Santa's Workshop!

Every year Clint's mom puts on a show the two days after Thanksgiving at the Dixie Center called Santa's Workshop. This year I decided I would make a bunch of cookies for the show and sell them. I made sugar, chocolate chip, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. There were right around 1300 cookies made by the time the show rolled around. It was most definitely a success. Thanks to Clint's whole family for all their help. We could not have done it without you. Three wild kids at the show made for an interesting time.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was a blast. We ate at Clint's parents house. The weather was so nice that they decided to have the feast outside. We had great company and delicious food. Really, what more could we ask for?

Thanks Michelle for snapping some pictures of my family! I was so sad when I realized that I forgot my camera. (You take awesome pictures by the way. I wish you could always be following my kids around taking pictures!)

The Parties

Cannon sure does know how to get the best birthdays ever. This year, Cannon's birthday fell on a Thursday so we thought it would be best to do his party on the following Saturday. He wanted a parade themed birthday party this year. On the day of his birthday when his Aunt Colleen and Grandma "GG" called him to wish him a happy birthday, he mentioned to them that he wanted a surprise birthday party. So, as he suggested, his Aunt Colleen and Grandma planned him the best surprise birthday party ever! Out on the bed of Grandpa Sullivan's flatbed truck, Grandpa Bruce strung lights and hung balloons. We ate donuts and drank hot chocolate and Cannon opened some birthday presents. It was one awesome surprise birthday party!

(Not to mention, we already went to McDonald's earlier that day with his Mema for lunch.)

When Saturday rolled around, he had his parade party. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty much over his birthday by then because I knew he already had such a good time on his real birthday. So the parade party become more and more simple by the minute. The kids sure did have a blast though.

Cannon getting ready to blow out his birthday cake candle. (Notice the simplicity of the cake, a bunch of Hostess products stacked with a candle on the top. Clint says this is tradition in the Sullivan family so why not carry it on again right?)

Fun at the track

This picture makes me laugh every time I see it. These kids were determined to climb to the top of Hansen Stadium. They all climbed at their own speed. And yes, even Jacee girl made it to the top!

Cohen running fast!

Jacee will always stop and smile to get her picture taken.

Way back at the beginning of November, I ran in the Snow Canyon Half Marathon. The kids loved it. They loved the medal i received when I finished and that so many people were running. They thought it was cool that I got a shirt and number. So they decided that we have to let them practice for what they call the "kids half marathon." So what have we been doing lately to practice for it? We go to the track to "train" for the kids half marathon. They love it, and it wears them out. No complaints here! :)

1hr 47 minutes was my time... Not to bad..
