a fun outing for us all.

Festival of trees...

To start off our Christmas celebrations we took the kids to the Festival of trees. We met the whole Knudsen gang and enjoyed all the beautiful lights and smells.
We finished our outing with dinner at pee Wei's. It was super yummy and fun.

Bag lady...

This is my latest creation, made for Aunt Valerie who is so cool to keep ordering bags and feed my sewing habit. I must say it's probably my favorite one.

Happy Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Ivie clan in Ogden. We enjoyed yummy food and fun company. Aunt Valerie really knows how to through a fun party.

Later that night Brooke and I ventured out for our black friday shopping. We brought our camp chairs and blankets and sat in the line at Target, waiting to buy a tv for brooke and Ipods for the boys. We were very successful and got everything we wanted. Everyone thought we were crazy to sit in line for three hours, but we had a great time laughing, and people watching. Can't wait til next year...

Some Knudsen fun...

This is what James and Ella do on cold winter days. Actually they do this almost every day.

Grant and Hunter brought home from school tickets to the woman's BYU basketball game
It was tons of fun watching the game and watching Comso do his thing.
Ella loved watching the cougar from afar, but the moment he came close to us she screamed and screamed. That didn't stop her from being a true blue fan. She still goes around saying BYU, BYU. we think she might be a cheerleader someday.
