Stapley Family: Decemeber

On December 14th I picked up Brad from work and we headed up to Temple Square. We met my family at Crown Burger and had some dinner. It was raining/ snowing so we bundled up and walked to Temple Square. I was fun to look at the lights. Beckett kept pointing at the trees and saying "lights." We didn't stay very long because it was starting to rain more and the twins weren't very happy.

On the 15th it was snowing so Brad decided not to go into work for the morning (it was Saturday). So he took the kids outside to play in the snow. Ryker was so excited to play out in the snow with his new Spiderman hat. Sophie didn't like the cold and cried most of the time. Beckett was just happy to be there.

Later on that night, Brad took me on a date with the Malouf's. We went to dinner at a yummy Italian restaurant. I still dream about the bread and tomatoes! We then headed to Jordan Commons to see The Hobbit. We saw it in 3D on the IMAX which was pretty fun. I love having friends that we can go out with and I love going with my husband.

I don't remember the exact day but I was in the bathroom getting ready and decided to check on the kids (they were too quiet). I found them in their bathroom covered head to toe in Vicks Vapor rub! Ryker had a ton in his hair and all over his body. Beckett had some in his hair too. The whole bottle was gone! It took 3 days and many washes to get all of the grease out of Ryker's hair.

The 21st was Brad's work party. Went and ate dinner and chatted with people from his work. They had a few games and an ugly sweater contest. After eating, we left and headed over to Walmart to finish Christmas shopping. It was fun to get out just the two of us. Cindy and Steve watched the kids while we went.

The 22nd was my family party. We went to Brett and Shauna's house. We all chatted and ate dinner, the food was really yummy. Santa decided to stop by and say hi. Ryker was excited to tell Santa that he wanted Spiderman slippers. They had a cousin gift exchange and all of the kids were excited about their presents. We had to leave right after that because all of our kids were tired and crying.

On the 23rd We went to Cindy and Steve's for Ashtyn's birthday. She received a make up set from my parents and went right to work making Grandpa "beautiful." He was such a good sport he even let her do his nails.

On the 28th we went with the Malouf's to Scheels. It was fun to walk around and see all of the gear and fishes. Brad, Ryker, Lindsay, and Micheal rode the Ferris Wheel while I watched the kids. We ate at Noodles after. It was a good fun family night.
